I know this doesn't answer your question but consider buying one from a High Street shop. You know where they are if there is a problem and you can still pay by CC. Also, you can get personal service and advice. (PS I don't own a camera shop!).
(Added after seeing comments below) It is true that a local supplier may not often be so close. I checked out the bhphotovideo website. I could not find shipping price for the UK! Apart from that, their prices seem reasonable - and you can always e-mail them.
Good luck!

If this is your first digital camera you may want to do some research first on what features make a good camera.

I will second http://www.bhphotovideo.com
I've bought several cameras from them. You speak to people that understand cameras, not a teenager from the local Box Box Mart.
There are a ton of lowball sites that will take your credit card info and hold you "hostage". They typical scam is:
"We don't have your camera by itself - we're all sold out"
"What we have left is a kit that contains the camera, a tripod, extended warranty and a bunch of other crap you don't need."
Then when you threaten to cancel the order they remind you that there is a 15% restocking fee (even though they didn't restock crap). Do yourself a favor, shop with striaght shooters.
I'm also in favor of the local shop but, often times there is no local guy close.

www.newegg.com Not the cheapest or the biggest, but the best service. Watch their site for deals, I got my A700 for $320 with tax, shipping, and a 1gig memory card.

Abe's of Maine has some good deals, as does buy.com (rather limited selection, though).
