I really don't waste my time searching for camera prices. I might visit a few of the big name sites but pretty much it's B&H all the way. I've places dozens of orders with them both big and small and have never had a problem.

My experiences with B&H have been similar to those reported by Mark, and when in a few limited times there have been any kind of problem they resolved it to my satisfaction. Throwing another vendor in to the mix that you may want to consider, Gary at Hunts is a great to deal with and goes out of his way for his customers.

From what I've found through my various purchases over the years, there are maybe half a dozen truly reputable online retailers (excluding the big box stores at least). B+H, Onecall, Beach Camera / Buydig, Canoga, 17th St Photo and Profeel (and Newegg, but not so much for cameras). I do all my camera business with either B+H and Beach, but I've bought stuff from all of the above except 17th and none of them have failed to impress me.
