Citizens Photo signThis is a charming full-service film and digital photo center. It's located in one of the City's Water Offices, and you enter through heavy wooden doors. Your first view in is over beautiful old blond wood cabinetry, which houses new and used cameras and camera supplies.

While it's not as huge as Pro Photo Supply, it's also less crowded, and more charming. You can get the smallest, coolest digital, or a wide variety of film cameras, new and used. They have all the chemicals to set up your own dark room, and they do photo processing as well. You can get prints of your digital photos while you wait on weekdays too. Honestly, I was kinda overwhelmed by the level of service, by adult men who had worked in photography for a good portion of their adult lives.

They have a nice collection of new and used camera bags. Perhaps best of all is the collection of student cameras.

If you're a fan of old film cameras, you have to visit here.
