    Question Trust worthy online camera stores

    Hi everyone,

    I am thinking of picking up a new lens for my E510 and maybe a flash. I like the 18-180. Right now I just have the 14-42
    I have a few local stores in my city but the prices do not compare to some of the online stores. I don't mind buying online but I have heard some horror stories from other forums online and from people leaving feedback on Ebay.

    Does anyone out there have an online store that they can recommend?:thumbsup:

    Thanks, Gord

    www.adorama.com is a good one and B&H cameras is also very trustworthy. I order from B&H all the time because their pricing is the best and they back everything as if you walked into their store.

    www.beachcamera.com is also a good one to look at. Check the Sticky. Olympus is offering a $75.00 rebate on that lens throught the end of this month.
    Be sure a check the Camera Dealer Feedback forum

    I think theres a link somewhere in the forums too if you go to Adorama so that PJ gets a bit 'o cash for the website if you click through and make a purchase. Just a plug if you decide to go to that site.

    J&R (www.jr.com) in NYC is very reliable and if the item is in stock they price match any authorized online dealer. I've bought many things from J&R including recently my E-510.

    You may want to look at this about J&R and their rating first if you are considering using them, Jeff

    Those are pretty bad. I've never had a problem though...
