Www.procam.com/. They carry stuff major stores don’t, staff extremely knowledgeable, great pricing
Example...I was on waiting list for Nikon 500 mm for months, they had 3...One classed as used, but with full5 year US warranty, in box all papers, at used price....2 other brand new boxes sealed.
What a camera store? I have hear stories about them.
Camera stores that amount to anything ( people that actually know what they are talking about ) in the area you are talking about are a thing of the past. The last one was May’s in La Crosse run by Paul Petra’s the owner. He was killed in his store about 7 years ago. Call the people at B+H, they are very knowledgeable.

It's a little out of the way, but National Camera or West Photo in Minneaolis are the last and best in the cities.
Again out of your stated area but Art's Cameras Plus in Milwaukee and Waukesha gets all my business

I had not been in West for approximately 30 years because the last time I was told to leave if I was not planning to buy something. This time, looking for a tripod that National didn't carry- great experience.
National carries MFT and has a web store, West does not.
B&H out of New York is the best! A lot of expertise in the sales people and Best Buy’s! They have extensive on line presence!
I use National Camera Exchange in the Minneapolis area. They have branches near Southdale in Edina/Mpls; near Rosedale Center in Roseville/St Paul; Burnsville; and one in Maple Grove. I think they’re based in Twin Cities.
Roseville is where I bought my last camera. They talked me into a Canon G1X mark 3 because of its large sensor. I like the camera. (I was upgrading from a Canon G9X mark 1).
All 3 of my Canons over the last 15 years have been bought at their stores. They seem knowledgeable to me.

Nikon1201,
Please don’t take this personally, despite your perseveration, but "Google it" (or Bing it or Duck it or Wow! It) ... does not, in my experience, always work so efficiently when one searches for retail stores that actually exist
in the present! Why? Because once a store is listed on the internet, usually no one takes the listing down when the store moved or goes out of business. That means one needs to verify a particular store's existence and street address by phoning it (if someone bothers to answer,) or going to the store's website, if it has one, and G-d forbid if the store is part of a small chain and has outsourced its website management to some guy sipping designer coffee who checks on it every few months, thus doesn’t keep up with where stores have moved (yes, this actually happened to me.)
So please, to you and everybody else that casually perseverates about "googling it," it ain’t always so.
