Unless they have changed completely, it is very easy to buy camera only
at the listed price. I bought my CCWMNBM from them. The guy gave me no
trouble at all about not buying all the extras. He did ask why I wasn't
buying a CF card. I pointed out it was significantly cheaper at B&H and
he happily met their price, so I bought camera and card from them.
Friendly, helpful salesman, best price and immediate shipping, what's
not to like? This was just one data point, of course, but they were not
one of those Brooklyn places that essentially force you to buy a lot of
overpriced extras.
In the end, they actually helped me. I was going to buy a Lexar 1gb card
and they only had Sandisk. It turned out the Sandisk was a better card,
equal write and much faster read times.
