FWIW: I love my Olympus e-m5 Mark II and III cameras. Very easy to hold and can get as advanced as you want when you’re ready. Great image stabilization and image quality. I’m a former Nikon shooter.
And exactly how does this relate to the OP’s question about Southeast Camera or Peace Camera?
One thing you may want to do with the two Raleigh camera stores is to call and see what brands and models they stock and compare that with what you're looking for. They both are well sucked, but not necessarily with the same stuff.

I was wondering the same thing.
KEH has a great reputation for selling pre-owned equipment . I have purchased from them many times.
I shop at southeast all the time. Best camera store I've ever been to. People there are all friendly and very knowledgeable. You will also get a fair deal. DON'T GO TO PEACE CAMERA. People there are rude and all think there Ansel Adams. You will love Southeastern even if the store is a little cluttered.
KEH in Atlanta is in a big, impressive building, of which only the first 10 x 20 foot entrance room is open to the public -- to pick up equipment you have already ordered and paid for. They do have used camera bags sitting out for impulse buyers, otherwise think of it as mail order only.
I have shopped at Biggs in Charlotte for years. Biggs is about half-way between Atlanta and Raleigh (well, slightly closer to Raleigh). The staff are knowledgeable and always willing to help. Highly recommended!
I’ve occasionally shopped at Peace Camera in Raleigh. Good experiences there too.
Yes I have shopped at Peace camera in Raleigh see if Steve is still there he knows his stuff. Sometimes he can be a little snarky but very knowledgeable and good guy when you get to know him. Greg
A little late in reply, but I would say that Southeastern Camera in Raleigh is the best camera store I have ever used. Tony is the owner and he sets a very positive and helpful example for all the people there. To put this in perspective, I have lived in 15 or so cities, and shopped for cameras in all of them. This place, Southeastern, will provide great advice, point out plusses and minuses, and help you with good selections, even if it results in a smaller sale for them or no sale at that time. Good luch with your checking around. JimR.

Have any members shopped at Southeastern Camera or Peace Camera? I am looking for a mirror less camera for my wife and will be in the Raleigh area the day after Christmas. There are no camera stores close to Augusta, GA.
I will look into KEH in Atlanta and would be interested in comments on them as well and that will require a day trip. My wife cannot hold my Canon full frame and my crop sensor 7D II is too heavy for continued use.
As with all things, Google has the answer. Search for
"camera store atlanta ga" OR "camera store augusta ga."
You will find stores in both locations.
