We still have a Samy's Camera here in Orange Co, California. It's been a while since I was in the store, but I've bought stuff there over the years.

I want to give a shout out to Tempe Camera here in Tempe Arizona. The last of the brick and mortar camera stores here in the valley.
Foto Forum/Larmon Photo is still at it's location at Camelback/7th St in Phoenix. Admittedly, Tempe Camera is a superior store, but...

Wow, didn't know that it was still in business.
Pictureline in downtown Salt Lake City is phenomenal. The prices are competitive and they are rapidly developing an internet presence. Honest, friendly and knowledgeable. A great resource.
Shout out to Overland Park Photo Supply.
Overland Park,Ks
Very knowledgeable, great sales advocates.

One of my go to stores from Cincinnati.. we also have Dodd’s and PROCAM in Cincy.
Yes there are still some excellent brick and mortar camera stores. Murphy's Camera in Louisville, KY was a fantastic find. They have a great 'used' department as well as a large inventory of anything a photographer would want. So cheers to the few brick and mortar stores left!! Happy New Year folks!
We still have “The camera Shop” in Muskegon and Traverse City Mi. Honest, reputable and caring; they’ll even match the big boys prices and carry all things.
In Elmira, NY, there is "B & C Photo". I have been there several times, and have always had my needs taken care of. The owner has taken the time to show, and explain, the different aspects of the article I was looking for, and would suggest a better fit for my needs, even if the cost was less. Customer service is great there.

Thank you for supporting your local brick and mortar. We MUST keep these places open, not give in to saving a buck on Amazon and then having no support, no advice, no help!
My local brick and mortar is Samy's Camera in Santa Ana CA. There are multiple locations. I've gotten all sorts of help from these folks. And they have a great warranty program where they send the camera in and make sure it's fixed right, I don't have to deal with the repair company.
The internet has rendered camera stores obsolete in most of America.
I do not think there is a single brick and mortar "camera store" within 100 miles or more from here in Atlanta.
KEH buys and sells used photographic equipment but I do not classify them as a camera store.
Camera stores sell brand new equipment from most camera manufacturers. Best Buy does not.
In Indianapolis, it’s Roberts Camera. Their used department is UsedPhotoPro.com.
