Most camera sales people I've dealt with are not experienced photographers; they are trained at selling you the most expensive camera you are willing to pay for, plus as many accessories as possible, and regurgitate just enough from the camera specs sheet to come across as "knowledgeable".

That's a shame. Most of us didn't do that back years ago at the store where I worked (part-time), We suggested items that they might be interested getting in the future. We had TONS of repeat customers, coming in for lenses and accessories. And we all were knowledgeable. Now, it seems to be "sell everything you can".
(I enjoyed working at that store!)
