WTF

Unless you are talking about DSLRs, the profit margin on P&S digitals is pretty low. I doubt there is much room for a factory or dealer hookup. Accessories is where the $$ is. Stuff like a plastic lens hood for $40 bucks. :p

Yeah, hook me up with a free EOS-1Ds Mark II while you're at it. I promise that I'll be your friend for life :)

If you find anybody who does work/own a camera store. ask them why the frell they can't stay open until 8:00 or something so people can go there after work.

What's even more annoying is that all the good camera stores in the NYC area are owned by Orthodox Jews, so they're closed on Friday evenings and Saturdays. WTF is up with that?

Right, the GOOD ones. :) Most of those other guys around Times Square are crooked. J&R is OK, I guess, but B&H is da bomb.

MicroCenter has their annual camera sale. Unfortunately it's not 20% as it was the previous years. It's only 10% this year.
