When a friend asks me where to buy a camera, I size them up, and generally reply to go two one of two local stores, and explain that they will recieve a high degree of "hand-holding" by a likeable knowlegable gentleman when things don't go well. The ones that do, and don't just drive to Best Buy, are invarialbly satisfied and not sad that they paid just a bit more.
