Title: Good Photography shops in California?
Post by: Daneel on February 19, 2007, 16:26
Hi all,

which US-shops can you suggest for buying DSLRs and Cameras? Possibly on the west coast (LA, San Diego, San Jose)...? I'm going to San Jose in two months and might buy a DSLR and 1 or 2 lenses there...the prices there are real great.

thanks,
Michael

There are a couple of places (I guess pricing is relative...)

Keeble & Shuchat in Palo Alto (north of San Jose)
http://www.kspphoto.com/

San Jose Camera (I buy equipment from here)
www.sanjosecamera.com/

Both places are pretty good...but you get the typical sales staff that knows it all...and gives you that feeling of "why would you need this camera"

Hope this helps.

Where are these real great prices? Nothing in california is cheaper than the rest of the country (except maybe illegal substances). Even fruit that is grown in California is cheaper in the rest of the country than it is in California.

Are you from a different country and so the exchange rate is currently in your favor?
