Photography Equipment
Is Abe’s of Maine a trusty source for buying photography equipment?
I am planning to purchase their package which includes a Canon rebel XS with two lenses and a bunch of other stuff. But many of their reviews say they aren’t friendly. The other reviews however, are excellent…
Anybody tried them?
No, I have not tried them, and will not. There are good reviews, … and quite a lot of bad reviews. You can usually figure for every one bad review that one person bothers to write, there are likely many, many more people who never speak up, or don’t know of the site, or whatever. Sometimes the less than honest sellers will also post bogus good reviews to sites such as Reseller Ratings.

When in doubt, don’t do it.
There are two sources where you NEVER have to worry. B-H and Adorama. Also, Porters is excellent, though their prices are higher.
I suggest you only order from any of the 3 vendors above and you will be assured of no problems.
