| - I love The Camera Store. Conveniently located on 11th Ave SW, they have some of the best everyday low prices on photography equipment in the city, and in some cases, in the country as well.
Their in-stock selection isn't as great as say Vistek, and their website doesn't seem to list all of the items they have in the store, but if you find that they don't have it in stock, they're usually willing to special order it for you. But chances are, if they don't stock it, you probably don't need it unless your needs are very specialized.
They are one of the few official resellers of Singh-Ray filters and Think Tank equipment in Canada. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and if you go visit often enough, will eventually get to know you by name. In fact, if you manage to find a lower price for an item they carry, either locally or on-line, they're usually willing to price match. My only complaint is that they close at 5:30 p.m. on most nights (except for Thursday, when they close at 7:30 p.m.) and that they aren't open on Sundays, which makes it hard to shop here if you can't get downtown fast enough after work, and are unavailable on Thursdays and Saturdays as well.
I've purchased a little bit of everything from here: camera bags, filters, tele-extenders, tripod equipment, point-and-shoot cameras, camcorders, various photo accessories and more. They're a great resource, especially in-town, when you need something right away and don't feel like hunting around for bargains or the best price. If you're looking for some photog gear, The Camera Store makes a great first choice.
