It's because people aren't willing to pay for service that camera stores 
can't afford to give it. It's a sad state of affairs. You would think 
camera manufacturers would give them a break and not give the big stores 
such an advantage in price, because the local stores would eventually give 
them more business because of good support. But no, that's not the Wal Mart 
style of doing business these days. It's a sad situation that good stores 
are more and more rare. If the camera companies cared, the dealers would.
