L.T.
B&H Photo & Video has been around for years and we have ordered from them several times. Good prices and customer service. I have taken a few photography classes here and there and the instructors (many of them professional photography owners) have all recommended them too. BTW, Consumer Reports just came out with a new report on the best cameras--point & shoots & DSLRs, etc. so you might check that out too to help you narrow down the make & model (I know our library has copies of that magazine if you can't get your hands on a copy of your own). I believe it is the August issue--I was just looking at it over the weekend at a relative's house. Good luck!
