Is This A Good Place To Purchase From?

I am checking prices on the Fuji F-10 and this site has the better price. Does anyone know if they are reputable to buy from?

Judy-

Perhaps someone who lives in the UK can answer. I hope you too live in the UK.

Nope, I live in South Carolina. But their prices are like $100 cheaper than any place around here.

$420 US dollars before shipping...
I think you can do better buying it here...

You do realize that the prices they quote are in British pounds, not American dollars, which would bring the price to ~$420 without shipping.

B&H Photo has the same camera for $324 + shipping.

Circuit City for $352 + shipping if needed.

Use the shopping bots. I tried to buy my PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-FZ5 from amphotoworld because they were the cheapest. Then I waited about a week. I called asking where it was, and was given a sales talk saying if I paid $50 more I could get it shipped right away as that would be a "store item in the original box" blah, blah... So I cancelled the order and got it from butterflyphoto who said it would ship the next day with the regular US warranty, etc. Amphoto said the cam was a gray market product, with no US warranty, and if I really wanted it, I'd have to wait. It appears some may artificially use lower prices on the bots to get suckers, and if you don't bite, they don't ship. I must admit I did go for the extra battery at $39 that butterflyphoto said I really needed because the battery that comes with the camera wasn't all that good. My fault.

Thanks Guys,
I think I'll just drive over to Best Buy or Circuit City here in the next town and buy it there.

Going from cheapest to most expensive?

I don't know how you figure that, since both Best Buy and Circuit City have the same camera for less than the website Judy listed.
