Where to buy from (or avoid) with my new digital camera?

After a long time faffing about I am ready to buy my next digital camera (Panasonic FZ28) and see all of the above have good prices.

Does anyone have any recommendations, or not, for any of these, or any other I have missed?

    I've not heard of any of these before.....just out of interest why did you choose these over the bigger names such as Amazon, Play or Warehouse Express?
  • I've heard bad things about Camerabox

    Other places - Jessops (when price matched against other places)

    I will look at Play and Warehouse Express but Amazon too dear. And bad expeiences more than once with them.

    By the way are Play and Warehouse Express good to deal with?

    I've always found Play to be excellent and WE have a very good reputation.

    I recently bought from ukdigitalcameras as did a friend of mine.

    The camera I wanted was also cheaper than anywhere else. Infact, I order extra bits and the cost in total was the same price as the camera alone in other places.
