I order the majority of my equipment from both of those shops as well.

Re: Best website for DVX accessories?
it can be really hard to know what to get and what to pass on.
b&h and evs are great places to get stuff, evsonline can be a LOT more pesonal! ask for rush!
there are probably some threads on here of favorite accessories.
i don't know if we should start a new thread?
post our top 5 favorite accessories?
#1. 3rd party battery, the batteries sold right here rock! last forever and a VERY good price
#2. good case, porta brace, search on www.portabrace.com and see which ones fit the dvx, they have a normal size one and a huge one for people like me who carry way too much to fit into even two bags.
#3. a really good tripod, even if it is a stretch get a REALLY good tripod, i had a very basic bogen and i struggled with it for too long before i got a more appropriate one (501 or 503 head with decent legs)
#4. shotgun mic to replace the fairly useless one on top - i went with the sennheiser me66 and will be upgrading shortly to a cs-1 or cs-3
#5. if you do a lot of handheld work a supplemental handgrip, i started with a Bracket1 - hated it, too far forward, screwed up the natural balance big time, only choose that one IMHO if you are using it on a tripod, i got the mini-rover and really like it but i will probably be upgrading to a jimmybox.com or getting a modified jimmybox.com built for me.
those are NOT in any particular order other than the battery, the factory battery isn't very useful unless you shoot really short stuff.
