tammy__ Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm browsing for online dealers to buy a canon flash 580, but I'm wondering if there are any recommended places for quality and good return policies, not to mention the places to stay away from... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frolickingbits Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 bhphotovideo.com is my absolute favorite-they ship very quickly, and usually have the lowest reputable price out there.I haven't had much luck with Adorama (I ordered 8 items, 6 were backordered (they don't tell you they don't have the item in stock until after you've given them your credit card info), 6 weeks later I still didn't have everything I had ordered), would avoid Ritz, and pretty much any shop out of Brooklyn. The old adage 'if it's too good to be true, it probably is' is very true here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_shearman1 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 www.bhphotovideo.com really has become the de facto national supply house. No offense to other on line dealers and local stores but B&H has everything, has it in stock (if anybody does), has it at the best price, has the best customer service, has the best web site and ships the quickest. I rarely buy anything photographic anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martial_baribault1 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Like the others B&H has great Service & Price & STOCK. Calumet is Great too but bigger numbers on sticker. Adorama has none of the qualities aforementioned and sometimes includes omission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammy__ Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 So far, I found a the 580 canon flash on amazon to be the best deal compared to b&h, and west photo in mpls, plus it has 30 day return policy (if its from the Amazon store), no taxes, no shipping. Any comments on Amazon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.W. Wall Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Of course, B&H is excellent. I've also had good luck with KEH and usually Adorama. You could also check the reseller ratings (community section here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
