I've decided that dealing with a store that is local to me is the best way. Nothing wrong with B&H, but I kinda like being able to deal with a real person rather than a voice on the telephone. Out of curiosity, when you buy a junk product from a place like B&H, do they pay the return shipping on the defective product, and then pay the reship out of their pocket or do they jack that onto the customer? Any savings you realize by buying from them would be eaten up awfully quickly if you have to pay three times for shipping to get one product that works.
