I just don't see the big box retailers stocking a real full line of photographic equipment. There's always Adorama and B&H. Again, things do change, and maybe I'm wrong. I've noticed that over the years, Best Buy now sells pretty much all you need to build your own computer (mother boards, cases, etc.) Maybe their photographic department will expand similarly? Hard to say. Scott Don Dory wrote: >On the retail side, the small players are going away as in closed doors with >no one interested in the business.
