This is by far the best store in Calgary for all your general camera needs! The employees have some how learned my name, and I am only in there every month or so. TCS is always packed with people, yet there are always tons of very very helpful staff willing to go out of their way to help (Dean and Chris are stand outs!). Some local camera stores are a bit intimidating, but NOT TCS. I have dealt with rentals (and they have a wonderful rental departmen) several times, and they are very accomodating! The sales staff are great, and so are the products. Their policies on returns/defective gear are fantastic, they really go the extra mile, and that is rare indeed these days!! They don't always have what I need, but they will order it. They also sell used & refurbished gear - you can ask the staff for their inventory. They also put on a big Expo each year, bringing in speakers and doing tons of great workshops. Love The Camera Store.
