Recommendations for Online Sellers

Hey, I'm looking to purchase a digital SLR, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for some cheap but reliable online vendors.

Thanks!

Amazon.com is very competitive, but

I'm not sure what you think 'cheap' is.

Online Sellers

If you are looking for a DSLR camera that costs $1,500 and above, you will not find any cheap online sellers. At the very best, you could find it for $100 off. If you see one advertised for less than that, beware.

The more popular and lower priced DSLR cameras can be found at good discounts. And you can find them advertised by "bait and switch" outfits.

www.bhphotovideo.com has the largest stock of camera equipment. Advanced photographers like them.

I favor www.newegg.com because they have good prices and fast delivery at reasonable shipping costs.

Many people like www.amazon.com

................

If you find a camera at a bargain price and are not familiar with the on-line company, do a Google search for the name of that company followed by the word "review". That usually uncovers the bad sellers.

If the company is in Brooklyn, NY or you can not find the location of the company...........run away quickly.

If you find your camera advertised at a super cheap price........run away real fast.

Overstock

My daughter-in-law bought a point-and-shoot digital camera on my recommendation from Overstock.com. They have a lot of reconditioned cameras and a couple of SLRs.

I believe they are reliable and their shipping charges are very reasonable. I have never bought a camera from them however, because they didn't have the particular model I wanted. Ebay is my usual source but I am very familiar with ebay and wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wasn't a savvy ebay buyer.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
