For a difference of 30 bucks between a local store and an unknown mail 
order place who will charge you shipping, and might send you grey market 
goods, the answer seems clear to me.  Spend you money in New England and 
help the local economy.  More important,  get a dealer who will give you a 
camera with a US warranty and show you how to use it, etc.  Getting the 
best *deal* is not just a matter of price.  How about checking some 
*camera* stores, in addition to consumer outlets. Deals, deals, deals.  
Why is it that the people who go for the lowest prices always whine the 
loudest on rec.photo?
