Hey, all. Looking for an upgrade from a Canon 300D. Thinking about the 30D, thinking about the 5D. Found a site for a place in Brooklyn - 'digicombos.com'. Their prices look good, but I hear such horror stories about online vendors in new York (except for B&H)... Is it still the general rule of thumb that if you're looking at camera vendors based in New York city, you're doing so at your own risk? Thanks!

Well, apparently that new name is too new new to be registered at http://www.resellerratings.com yet. However you may want to check e.g. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Broadway_Photo for some of the typical scams. Then you can compare if digicombos is trying the same old tricks. jue >> Stay informed about: QUESTION: What's the 'rep' like for New York City camera s..

Berger Brothers does exemplary business. I've ordered from B&H, Adorama, Cameta, and they're all fine - no problems, and I'd order from them again...but only if Berger Brothers doesn't have what I need. Give 'em a shout and ask for Brad. http://www.berger-bros.com/ >> Stay informed about: QUESTION: What's the 'rep' like for New York City camera s..

'Nuf said. This thread, and others like it, demonstrate the enormous advantage that a reputation for honesty confers on a retail establishment in a competitive situation. It defies logic that so many business owners don't seem to understand this. Bob >> Stay informed about: QUESTION: What's the 'rep' like for New York City camera s..
