I am able to judge camera shops having worked at Willoughby's back in the late 60s while in High School and college. Commercial photography just did not allow me to keep body and soul together. Over the years I have shopped in many places finally settling on Adorama because a chap with whom I worked at Willoughby's worked there. In any event, when they did not propose a "fair deal" on a trade -in and really weren't truthful (face to face) with me, I went to B&H and haven't looked back. I needed a copy of a sales slip for a warranty repair, and it was emailed to me eo instante- their prices are low and fair. Their trade-ins are not great but higher than Adorama. Finally, being that they are NOT on commission (we were at the big W), they take their time when working with you. Now I am not speaking of mail order, I have the privilege of being in New York and can see them- but I find them a good establishment and recommend them highly. They are worth a visit just to look at their "system" of handling customers. A series of overhead baskets move items from one place to another- absolutely ingenious. vroger
