The problem with Jessops going to the wall, was that 75% of the staff didnt have a clue about photography or things associated with photography. EG colour management. It was ok for point & shoot and printing point & shoot pics.

I aint a pro
I think this is a pretty common problem.Originally Posted by kingscurate
I am going to be very curious to see what the Canon stores are like. Rick may be right, in that the internet will always be home for those of us that are deeply into this hobby and for pros. It could be that the Canon stores will be more aimed at replacing the Jessops/Best Buy's of the world---i.e. consumer level products. But, hopefully, they have a 600 mm F/4 II or two lying around for folks like me to play with
Kayaker72 - I see that you are in New Hampshire. I tend to go to the Hunt's Photo Store in Manchester. They don't have a huge selection, but I have been able to get most of what I want with the exception of filters, these I've ordered on line. I've been pretty happy with the customer service at Hunt's as well. I haven't run into anyone that didn't know what they were talking about.
I've noticed that the DSLR selection at the local Best Buy has been getting really thin over the past several months.
I would like to see a Canon store in the area. I would imagine that there would be one in the Boston area eventually.
Canon XSi, Canon 40D, EF 28-135 IS, EF-S 18-55 IS, EF 50 1.8, EF-S 10-22, EF 24-70 2.8L, EF 70-200 2.8L II IS, G12
