<x-charset ks_c_5601-1987>Hi Mac How are you? Hope you're doing fine
Did you get to use the Nikon 8700? I am *very* tempted to get the 8800, but I would like your opinion on the 8700 model if you don't mind. If you can I would appreciate receiving one of your photos with this camera please Thank you and best regards Alexei _________________ Perit Alexei Pace -----Original Message----- From: Alexei Pace - M.Architecture Ltd.

I dealt with BuyDig.com, but there are several companies which offer similar prices. Because I felt more comfortable that way, my order was placed over the phone, not via their website. I don't have any direct experience with ANY of these discounters. Good luck! Best wishes, Mac >Which seller did you use? >Are you from the US?
