Recommend camera store in LA?

[jh]

I will be in Los Angeles / Orange County next week for training. Are there any "Must See" camera stores that anyone can recommend?

Never been there but this must be one of the bigger ones now.

Frank's Highland Park Camera used to put out all the big ads in the 70's. I did go there and buy some things and it was a real candy store.

Here's a list I found. Ritz is a chain and Bel-Air should be a good one. I'm just getting back into photography so I'm not too up to date on this.

Yes, Samys is a very good chain. The downtown store has just about everything you could possibly want. Another good one is Canoga Camera (http://www.canogacamera.com/). I've also heard that Calumet is nice, but I haven't stopped by there yet so I can't verify that myself.

Thanks for the responses. There really isn't anything I need, but a good camera store and a credit card have the ability to blur the line between need and want. Next thing you know you've found something you can't live without.
