Personally, Best Buy is the last place I shop for camera gear, here in Clearwater. My only problem with them is that when I go in to look/shop, I am usually wearing shorts, a tee shirt and sandals. (It's Clearwater, Fl. and the temp is generally in the 60's -90's). The sales people look at me like I'm intruding and either refuse or can't answer simple questions about a camera or lens. Now, I got decent help at the Best Buy in Palisades Mall, in New York, so this is probably just a case of a couple of store managers here need to do some creative firing. But, they've been taken off of my photo AND computer as I got Exactly the same treatment in their computer department when I was looking for an 8 gb graphics accelerator card. (I ended up getting the Nvidia TESLA GRID M3 3020 16GB GDDR5 which cost me about $2200 so it wasn't a case of me not wanting to buy anything expensive). So the store in Clearwater on Hwy 19 and Gulf to Bay is the last place I look for anything. As I said, some are really good (Palisades Mall) and some are horrible (Clearwater Fl). But since you have gift cards to defer the cost.. they should be good. But, as always, verify that it is a USA version.

Ah, I think I can explain the contrast: You weren't wearing shorts and flipflops in New York.
