The usual suspects -B&H, Adorama, etc. You get good service and good prices. Price is important, but it is not everything.

I have ALWAYS had the best prices from ebay... You will pay more at stores, while at ebay you will pay the going price set by buyers... I have brought on line for many years and ALWAYS have come away with very satified buys, sometimes at amazing low prices... Always check out the sellers rating... that means a lot...

This is where I buy my equipment. Peace of mind from a reputable seller is sometimes worth the money also.

You could look for the lowest price from a store in Brooklyn - way below what anyone else is offering. You could do that, but it would be a bad idea.
I buy from Amazon, Adorama, B&H, and ebay. I also buy from our one local camera store.
If you shop on ebay, look for a rating of 99.5% or better. I don't hesitate to buy "Factory Refurbished" if the price is right. I've also gotten good deals on used cameras and lenses on ebay. There are reputable camera stores selling there. I've bought from Cameta, Roberts, and Ritz on ebay.
I see no reason to buy from some place you've never heard of just because the price is $10 lower. Delivery and service are important, too.
Manufacturer's web sites often sell refurbished at a good price. Before you buy, read online reviews.

If it's a toss up between an excellent body and an excellent lens, go for the excellent lens. Cameras come and go; lenses are forever.

Thank you! We do our best - and of course, everything we sell comes with a warranty, 30-days return period - and if there are problems of any kind, you can email me directly: Helen@adorama.com
One tip for buyers is to check a seller's feedback at www.resellerratings.com; if it's under 9/10 then tread carefully......
