| - Sapna and Bernard pretty much said it all. There is really no reason for anyone -- from professionals to those buying their first point and shoot -- to go anywhere else for anything related to photography.
The only exception would be if they didn't carry something and it was available somewhere else (for me, that was gaffers tape, which I bought at Vistek, and a 70-200 lens, which I had to buy from *shudder* Saneal, which has the world's worst return policy -- as in, they don't).
When they do carry something, you can be almost certain it is the cheapest in the city. Except maybe Costco, but they only carry about a dozen cameras at a time and their return policy on electronics is no longer great like it used to be.
They have cameras, memory cards, film (the only place in Calgary with Polaroid), lighting (not much though -- buy that online if you can), books, tripods, stands, camera bags, good glass (lenses), photography-related software, light modifiers (grids, reflectors, etc.), flash triggers (i.e. PocketWizards), filters, backdrops, and all sorts of accessories. They rent camera equipment. They also sell video and film processing equipment (enlargers, etc.). Not to mention a bunch of other video and audio-related stuff.
If it's photography-related, always make sure AT LEAST to look here first before buying anywhere else.
