Am going to be in NYC fist week of October and was wondering which would be the best place to pick up a 20D camera, body only? I will definitely visit the mecca of photography, the B&H store but was wondering if there are any other reliable stores to pick up the camera in case it isn't in stock at B&H and also if it is available elsewhere at a lower price.

Thanks for the information.

Cheers.

I believe B&H will be closed for the first week in Oct (for Sukkos). In any case, I think they are out of stock of the 20D.

Other stores you may try your luck at:
  • Adorama
  • J&R
  • K&M
Good luck.

Thanks Kevin, that is a bummer if B&H are closed just when I am in NYC. Thanks for the other stores, will check on the net for their addresses and locations. Hope they have the 20D in stock.

Cheers.

I went into the city to experience B&H some time ago (mid spring)
It certainly was something!
As B&H is out of stock, I just ordered from 17th Street Photo,

(they also have the bg in stock). Placed my order via phone, the cs rep was a pleasure to talk to. Should have the goods today.
At any rate, consider a visit to their shop.

Top of the list for service ratings and has good inventories most of the time.

Note that if you buy in the store, and take the camera with you, you will pay NY state and city sales taxes. Not positive, but I think they total somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 to 10%. On a $1500 purchase, that's a lot of scratch.

Financially, you'd be better off to order and have it shipped. Some stores will let you buy in the store and then ship it to you out of state to avoid the sales tax, but if you're going to have it shipped why wait until you get to NY to place an order?
 
Try 17th Street Photo, I order from them all the time and they are fast and I have never had a problem with them. I think they have the 20D Kit with the 17-55 lens in stock.

This is true. If you purchase from NY you will be hit with a 8.25% tax. Having it shipped from a different state is a possibility, however, you may encounter problems if you want to ship to a hotel (I assume you are coming from overseas) or if you are using a non-US credit card while ordering over the phone (extra security checks etc).
