Correction
Canon not selling to Ritz isn't part of the bankruptcy proceedings. The issue is Ritz got to write-off a ton of debt to Canon.
Canon & Ritz couldn't work out a new deal before the Christmas season.
Thanks for the clarification Eric
Not until 2010 at the earliest
Canon will not be selling them any new stock for the Christmas season to Ritz Camera. Canon will sell to the retail chain during Q1 2010 at the earliest.
Ritz will be sending existing Canon stock to the “Ultra Store” locations. Apparently they're for the higher end gear.

David,
Everything is cheaper online DUH… that shirt your wearing i could have found it cheaper online, that keyboard your typing on i could have found it cheaper online that’s the fact here. online there is little to no overhead and that why its cheaper. however buying things in store keeps our economy going so suck it up and shop in stores. Ritz will match any local competitors price without issue… also they can order top-of-the line gear. no canon for now, that’s canon’s trip though…
hey Ritz Camera and Ritz Camera.com are two completely separate beings. Did you ever wonder why you do not have to pay state tax online? It’s because they are not physical stores residing in a STATE. What happens when all of our retail stores go out and the only way to buy is online? What if you wanted to go hold a camera and see how it feels to you before you lay out a grand. Something wrong with what you got shipped? Well I hope you can understand thick accents and like to be put on hold, treated like you know nothing, and most likely hung up on cause that person on the other line will still get paid over there in India if he pisses you off or not. Come into a retail store, talk to someone face to face and, if it were me, I would do everything in my power to help you out and get you going again. I love my retail job mostly because of how I get to teach people and get them what they need. This is also the reason most people in this company are trained to sell sell sell, I hate that tactic but the internet is going to end us. You probably won’t read this Matthew, but I was going through this feed and for some reason felt like venting on your post… Corporate America though, is all about money money, but if our economy and jobs are ever going to come back, we need retail!
