Where can you get the best price? If you're getting the authorized
equipment you'll get the 3-year no-fault warranty. I've had good Luck with
Don Chatterton, Jim Keuhl and some of the other biggies in Shutterbug, but
again, if it's new go for the best price.

If you want to do discreet work get black. Bresson would use black tape
over his Leicas to help make them less visible. I've used my black Leicas
for several years and they hold up very well.

Have fun!
