I use B&H - mostly because they're competitive and have shipping to Canada sorted out. I've used Adorama too - they're as good but shipping to this side of the border is slow or expensive (and sometimes it's both.)

Both are very good, no-nonsense companies to deal with.

If you don't want to return something, you might also look at Aden Camera - they're based in Toronto and are frequently less expensive than either B&H or Adorama... however sales there are final and you'd be paying for cross border shipping (and possibly some taxes too.)


Several cameras and more glass than I will admit to.

I've purchased from B&H, Adorama, Amazon.com, Beach and Abe's of Maine (slightly annoying upsell call) with satisfactory results.

I've purchased from Adorama, Amazon, and from this forum. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from any of them again.

Just made my first purchase from Adorama a few minutes ago. Anxious to see how fast they ship but liked the site for online ordering.

:lol::lol: Hahaha..at least the shipping is free! :D

As noisejammer stated,(for Canada).. B&H is hard to beat; fast, cheap shipping, no hassles, and great prices.

You will most likely see it shipped and be given a tracking number today. When I ordered my camera from them, I called at roughly 4pm and had a tracking number within a matter of hours.
