I went in to get a remote shutter release for my camera. I told them what camera I had and before I could say anything more I got lectured on how crappy my camera was and that I shouldn't even bother with the remote and I should buy a new, better camera. I tried to be polite but this guy would not let up. Final straw was when I just outright said do you have the remote or not. He said I do... But I'm not going to sell it to you. You need a better camera.

I saw an article recently about things we use that kids born today won't, and one of them was a camera. Another, a watch. Land phone lines, too.

In addition to poor service, I think their other problems lie with the fact that everyone's got a camera on their phone, so the casual photographers aren't buying as much as they used to.

Good. I'm glad. This is one Folsom business that needs to go away. They treat their customers like garbage. I have never heard of anyone with a good experience from them. If you want to know how not to run a business this place is the model.

I thought my experience was maybe a one off thing but after reading this and others...wow. I needed a lens and lens adapter for a high end point and shoot DSLR wanna be and they just psff like i was wasting their time and mine. Amazon had no issue selling it to me Ritz and 2 day free shipping When i stepped up to a T3i DSLR, i went anywhere but Ritz.
Any local camera recommendations?
And Steve, you are right. iPhone is a, VM "machine", TV, watch and immediate camera....who needs the old school devices?

Great choice of camera! I love my T3i. As long as you do your homework, Amazon will work just fine. They have just about every Canon or Tamron lens out there. Forget Ritz and their bonehead sales reps.
iPhone and other handheld devices are great for quick fix, but nothing beats a true camera when it comes to quality of photos.

I love the (heavy) sigma f2.8 70-200...at about half the price of the Canon equivalent. I'm ambivalent about the Tamron f2.8 17-50. It works fine, and the wide angle is nice, but they don't lie when they say the autofocus is noisy.
And Mac, you can pay a onetime setup and still have your alarm without a landline. We got rid of ours about 6 months ago, and I have never once missed it.
