Camera shopping on the Web

[Hanspleasure]

Okay, so for buying vintage razors I think Ebay is great.. but when it comes to purchasing a new digital camera, I think I'll avoid Ebay.
So.. which places have you shopped on the web for a camera and have had good success and trust? I've had luck with B & H photo but would like to have a few more options too. Thanks for any info.

Adorama has similar selection, service, and prices to B&H.

For used gear you can't beat KEH.com, and I believe that they may have new equipment now as well. Very good customer service, easy exchange/return if there is a problem, great to deal with all around. B&H, Adormama, and Calumet are all reliable vendors, but I have no experience with returns/exchanges with them so I can't comment on that, but they all ship quickly and reliably in my experience.

I only buy cameras online if I have a good feel for the camera in advance, but that's just me. I prefer to buy in person, where I can at least try the camera in the store, if not take it out for a week or two for real-world use before committing hard earned cash. Check on the warranty of anything that is not labeled 'USA' - not all grey market goods are covered under the factory warranty. Some are and some are not so best to be safe and verify before buying a lower cost camera that is grey market from the online vendors.

B&H, Adoram, and KEH. Those are the only ones I use.

I once bought an old Rollei TLR from KEH that was so conservatively graded, I couldn't believe it. Another company would have called it mint. They are very reputable for used equipment.

Newegg has great reviews, powerful search options, lots of variety to choose from, and often has sales or deals. They ship pretty quickly too!
