I'm very much out of touch with suppliers.

If I'm looking for a Nikon D7100, who's going to take the least amount of pennies from me?

I've Googled around, but they seem to be pretty much the same. Only found Digital Rev below average. Are there any more out there, hiding in the woods?

I ordered from digital rev recently. Found them to be very good. Grey import as all of my previous cameras have been.

How do their prices look when you add on 20% VAT (and possibly import duty as well)?

Thanks. I only had a quick look at the site, didn't realise it was Hong Kongy.

Have a look at HDEW Cameras (http://www.hdewcameras.co.uk/). They sell grey stock, but from a UK address, will give you a VAT receipt and have a good reputation to boot.

I have always used Wexphotographic and Parkcameras. Great service from both, UK stock and good prices.

There's never any extra charge for stuff from DigitalRev and if there is they will fully refund it.

I bought quite a few expensive things from DigitalRev and wholeheartedly recommend them.

You don't need to add the extra 20%. That's completely covered by DigitalRev themselves.
The price you see really is the price you pay.

Bought my Canon 60D from them recently - as well as extra lenses, etc. - and was very happy with it all.

Also they do cover any warranty repair costs IN YOUR country, none of this shipping it back to HK, USA or wherever...

I can confirm that I paid the on line price and that is all when I ordered from digital rev. If you do get caught for vat etc they will refund. Warranty is either return to hk and they organise the courier or they pay for local repair. only thing that I would say is that the canon manual was in many languages that all looked like Chinese. As I have said, I have never purchased a camera in the UK.
