Cameraworld.com was bought out by Ritz in the past few days, and the brick
and mortar Camera World is up for sale or a sale is pending. For those that
ever had the opportunity to visit the Camera World shop in Downtown
Portland, Oregon it was a unique experience. Camera World used to bring the
experts into their shops quite regularly and it was always an education to
go down there and talk with the pros.
A few years ago, Camera World decided to become a dot com and the results
are evident (They dumped the Olympus line when they went Internet savvy).
It's too bad they lost their focus (which they had for over 25 years) and
became quite greedy. Maybe a lesson for us all. My 0.02 USD
