Do you prefer to go into camera store or order from online?

I'm lucky to have a camera store with know how in that the owner is a photographer himself and knows his product lines, has used and rental equipment, and is generally well known in the photography community here. I've ordered from B & H and have been pleased with the gear and the prices. I guess I mostly buy local in store at the moment

I've always enjoyed going into a store, just because I can look around and pick up, touch and feel what I was looking at. Plus as corny as it sounds I like to look at the person to discuss the product.

I buy online after researching the item from reviews, forums, and hands on checking in local store if available. Online is usually cheaper for me. Only buy in store if no noticeable price difference or need an something immediately.

I there are perks to knowing the people behind the counter, do they give you any discounts?
