So I am looking to get the D7100 body only and 42nd street photo has it at $749. Seems to good to be true. Never ordered from here. Anyone have any experience. Are they reputable?

Use B&H or Adorama or KEH. What was priced to you is most likely gray market which will not have a NikonUSA warranty. It will probably not even have a battery. Buyer beware.

One experience and it was good. Bought an open box. Body only, the STM lens had been removed. I got the body for a 150 dollars less than B & H. And it arrived on time with factory warranty. The customer service called me before the package and ship and tried to push some accessories I didn't need but was real courteous. Then called after I received it to see if I was satisfied with the order and the process. Thought the shipping time was a day or two too long, but it shipped the day they promised.

As Mr. Pine mentioned, check the above, if money is an issue (it is/was for me) try also looking for refurbished bodies.
I bought a refurbished D7100 at Cameta Camera for $890 and it came with a 1 year warranty from Cameta. Something to think about.

Just my opinion but I have always felt that 42st photo was kind of tradind on the name of 47stPhoto which was a mainstay of NYCITY photo houses for decades.

You could actually shop some of these stores yourself since you are in the neighborhood.
You may also want a second memory card since the 7100 has two slots.

I inquired about a Nikon 105mm lens which was much less expensve than B&H. They told me it was gray market and had no warranty. They also told me that they do not sell a US warranty Nikon. I would assume from that that they don't sell US warranty Nikon cameras as well

At least they rold you that they are selling grey market stuff, that's a plus.

If the price looks to be good to be true, it's too good to be true. Go with an established dealer like B&H or Adorama.

You might get lucky. Odds are you won't. Probably 10 bad reviews of 42nd St for every good one.

I stay with B&H. 50% thru online & 50% I go there. Love the store and the helpful sales people.
