The internet and digital cameras have caused local camera stores to be slowly pushed out of business to be replaced by the mega New York stores and big box retailers. One of Austin’s camera stores is holding it’s own, Precision Camera. This local store offers knowledgeable sales staff, a great selection, camera service, great development and printing service, classroom training, and even lets you send in photos online for printing. The used camera section is frequently my downfall. The digital wonders are fun but there’s something about well made, mechanical cameras that have been making pictures for generations that captures my fancy. My latest aquisition was an Nikon F3 HP–one of the toughest Nikon’s ever built. If you’re considering buying a camera check out this local store–their prices are highly competitive and the service can’t be beat.
