I heard good things about Best Price Video. However, I sent them $2 for their "catalog", only to receive a laundry-list of available equipment, but no prices! What kind of catalog is that? Also, friends have only good things to say about Labelle of Maine for photo gear - they also carry video stuff. Regarding the comment about 47th St. Photo being able to sell things below cost (though the reason was truncated from the message I recieved), this reminds me of the old joke "Sure, we lose $10 on every sale, but we make it up in volume!"
