I stopped in at our local Camera Store in North Spokane today. They have been around for over 100 years, and still have their original downtown location.
They have evolved, however, into a high end audio visual store, even selling high end appliances.
They still sell high end cameras, but for the Canon 1 series or Nikon D5, you have to go down town. They used to have professional photographers to assist you, now, that's gone away but the people at least do know the products.
They used to have a Canon and a Nikon display in the prime location, and Sony around the corner with Fujii and others.
Thats changed dramatically. Now the Sony display takes up both spots formerly occupied by Nikon and Canon, and Canon / Nikon take up the less desirable and smaller display cases.
I have not been to the more pro oriented downtown store lately, but I'd expect the same.
I wanted to compare the EVF of the EOS R with mine to see if its as bad as mine is, but they are sold out, the salesman said they can't keep the R or RP in stock.
