Stores are good for looking and familiarization, but buy off craigslist or ebay, not from a store. That way you can sell it back for what you paid when you decide you want to upgrade or get bored. I buy and sell cameras all the time, mostly DSLRs but also medium format and rarely LWIR. Lots of great deals, just take your time and test before you buy--only issue I've ever had out of dozens of cameras I've bought from CL was an autofocus lens with broken iris that I didn't find out about because I didn't take my time and try to change it..it was still a good deal though because the price was right and I fixed it. If you buy on ebay you're fine, they're a bunch of assholes willing to screw the seller every time over the tiniest possible issues to keep the buyer happy.
