What is the best webstore to purchase a Canon 40D?

Question

Im looking at getting a Canon 40D but I don't want to pay a lot because of profit margins.

I want one that comes with the lens kit, and I don't mind used, but I will not use ebay.

I've looked at Best Buy ($1,299.99) , Circuit City ($1,199.99) and B&H (1,139.95). No I don't remember what lens they were advertising these prices with.

If anyone knows of a location where I can purchase this camera ONLINE that is cheaper that B&H please let me know =]

Thank you bunches!

Answer 1

So you want to pay as little as possible for that camera.

How do you think they pay to keep the store running?

This is like wanting to pay $99 to fly from New York to LA.

So very sorry. That was rude of me. I really have no excuse for jumping all over you like that.

To answer your question--if you bought it from a store that is in another state, for example, B&H Photovideo in New York and have it shipped to you (wherever you are)--you won't have to pay the sale tax. It may costs $20 or so (I have not checked) for shipping.

There is a store in Los Angeles called Canoga Camera which has really good service for walk-in customers, and they do mail order, too. I don't know if it costs less than others. http://www.canogacamera.com

I don't think I am comfortable buying a camera of that level from a store that sells other things, i.e. Best Buy. I am not worried about their return-policy--but rather, they're not a camera store and if you were to buy it in person, they may not be able to answer your question as well as you hope a camera-only store would be able to.

Hope I am a bit more helpful this time.

Adorama has a nice variety of prices. There are no better options out there than B&H or Adorama. make sure that you get on that is not from a "gray market" dealer. These products are unreliable.
