Where would you buy a Nikon D7000 and 18-200mm lens in Portland, Oregon?
I see some promising places but want to check up on reputations a little bit more. There seems to be at least a half a dozen places or more for this. I just want to know which ones are recommended - nice sales people, etc.
Randy: Actually the price difference is pretty much nonexistent for retail sales and online sales on highly in demand Nikon camera bodies. Due to the extreme complexity of these cameras I think buying from a local dealer makes more sense anyway and Oregon doesn't have any sales tax. I will still buy some gear online, but in this particular case the price difference is so small as to be insignificant - less than $5, believe it or not. I do know about B&H Photo (like them) and Adorama, etc., but in this case "going local" just makes more sense to me. If the camera does malfunction I can take it to a local dealer. If I buy it from a NY dealer I have to ship it 6,000 miles round trip to have it serviced and do without it for who knows how long. A local dealer might give me a loaner to use and that is NOT going to happen with an online dealer. Thanks Randy!
