Where to buy a Panasonic Fz15

[bullfrog99]

I have decided that I wish to purhcace my first digital camera, and after much debating and research, I beleive the Panasonic DMC Fz-15 is the one I'm after. I had hoped to buy it in a physical store, but I cannot find any in my area which sells one. I would prefer to write a check, rather then use a credit card to buy this camera, but all I found online (besides excellent prices-NiceElectronics, MP, etc.) are stores which seem to only take credit cards. If I am doomed to pull out the ol' Master Card, I want to make sure the place I buy from is reputable. For those of you who have purchaced cameras online, do you have any recomendations?
