Camera Shop Recommendations

granitebox · 04-20-2009, 08:59 AM

In an attempt to keep dollars local, i'm looking for recommendations on a high service, camera shop to purchase a telephoto lenses for my wife's birthday gift. Ideally, i'd like to be able to have her spend 30 minutes or so with a knowledgeable staff, learn about what she wants (high speed telephoto for outdoor sporting events) and then make a good decision.

Its understood that buying locally means paying more than shopping on-line which is why i want to stress the need for a friendly, helpful staff that can teach her what she needs and why.

Any ideas?
