Took a friend. He was in awe the whole time and I was just chuckling to myself. As usual I felt like a kid in a Candy Store. (Speaking of it, Great candy throught the store, Henry). Left with a Carbon Fiber tripod and some other goodies. Always enjoy going there. Great store, great service.

I'm afraid to go there - Adorama, too. I'd spend too much and have trouble carrying it all home.

Carrying purchases out is not a valid excuse. They will ship it home for you. LOL

Indeed they will. For free too! Hard to beat.

I stopped by there last week just to look around. Nothing in mind.
But I ended up spending $2,242 on things I did not know I wanted (much less needed?), including a used Canon L lens, and the highly rated Sony P&S (DSC-RX100M III Cyber-shot) for carrying in my pocket. I'm not a P&S camera fan, but this model caught my attention.

It is all scheduled to arrive at my home tomorrow.
Christmas comes early this year!
(And so will the credit card bill!!!) Ouch.

Well, Jerry, only your second fear is unfounded.... :lol:
(Spending too much is far too easy!)

I managed to resist buying one of them, despite the excellent reviews.

You are a far more disciplined man than I Jerry!
If only I had such will power....
(Maybe it's latent Pentaxian tendencies...)

When I find myself checking credit cards to see which one has "enough room on it," I know I'm in trouble. :D

I get all goose bumpy here at Precision Camera, which we're blessed to have right here in Austin. Does B&H make it look small? If so, I'd probably have a nervous breakdown...

I like going to Precision because it is a great shop. B&H is probably 50 times that size at least. I always go on major overload.

Good thing I'm in Chicago. I'd definitely get myself into trouble there. G A S would be running wild.

We'll tell Henry to make sure at least one D4S is in stock. ;-)
