#1 Any store that is close to you and doesn't involve a lot of expense travelling to it and will match or come close to an on line retailers price.

#2 Any of the Ausphotography online retailer advertisers have a very good reputation.

#3. None!!! Total waste of time and money.

Hello there and Welcome to AP. Very good advice what Andrew wrote above.
The first thing you should do is go into a store and try this model camera out for size in your hand.
You would probably be surprised at how different the models feel, and if you are happy with it then you are on your way
