It is quickly becoming clear that the largest and best-known sites - including Amazon.com - are outpacing the pack in terms of growth in customers and sales, and the smaller players have little chance to get noticed. Most of the web shoppers I know use scamazon for their pretty pictures and reviews then hit a search engine for a few minutes to find the best price elsewhere. Compare, scamazon @ $499 amazon.com to web shop @ $329 theweb-shop.com $170 difference for the same product, sorry I'm not paying for scamazons overhead. I think the smaller low-overhead drop shippers will survive while the scamazons of the net will be in financial trouble. FWIW, the Sony 550 is a great machine, a lot of bang for the buck.
