Best Camera Store in DFW???

[Nick Chapman]

Looking for the best camera store to buy accessories and bags. Gonna head out later today to pick up a few things and want to go to whoever has the best selection.

Mainly looking for a new camera bag, new SD card and a couple of 72mm filters, but I'm sure I'll find more that I NEED! lol!. Where's the best local place to go?

Thanks!
Nick

Not the cheapest but, Fort Worth Camera is very friendly and I always like to support the local guy. Plus they will take the time to answer your questions and are very knowledgeable.

How is their selection of accessories?

Nick, you'll get the most for your money at Microcenter when you buy an SD card.

They aren't the cheapest, but IMO the best is Arlington Camera. They've got tons of new and used camera equipment. You can find vastly more product offerings than you'll ever need.

Check out Lowepro bags, www.lowepro.com

and check out Crumpler bags, http://www.crumpler.com/us/Camera-Ba...anguageCode=EN


Only two brands I've ever needed and used.

Damn! Those are kind of pricey!

I second this suggestion. As far as the selection of accessories, it seems to be pretty good. I've never been looking for what you are, but everything we've needed they've had. Stores kinda a mess, but they seem to know where everything is.

Some yes, some no, just depends on how big of a bag you want.

I like Fort Worth Camera as well.

Arlington Camera was nice, but it seemed impersonal. I went once to see what they would give me for a used lens, and I couldn't get the time of day.

I wasn't impressed.

No love for Best Buy, LOL!

how long ago was this? i did some christmas shopping there this past season and they seemed friendly, and had a lot of people on staff.

Another vote for Ft Worth Camera. Great group of folks in that store.

OK, so I took some of your advice and went to Ft Worth Camera. Overall I was not impressed. They have a decent sized inventory, but the staff sucked ass! The girl helping me was only interested in how much I spent, and not giving me what I wanted. One example was the SD card I was looking for, they were all behind the counter, so you had to have someone help you with them. Told her what I wanted, and she proceeded to hand me a $400 32gb card. Told her I didn't want to spend that much, and she said that's all they had. I asked her about another 32gb SD card I saw behind the counter, and she got it down for me, it was considerably cheaper at $75. But she only wanted to sell me the more expensive card. She acted like I was putting her out. Same thing happened when I asked about lens filters. She was only interested in selling me the $400+ filters and told me they had nothing else. Found a 3 pack containing 2 of the filters I wanted for $109.

Long story short, I purchased a new camera bag, and 3 lens filters in a kit. But I won't go back there unless I have to.
