Best place to purchase (USA)

[DivotMaker]

(I would swear I have seen threads about this, but I have searched and searched and cant seem to locate any)

I am looking at a SB-900 and have found B&H to be the lowest pricing.

But I am wondering if there are better sites, places to purchase equipment from?

You might find a random sale somewhere else, but to my knowledge, B&H is the best place to go.

B&H is reliable, which is important.
Do not deceide to buy anything from a 'cheap' online shop unless you have read this advice about online photography scams:

People are still falling for these every day!

The SB900 is pretty new and is probably priced by the top vendors at about the same pricing...give or take a few bucks. You won't go wrong using companies like B&H and Adorama. I would seriously shy away if it were priced much much lower elsewhere...it's probably a bait and switch, or bundled with something you don't want or need, or you just may never get it.

Thanks, great advice I was considering. Wouldnt even think of getting something like this from anyone/anywhere without some kind of reputation.

Just wanting to make sure I am covering all my bases.

Been trying to give my local guy most of my business, but he is 40.00 higher on this and I am finding that hard to justify.

Thanks again.
