B&H Photo Video
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I’m a bit surprised. I won the $500 years ago one time. I’ve actually been annoyed I haven’t won it again since but now I see I’m already lucky.
- B&H or Adorama are by far the best places for new gear.
- If you want to buy new in the US though, get stuff from B&H. Anything camera-related, get it from B&H. They are honestly amazing, and known for it.
- That’s why if you deal with used, you deal with dealers. MPB, KEH, B&H.
- I buy a ton from lensrentals, b&h, and locals
Cons
- I’ve done those surveys like 150 times. Never won shit.
- I have ordered gear from B&H for decades and always submit my reviews and web surveys for “a chance to win a $500 gift card.” Has anyone actually won this or know of someone who has, or am I just pissing in the wind?
- It is annoying that with a little more effort on B&Hs side they could have had a nice tight pack which as you have found, would have helped consumer confidence.
- All air bags deflated, no padding at all. It would be a miracle if 2 at least works

If you’re buying new online, stick with B&H or pop into your local Best Buy
