But if you don't know what you're buying you need to be able to talk with
someone who is knowledgeable and willing to show you the camera. That takes
a face-to-face conversation. Kenmore Camera and Ken's are two places I know
of that give good, honest information. They also don't try to get you to
buy more features than you need.

Once the knowledge is gained and the camera has been chosen sure, take a
look at mail order.

Take care,
