SandmanWhat is this all about? Popinjay has never been in the B&H store according to his own post. Yet, above, he's claiming that the camera section isn't 70,000 square feet.

Here is Camera & Camera, my preferred store in Auckland. This what they sell: https://www.camera-camera.com/And here is what they sell it in: http://tinyurl.com/ku9es8fPhysically they are not large but judging by what they do, they are quite a big store. At least they feel that way to me.Sandman
I'm not sure what I should do with this information.
It might help you give a reference point when people use words like, large, small, tiny, microscopic etc.
I'm quite interested in what Jonas considers to be a "big" store. B&H is a 70,000 square foot store.
The camera section isn't. You know, the section we're talking about. I didn't include the model train section in the size of the Colonial either, since it is of no interest to a camera store size discussion.
It probably isn't since some of the square footage is office, warehouse, and rest rooms, but what has this to do with Colonial and model trains?
Again, what's this? B&H's allocation to photo-related products is smaller than Colonial's?Tony CooperSandman
Something like 5,000 people a day shop at B&H. How would you fit them in a "tiny" store.
I'm sure the camera section of B&H actually is significantly larger than colonial, when comparing area, but smaller when it comes to actual photorelated merchandise.
What does "...the camera section of B&H...(is) larger than colonial...but smaller when it comes to photorelated merchandise" mean? Are cameras not "photorelated" [sic] merchandise?
It's a muddle of a post, but he *seems* to be saying that the area - the square feet allocated to the photo-related merchandise is large - but there are not many products shown in that area.
Obviously, he's never been in a New York store where every square inch of space is utilized. Why he would think B&H doesn't utilize display space boggles the mind.
He's not back thinking that the Best Buy store he was in is a B&H store is he? Can he be this dense?
