It's not worth the hassle go with B&H or try Adorama.
Stay away from Abe’s of Maine.
Not bad! Abe is charging only $100 more than B&H, when you add the warranty. Maybe I'll order a couple.
I bought most of my camera gear from B&H. B&H never sold me a Gray market camera. Not only should you avoid Abe's of Maine. Two others should be added to the list. They are 42nd Street Photo and Tri-State. Unlike Nikon, Canon USA will fix a Gray market camera, regardless of where it was bought. But, you pay for the repairs.
It has been discussed here many times. BUY FROM REPUTABLE DEALERS ONLY. Get peace of mind.
@architect - thanks for the great tip
@jarry amp @gasman got it. Others - perhaps a second read?
Methinks you are poking some fun here. I'd bet 99% of UHH'ers would recommend staying away from Abe's.
