Is this a good digital camera?

I waited a half hour on the "wait to talk to a salesperson at the counter" line, and when I asked for a comparison between two cameras, he left them in front of me w/o batteries and disappeared. Then again, J&R and a lot of other places don't treat younger guys well either. Me and a buddy were refused service at J&R once because the salesperson didn't believe we were actually going to buy something and so he didn't want to waste time on us.

Anyways, unless you're an 18 yr old younger male shopping solo, B&H is quite possibly the most reputable and well stocked photo supply retailer in the country. I too received their catalog and it's about an inch thick. Their service is great and atypical of privately owned photo shops since most places try to push accessories and add-ons towards customers. Their pricing is typically slightly better than the average street price too.

At B&H I find that they can very rude. I have been in there once or twice, but then again they do have very good prices.

I thought that a while ago NYC was voted one of the politest cities in the world.

I don't think NYC is rude at all, it just moves at a faster pace than everywhere else.

Then again, if every city had a rude population of 5%, and NYC had a rude population of 1%, there would still be a whole lotta rude people.
