This website saved me from purchasing a camera from a seedy place in Brooklyn know to be an up-and-running scam-business.

I am looking for a Nikon D50. USA has it for $410, but that is really low compared to everyone else...bait & switch I would imagine.

Would you recommend an online place to get the best price on a Nikon D50?
Thanks

by rdoan76 - 7/24/06 1:09 PM In reply to: Recommend? by LASON1I would recommend going to either:
www.adorama.com
www.bhphotovideo.com
www.tristatecamera.com
All three of these are authorized Nikon resellers. I have purcased from Adorama and B&H and have had good experiences. I think Adorama charges less for shipping than B&H does.

You are not going to find a bargain price on the D50.
It is a hot seller and the dealers are keeping the price steady.
If you see it advertised at a low price.....be very suspicious.
You have to investigate each price, because some prices include starter lens and some do not.
The places mentioned by rdoan76 are all reliable sources.

Yeah, it seems to be pretty consistent throughtout the "reputable" dealers. Currently BestBuy has it on sale for $664, other than that its anywhere from $675 - $700 and up. Thanks for the help. Do you think there might be sales for Labor Day?

Like the one person said Adorama is very reliable I have done thousands of dollars with them never one problem they are very good to deal with. When you order from adorama you get exactly what you ordered and noyhing else. Stay away from prestige camera [I found out the hard hard] which there company has seven different names I ordered an FZ-30 through prestige and got grey market call them up and was told worry we will fix it if it breaks. I called panasonic and if it grey market they will not even touch it if you want to pay for it.As far as I am concerned adorama is by far the number one store for me. B&H is supposed to be good also Ritz camera another. Here is a link below check out Usaphotonation. also if dealing with camera stores from New york here is a link to check them out also listed below.

Please DO NOT purchase from USA Photo Nation!!!!!!!
by albertorizo - 7/24/06 3:27 PM In reply to: Anyone purchased from USAPhotoNation.com?? by LASON1Like the previous poster said...RUN! Learn from my mistake!!! I usually purchase only from CNET listed stores but I got caught up with a salesperson when I called to check on usa photo's price on the rebel xt. The price listed was body only, no supporting accessories. When I "upgraded" to the body with incl accessories price went up. Salesperson also lied to me to sell me an add'l charger. I didn't take the time to do my research and got swindled! Purchased $119 rapid charger along with a 4 hr battery...found same items online for $14.95 and $18.95. They don't give brand name so you don't know what you are getting until you open the box. On top of it all, 3 days after my purchase my credit card company called and said that 3 attempts of fraud had been attempted on my card. HMMM....wonder how that happen!! These guys bait and switch, lie to sell product and refuse to take items back. They price as a pkg without telling you and then say you can only return as a pkg and pay 15% restocking fee. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!
Don't even think about it
