Has anyone had any dealings with Big Time Camera, in Tampa Florida? How could I find out any info as to reliability concerning them?

The ones most favored by Hoggers are:
Adorama
B&H
Cameta
KEH
Roberts

Stick with thses and you will likely reduce the chance of an unpleasant experience. There are others, but these predominate.

Do a Better Business search for complaints and resolutions for those complaints

I think they may need a little polish...

UHH member Mac has a good point. Per the Better Business Bureau (easily Googled), Big Time Camera has a pattern of at least 18 complaints in the last few years. Keep in mind that many disgruntled customers don’t bother to file formal complaints. Customers who did file with BBB re Big Time Camera mention being overcharged, important accessories such as batteries not being included and incorrect products being received. The choice is up to you.

Looks like a GREAT place to STAY AWAY FROM!

Your profile doesn't provide even a hint of your location. Are you looking for a local camera store or would this be a "mail order" purchase for you?

I have bought from 3 of these -- excellent! Uhh... will I become persona non grata if I confess that I have enjoyed great results buying photography items from Amazon & Ebay, also? 😮
