And if you ever get to NYC, definitely go to the store... it's amazing. Every conceivable piece of camera gear is in stock for you to play with. Want to check out the $30,000 Hassleblad digital back? Here it is..!
Each section (SLR, compact cameras, etc..) has a few DOZEN clerks who are for the most part all pretty knowledgeable about their gear. You wait for a few minutes, then get sent to one of them. Since there is no line behind you now, you can stay there for as long as you like trying things out.
The range of options is unbelievable. They must have about 200 different tripods out on the display floor. All sorts of pro equipment, etc... The place is massive.
And don't miss the Willy Wonka style tramway that runs along the ceiling. You pick stuff out at the individual clerks, they put it in the basket, it ends up ready for you when you check out.... very cool.
They are very observant, that's true... even their Web site doesn't take orders on Saturday!

They are probably the most legit site on the 'net.
I have spent probably close to six figures with them over the years and I would give them a 100% rating. Usually the best prices and you get what you order --no hassles.
If you have questions, they actually know what they are talking about. You can phone them if you don't want to order online or you need to ask questions first.

I just got a nice little starter package from them on cyber Monday and had it on Thursday. I would definitely buy from them again.

Wow thanks everyone....very positive feedback. Makes me feel alot better about ordering something there. The camera I was looking at is about $100 cheaper at B & H then it is at a local camera store I currently shop at. I thought maybe the site was a little too good to be true. Thank you again everyone for your comments.

Thanks to everyone here for your very kind words. This is very gratifying and much appreciated.
@SavetheSharks - you may want to know about Resellerratings.com which is among the most reliable site of its kind.
BTW, this site is a B&H affiliate. If you use the link in my sig to go from here to our site and you place an order, the site benefits.

Always had good service from them. Their prices are generally retail, but they have good sales sometimes. You can get good deals on their "gray market" lenses and things that are non-US. Make sure you read the return policy and keep the product "new" if you decide to return it.
Made the first of many purchases from B&H in 1978 and have never had an issue. All 35 mm stuff to this point.
