lumix fz20

[junji98]

my wife and i have finally decided to upgrade our camera and after much research, we have picked the lumix fz20. we wanted the nikon 8800, but it was just way over budget. we plan to buy the camera in NJ or NY. any suggestions as to where we can buy it? thanks!

i was going to buy mine at b&h but they were out of stock (they now have it in stock). i went to circuit city (80th and broadway) with a printout from b&h's website, with the camera added to my shopping cart, showing 499. since cc's price was 569, and they have a price matching policy, i paid 492 (499 - 10% of the difference). i bought it 2 days ago and have been playing since, but since i haven't yet bought a big sd card, i'm limited to 6 shots before i load on the pc. buying the big card, a bag, and a spare battery tomorrow at b&h (34th and 9th or 10th).

cc only matches bricks, not clicks. since b&h is both, this worked fine.

all in all, i would go to b&h if you want advice. the cc folks aren't all that knowledgable. the only reason cc might be better is if you might POSSIBLY want to return it, my gut feel (i have no actual basis to say this) is that you would have an easier time at cc as long as you have the receipt and put the camera and stuff back in the box.

enojoy!
