Local electronics shop?

I want to buy a digital camera and would prefer to support a local shop rather than best buy. Are there any local electronics shops any more?

Cameras Inc.

Cameras Inc. right in davis square is very good. The sales people are knowledgeable and they have a good selection of both dSLR and P&S cameras. You may get sticker shock if you compare them on price to B&H or Amazon, but their prices are, for the most part, on par with those at places like Best Buy. The sales people are infinitely more helpful.

Also, if you're buying a more pricey camera, do not be afraid to ask them to come down on price. I bought a Nikon D90 there last year. I appreciated how helpful they were in deciding which camera was best for me, but their price was $250 more than B&H. They knocked the price down to something I felt was fair and through in free prints 4x6 for a year.

Good point about negotiable price of dSLR and their free prints offer. My experience was similar. I've done business with Cameras Inc. since they opened in Davis Sq and have high praise for them.
