I just bought from B&H. I got a great deal and they shipped fast. I'd recommend them.

B&H is very well known for "Grey Market" cameras. What this means is, they by the stuff cheap that is intended for overseas markets. Sure, you get a good price (If they don't jack it up on you with taxes and extras), but there is no warranty.

Hmmm...I just bought a "slightly" used camera from them, paid no tax, paid no extras, and got a 90 day warranty.
I think they maybe used to do that,,,, my Nikon I got from them a couple years ago had a manufacturers warranty and the lenses I bought used years ago, 35mm,,,, were exactly as advertised,,,, I'm just saying,,,,
I have had great service from B&H for years. Just bought my granddaughter a Nikon for Christmas and got a two year warranty with it.

B&H may have changed, it's been 9 years since I was doing video production. But they were among a few very unscrupulous dealers in the Big Apple, that were regularly discussed on several video forums. When we moved up here to the woods, I sort of retired out of the video biz, and as a result, stopped hanging out in the video forums. I honestly couldn't say what is new in the field.

I stocked an entire photography studio from there with out any problems ....
Even though I closed it down .... I still buy "camera stuff" from them ...

It seems I was in fact mistaken. It wasn't B&H that I was thinking of, but Broadway Photo. Sorry for any confusion on my part.

I couldn't disagree any more, I spend quite a bit of money at B&H every year and have for 10+ years. Their customer service and selection are both fantastic and prices are good to average. They do also offer grey market items for a slightly better price but if you can read you know that and can't complain about it. Overall an A+ company!!
