I think I bought my latest camera and binoculars from the same NY store that Rebecca buys from. They have great reviews from knowledgeable customers which really helps with the decision process.

For folks who shop at REI, I was there yesterday and noticed that they're carrying more clothes from Moxie Cycling. I used my 20% coupon and dividend to get a hi-viz shrug that has relective stuff on the lower sleeves. I think it will be good for night rides in spring and fall. I mention it because Moxie is one of those rare companies that specializes in women's cycling clothes and they're no longer carried by TE.
