I already have one that I use when I was doing mail-order before there was
even an internet.

Typically the best place to buy any consumer electronics---digicam, flat
panel display of any type, you-name-it----is from the high-volume places
they have in New York City. It was true 20, 30, 40 years ago, and it seems
true today. No California sales tax (which gets more outrageous with each
change in the Legislature), and typically free shipping on many
orders...even free next-day air on purchases of a certain amount. That's
what I like about them.

I want to know what your favorite online electronics retailer is (and I bet
they are located in New York City). I want to feel satisfied that I am
dealing with the best and most inexpensive.

amazon.com
buy.com
ecost.com

I live in NJ so I have no idea what these companies do with California
sales tax.

I have been very happy with newegg.com. They have a very good
reputation among online buyers.

And they're in California, not New York.

For cameras, bhphotovideo.com is one of the few New York places I have
and will use. There are a couple of others that are known to be
trustworthy, but many are not. Always check resellerratings.com first.
