I want to get a Canon S5 as a second camera. Onestiop digital is not the cheapest and they have not replied to my email about that I sent three days ago.

Digitalfirst is the least expensive. The camera is "out of stock" but the www pages says they are due in today .

Has anyone dealt withis company and if so what were they like.

Just found an alternative at bestpricedbrands.co.uk. Any thoughts about these as well.

I've bought from DigitalFirst in the past, but not recently, and there was no problem. I would leave bestpricedbrands alone. They give no physical address, but whois says...

Info on other forums suggests that their whois address is a fake, and is actually a lingerie store! Also, the goods are shipped from the US and they do not have a UK base.
