I'd suggest checking out Pricegrabber.com. Do a search for the item you wish to purchase. Chances are that both Adorama and B&H - and their prices, shipping charges and customer reviews will be listed. This will give you an opportunity to compare the two. I've purchased from both, but I use B&H more often because of their thorough, well laid out website. In purchasing online, the first consideration always must be peace of mind. If you can place a dollar value on that, compare it to the cost savings offered by Adorama. If you remain concerned, go with B&H. It has one of the best reps online.
