I've used Adorama numerous times to purchase binoculars, tripod,
cameras, film and accessories. Their prices are good and delivery is
swift, but don't expect much help from the folks on the phone. They're
in a hurry and want to take orders, not answer questions, at least not
at their 1-800 number. If you know exactly what you want to buy, I would
recommend Adorama highly.
