It's tough, man. I want to support local businesses; having local photo shops is rare and not…read moreeverybody is so lucky. But this Hunt's is a great example of why they're a dying breed. Selection is fine, but prices are not--everything I've looked at there is manufacturer list price when online retailers are often cheaper. They only stock high-end accessories that aren't much better than the no-name equivalents (and aren't 200%-the-price better). Staff is mostly friendly but aren't that helpful compared to online reviews and aren't allowed to let customers try gear in the store, so what's the point? Not good for resale, either. The manager taking a look at my gear (which, granted--old stuff!) grumbled (kinda rudely, to be honest) at me about how nobody wanted old stuff, they say they pin to B&H used prices but he could only give me $60 for a Panasonic GH4 because who wants that? Meanwhile KEH took two off my hands for $200 plus ten percent extra in store credit, and the week I went to Hunt's they had literally unloaded all their used stuff to a bulk buyer so wouldn't have been able to do the same anyway. (But they sell on Amazon, too, so I'm sure there are no used deals to be found.) Hunt's in Melrose got me started in videography in 2012, but things have changed, and this is no good at all.

Asking questions was like she was reading off a script or she didn't know. I asked about the camera I always had and about specific lens, and they didn't have 2 of the lenses we were looking at. They have a smaller section of used camera equipment then they used to, which doesn't necessarily reflect badly on them, but I can't purchase what they don't have, the one lens that would fit my camera was priced pretty fairly in my opinion at $400 less the online.
