Alternative Shops for Camera Gear







Have you ever been shopping for camera accessories at the big-name retailers only to find that item listed as “backordered” everywhere you look? What about when an online shop is closed for the holidays? Here are some other places you might look to, starting with the manufacturers own website (I recently got a Nikon SB-500 speedlite in about a week directly from Nikon USA despite it being listed as out of stock). Other shops we recommend include:









* Pictureline (Salt Lake City)







* Roberts Camera (Indianapolis)







* Service Photo (Baltimore)
