Where to buy a camera in Rhode Island/Boston?

Hi,

I'm going to Rhode Island from overseas, and I'm spending seven weeks there. I was planning to buy a Nikon D80, and then I realized that I have no idea what the different prices are like. I went on the NikonUSA website, and I found where they sell their cameras in Rhode Island, but I was just wondering whether anyone knows a good store in Boston (I'll be going there to visit my brother and colleges..) or Rhode Island.

Thanks,

Samah.

I've done mail order from Hunts Photo and Video. They were good via mail (though not all their prices are the best), but they are a family owned business, and I'd recommend them from my experience.

ETA: And they have a good rating on Resellerratings.com, though not many customer reports. (I guess I should fill one out to help!)

Hunt's are very knowledgeable and friendly, in my experience, so I second that recommendation. I buy from Orleans Camera on the Cape, but their prices are not especially low and they are out of your way anyhow, so... I buy from them 'cuz they are good people and I like having a dealer to go to with any problems.

I'm actually going to a six week program at the Rhode Island School of Design in photography (traditional though, not digital.). I'm planning on applying to Brown next year though! Maybe I'll end up meeting your daughter. :).
