Big news — Ritz Camera gears down by closing 300 stores.   Many people not  surprised at all.  This chain camera store is considered the nation’s largest camera and imaging products store.   Where did this distinction come from?

There must be five or more  Ritz Camera stores locally and all have little inventory on hand.  Never  any late-model Nikon or Canon DSLR’s.    The clerk will be overjoyed to order it in for you from some warehouse.  No point to  that.

Name brand accessories? Hardly.   Ritz relies on point’n'click digital cameras and lousy 4×5 prints.

Film?  – — none!  The nation’s largest camera store doesn’t carry film.

So glad to support real, authentic camera stores like Dan’s Camera City and real pro shops like Professional Photographic Services.
