The *usual* discount sources in NYC are,

B&H <www.bhphotvideo.com>

and

Adorama <www.adorama.com>

as listed in the Sources & Services section of Post-Factory Photography,
needless to say.

My advice would be to check the price of the *particular* items you want,
as in my experience, they can be very uneven, even within one make.
Sometimes bargains & sometimes almost list price.

But if you know exactly what you want, you might do better yet to buy from
a strictly web-page source & have it shipped to someone or other here so
you don't have to cope with the stores, which can be hellacious,
especially on jet lag....
