Canon 17-55 Amazon or Adorama?

[Sean Setters]

Adorama is a fine retailer. They're probably my second favorite photography gear source after B&H. Just dropped about $350 at Adorama in the past 24 hours, actually.


I've had to return one product to Adorama simply because the quality of the item was not very good, but that wasn't Adorama's fault. I have no problem recommending them.

I would suggest one thing, and that is make sure you use the links from this site (the review page for the 17-55) to navigate to Amazon or Adorama. That way Bryan gets credit for the sale referral, which reinforces the need for that retailer to keep advertising here, thus providing revenue for our free and happy little enthusiastforum!

That is a good idea....

Also, don't forget to use Microsoft Live Search before heading over to Adorama or B&H since you get 3% cash back at Adorama and 2-3% at B&H from Microsoft when you enter those sites via Live Search. I don't know if it works for Amazon or not. The cash back will not show up in your purchase at the Dealer, but will show in your Live account at Microsoft. You can head over to the link below to learn more or sign up for it and it can really be of use on these larger purchases.

I consur that Adorama is first rate. Most of my transactions are quick and painless, but what sets Adorama apart ishow the handle the occasional hiccup. I bought a usedCanon body for my daughter last year and before it was shipped I got a call from the used department letting me know theyhad preformedsome testing and weren't completely satisfied with the operation of the body. I recommend them over-and-over due to the quality of the used equipment and the huge refurbished list.
