Hey everyone--Quick question about online retailers. I'm buying a DVX 100 and found the lowest two prices at etronics.com (3149) and ephotoclub.com (3129). I checked out both company's ratings on bizrate.com and etronics got a little bit better reviews, so I'm planning on ordering from them. Is this a good idea? I know b&h is more reputable, but their lowest is 3399 and the lowest I can get from a local store is 3299. SO even with shipping I'm saving my self a $100 by buying online. I just want to make sure I'm not getting grey market or otherwise unwarranteed gear. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

This is a good site for ratings:

http://www.resellerratings.com

Yeah, resellerratings is the best place to check the reliability of these online guys. www.bhphotovideo.com (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/?BI=155) is by far the best i've (or anyone else) have ever dealt with...and i'm sure many people here will tell you the same thing.. www.onecall.com and www.buydig.com are also good ones that I can recommend...check out resellerratings for others.

thanks guys. I checked out those retailers and the ratings were less than stellar, so I may stick with the local dealer--$100 buys a little piece of mind. Thanks for the suggestions!

I bought from one of the sponsors to this forum, Zotz Digital:

very happy with them.

Same here, excellent service at Zotz Digital. Give them a call.

If you buy from one of this forum's sponsors, you have the peace of mind knowing that you will have a good purchase experience. Plus you give support back to the forum in a round about way.

Looks like I may buy from Zotz Digital then. Plus they are in my home state of Oregon. Thanks again for the advice everyone!
