I must eat some of my words now as I have bought something namely a new camera a Canon G12 with a 8g 20meg/sec card.
I tried so hard to buy local, tried 3 different shops and it wasn't so much the price but the service and attitude that made me feel they don't deserve my business.
I asked for a handle of the camera to see ergonomics and have a fiddle with controls.
I got nasty look and to ask a battery be inserted to have a go at menu etc.
I than asked for a nice camera case, or something even old school like and they said " I have some upstairs, they are Canon and probably too expensive".
Too ****ing hard more like it!
I often said on here to buy local and support the economy, now look at me.
I bought overseas also and glad because it not only saved me plenty of $$ but their service was excellent.
