Theres almost always some sort of good deal on one brand or another. You could also conside buying off of ebay or amazon, just be careful of the fine print and who you are buying from so that you end up with a good camera. Also, don't be afraid to buy refurbished refurbished caemars have very high specifications taht they have to meet before being resold, so most are actually checked over more than a brand new one would be!
