Size is a relative thing, especially if you judge by the size of B&H or similar.

Sandman
Colonial was slightly bugger than B&H, but B&H was also very tiny.

Savageduck
"bugger"???

Sandman
Bigger.

Savageduck
OK! A typo.

"...B&H was also very tiny."???

None of that response makes any sense at all.

Sandman
Why not?

Savageduck
"...B&H was also very tiny."?? Those are your words aren't they? If you consider B&H "very tiny" what exactly do you consider a large store?

B&H's camera section was tiny. I wasn't talking about the entire store, just as I didn't include the size of the entire Colonial store either, since it's some 70% hobby things like model airplanes and such.

B&H is a massive store, the furthest from *very tiny* that anybody could possibly imagine. Take a look at their store information video at full screen.

I am fully aware of the size of B&H. I was at on in the Florida Loop. It wasn't "massive", but sure, it's a big store. MediaMarkt in Europe is bigger though, at least that the one in the Loop. BUt, I was only in reference to their tiny camera section, which had some 5-6 SLR bodies, some 10+ P&S and some other assorted cameras.

The camera section in our local MediaMarkt is about five times as big as B&H's camera section, with probably 30+ SLR bodies on display and too many P&S to count. It has huge Nikon, Sony and Canon stalls with tons of cameras, lenses and accessories.
