A few things to be cautious about: 1)Don't know where you live but some of these cameras offered online are so called "grey" market...in other words there is NO warranty. Also if you live in Europe (for example) and buy a USA camera...warranty is only valid in the USA. 2)I think it would be a lot easier to return the camera if necessary if it was purchased in a storefront type store. 3)Please try out (touch, feel, snap a few shots) with the camera you select BEFORE buying. A reputable shop should let you take a few test shots with it before taking it home. 4)Make sure that the shop has a seven or 10 day product return period. Good luck!
