Anyone have a trusted vendor ( local or O/S ) ?

He's actually pretty good, quick deliverys and not to bad prices.

Camera's are pretty cheap nowadays.......

I wouldn't like to loose money on a buy over the net just cause it was cheap, so deal with someone youv'e heard of at least....

Or check out places like BigW... etc... They appear to have all the popular brands at competitive prices...

One thing I wouldn't buy again is an outfront lens. I'll get something that fits in my pocket next time... I have to pack a bag to get the bloody TAGS :x
