I think the problem with camera stores generally speaking is they are being wiped out by online stores. They usually simply can't compete.
I was in Penrith about 3 months ago and went to look in some camera shops. There were supposed to be 2 or 3 of them. They were all shut down.
There can be some exceptions. I order stuff through ECS cameras in Drummoyne (just bought a lens off him today as a matter of fact). His prices on Fuji are actually the same or cheaper than online.
For Nikon he is only a bit more expensive than online.
But that's for Nikon and Fuji. He doesn't sell Canon.
I've bought a lot off Hong Kong guys including a Nex 6 which only took 5 days to arrive. They all seem good so far and no complaints. But nothing was a super expensive purchase.
Greg.
