Does any one know if this store can be trusted?

Prices seem to be really good. SB-910 $429, D800 $2,579m etc.

The website indicates that all items are new and with USA warranty.

Thanks.

Looking at their rating on Reseller's they look good, but after analyzing the reviews I have serious doubts about their integrity. Seems they have a propensity for the "upsell scam". Also a number of those good reviews look phony. Perhaps 42nd Street Photo is seeding their rating. Why don't you stick with B&H.

Beach Camera is in New Jersey and still shows the $200 discount price, so $2796. I've bought from them in the past and found them trustworthy. If/when I bend my financial calculations enough to go for the D800 I'll be getting it from there. I believe they have an actual store too.

Recently bought a Canon S110 from them. Price was good, but I needed 3 day shipping which was expensive. Then, there was damage to the item during shipment and it was returned by UPS to them. To 42nd street credit, they sent it out again 2nd day air and it got to me in plenty of time. When it arrived, the box was beat up, but the camera is fine and appears undamaged. I will probably use BH from now on as they have a perfect record by me.

Yes, Beach Camera has an actual store in Green Brook, NJ off of Route 22.

I remember them when I was in high school and i am going to my 40th year reunion. They are pushy and abrupt on the phone. They expect you to know what you want, and not ask questions. They probably take calls one after the other, so they are not patient. But they have always been honest AFAIK. They will try and upsell, but thats their business, just be firm and refuse the upsell. They are not a fly by night, some one mentioned they a re not authorised Nikon, thats possibe, but they are a pretty good size company with a long history, it may be wise to ask.

I bought a "white bow" SONY lens from them and it was a perfect experience. Nobody tried to sell me stuff I didn't want, the lens arrived quickly, was well packed and in perfect condition. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

Here is the thread I started when I was in your situation:
