Bit of a long shot but I would be monster-grateful if anyone could recommend any shops in the Manhattan area of New York that sell digital cameras, and most importantly their location. [The camera that I am interested in is the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3, most camera shops will stock it].
I have a friend who is going to New York later this week and he's offered to buy me the camera while he is over there (two reasons why I would like to get it from the US: 1. potentially cheaper and 2. they don't sell the version I would like here in the UK). I'd like to be able to give him a few addresses before he goes. I've found two places using google but there must surely be more than just two - any help would be greeeeeeatly appreciated!
Many thanks,

Yes, they have all manner of cameras and what might appear top be good prices, but they are known for using intimidation to cheat tourists. They also slip the proper camera out of the box and give you some cheap knock-off.

Large helpings of thanks to the people above.
Friend has been dispatched with the addresses of "42nd Street Photo" (who have the cheapest online price), "B&H Photo" and "Adorama". [J&R web site didn't have the camera alas, thanks though for the suggestion ReelEmIn]
