Jack, As several people on the list wrote, Buydig appears to have a good record. You can check photo.net community as well.
I personally purchased my DS, and a lens. My DS had to be sent back due to the problem with the buil-in flash, and I had no problem or hassle with the return and replacement. Although I had made quite several purchases from Adorama, my more recent experience with them was less than satisfying (they were misleading about product availability - both on their website and via the phone). That actually stopped me from purchasing my DS from them 3.5 years ago, and then subsequently some lenses. Note that BeachCamera is under the same management as BuyDig and also appears to have very reasonable record. Of course, you have to be alert with all low-margin mail-order companies, especially NY/NJ-based, including B&H. And the typical somewhat "rough" manner of the customer service-client relation typical to NYC appears rude to people living, say, in MidWest. BTW, while Amazon's rules (e.g. those related to product return) appear to be more liberal than those of the NYC photo retailers, if something goes off the track, their customer service is hard to deal with - it's a huge corporate machine.
