Camera Store in Boston needed?

Carrera RSR · 01-21-2009, 03:11 PM

Can anyone recommend a good camera store in Boston. A friend of mine is there this week and I'm looking to see if there is a better deal for a Nikon D90 in the US than here in the UK. Most retailers are out of stock in the UK and Nikon are about to release their 2009 stock with a 20% plus price increase!!!

Tell him to find a circuit city ....they all closing down (going under)
The discounts (I was there 2 days ago) for electronics are only 10% as of now....tell him to check it out as discounts will go higher
there are alot of big chains (best buy, radio shack, dell, even Apple) that carry these cameras...check them out

For online in USA....check out B&H
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/
very good prices

whats the exchange rate now???

Thanks for that. I hadn't considered Circuit City. Had looked at B&H but their prices were unusually high with the current weak £ exchange rate, currently around $1.40 to £1. They also wouldn't ship to Boston with a UK credit card due to fraud issues.

Best UK price currently £621 at a tax free airport. Or £750 in the stores. Nikon have just placed a 20% price increase in the UK. Canon and Sony to follow.

Your £621 is pretty good....There isn't a better price for any B&M stores
You might find something a little cheaper online, but shipping fees will cost alot....IMO

Best chance is that circuit city will have some kind of liquidation sale

I only get my gear at B&H or at these local stores:

Many thanks for your recommendations. Having bought a lot of video kit from B&H over the last two years due to US prices being far lower than the UK. It now looks like US prices are now on par or most cases more expensive. What a difference a year makes. Looks like I'll purchase here. Thanks again
