Think of Disneyland for photo buffs and you might be on the right track. B&H is a block wide and stacked high with every new and exciting gadget, and gizmo known to man. And their prices ain't that bad - despite the glitz and more sales people than most camera stores have customers. One surprise, despite the size, you can get good service and good advice. This was not always true (years ago I heard a salesman tell a client - go to Ken Hansen and ask your questions, come here for the best price). But that has changed. My favorite guys are Stephan (a good photographer in his own right) and Carlos (Ferrari fan extroadinare). Both have knowledge that will guide you toward an intelligent purchase. Even if the store didn't have good prices, the advice from these gentlemen would be worth a premium price. You can buy from their web site but visiting the store is the only way to understand what the B&H juggernaut is all about.
