Adorama is nice, but I miss the logical searching/shopping of B&H

[Scott Stephen]

Oh well.

I will agree that the Adorama site (in its current form August - 2012) is not as intuitive or user-friendly as the B&H site. Adorama has gone through a couple of site refreshes in the last few years, and each has brought improvements (and small, isolated steps backwards, in my opinion). Generally, though, it gets better with time.

The change from B&H to Adorama resulted from B&H no longer recognizing the advertising revenue generated from the site because of a state sales tax law reinterpretation in Bryan's home state (at least, that's the simple version). It was a mess. *Bryan went through great lengths to rectify the situation, but he was unable to smooth things out with B&H; the switch to Adorama was long over-due, at least from a fiscal standpoint.

Bryan works hard to bring us the most comprehensive and reliable review information for Canon products that's out there. *If you find his hard work useful when making a purchasing decision, then I'm sure he would appreciate you using Adorama to support the site even if it comes at a slight inconvenience in user-friendliess.

What the OP points out is so true. Adorama's site is a pain. It is hard to make comparison, half the time it seems I do multiple searches to find things.

Maybe Helen will read this and relay it to the powers that be at Adorama. A little tough love, Adorama is loosing sales because of this.

Sean, one question, if we go with other stores like eBay or Amazon by using TDP'Link, are they some for Bryan or Adaroma is better for him?thanks.

I agree with all the comments but its great to have Maybe Helen as a member here. She has been very helpful to many here and I am sure will continue to be. Hope our loyalty will prompt some help with the website

If you use the links on the site, you're supporting the site--whether it's Adorama, eBay, or Amazon.

Helen,
It is not that we cannot find things on the Adorama website. The filters that B&H have are nice like setting it to show only "L" series lenses for those of us with "L" disease
It just makes it a little more user friendly

[shutterdown]

I have no problem navigating Adorama's site. It's very user friendly, IMO. Just did a search for CF cards, and it brought me right to where I needed to be.

They're not losing sales because of me, that's for sure.
