Every time I go to get a digital camera from PC Richards, not only do I keep it, the camera tends to last long enough that I get the value of the money from it. As a nature photographer, a lowly greenscreener, I have thousands of clicks per diem to make. These photos might translate into a minute of film, given a staff of art editors, as well as someone who knows how to turn these images into high resolution images. We're talking about a good day here, a day when I do four thousand clicks. Now 100,000 clicks for a one hundred dollar camera is about all a person can expect. After that, it's time to retire your camera to light use, and get another camera. Sure, the higher end the camera, the more likely it is to get stolen, however, if you are earning minimum wage, you can afford things like camera insurance, which should cover the loss of your camera if you are in a bad way or a bad neighborhood. PC Richards carries everything that a photographer might need other than a digital camera in their clearance center, in the way of electronics. This is not a company that plays games with its customers. Please be reasonable with the staff and the merchandise, and help PC Richards continue to have good sales karma. Thank you
