You know how some (well, actually, just about all of us who ever leave our hometowns!) people have been looking for a list of camera shops in various places, that can be of help with various needs when on the road? I found one!

I can say for certain that some of the info on this list is out-of-date, but it is better than nothing.

Is there any way to sort it by locality? Not very useful as displayed. For instance, I am in Kitty Hawk, NC as I type this. Where is the nearest camera store?

That's one of the annoyances with it - I had to do a LOT of scrolling to find what I was looking for- a camera store in Buenos Aires. It would be nice to transform this into something that can be sorted, like an Excel spreadsheet, or some other database format, and post it here, so that it could be kept up to date by the APUG family, and searched more readily.

Some time ago, we asked Sean to have this here on APUG and I think it was said it would happen after the upgrade.

A state by state list would be great.

None of the camera stores that I know of in Rochester NY are on the list, nor are the ones I know of in several other cities. This is a pretty incomplete list it seems to me. I'm sure we APUG members could do a lot better.

If you are running Firefox (although I believe IE does this too), by pushing CTRL+F, it brings up a search box. Just type in the location, or starting charactors of the location you are looking for, and it will go to it on the page.

Good find Scott.

Steve,

Yes, it works in IE also. Thanks for info.

BTW: Be aware and beware that the list includes some of the more nefarious "Brooklyn Camera Dealers".
