I just ordered an Olympus XA outfit from Focus, Inc. in Brooklyn and
have been completely satisfied.  Their price was $100 as opposed to $170
in the local camera discount store here in Boulder, CO.
They said it was in stock, I asked for UPS Blue label delivery and it
got here in 4 days.  It's even a domestic model (non gray-market), with the
manufacturer's warranty.  I'm happy...

Just wanted to make a positive note w/ all this activity about these
mail order shops.  I'm sure there is plenty of incompetence in this business
just like many American firms (maybe even mine and *yours*), but this time
everything seemed to have worked correctly.  Besides, I enjoyed a few words of
Yiddish with a shop from "back east."
