I also think you shouldn't diss Walmart - if they had the camera I wanted and the price was right, I'd buy it there. Not all the stuff they carry is low end. Example:

That's a serious camera there. |
Yes that is a serious camera, but you'll be hard pressed to find that at most Walmart retail stores. The last time I was in the camera section, I saw a beatup film SLR which hasn't been marketed for quite a few years now.
It all does make sense though. I've been in the accessory section at walmart a few times forcing myself to bite my tongue and not start arguing with what some of the employees were telling customers. Stuff like how a 128 mb card is better than a 2gb card because the camera operates faster with lower numbers, how digital zoom is better than optical zoom because it's "digital" - stuff like that.
Still, it's nice to know that there are guys like rwest out there steering customers the right way.
