RITZ CAMERA MOVING IN AT NEW BETHESDA LOCATION (PHOTOS)

Ritz Camera is in the process of moving into its new home next to the CVS on Arlington Road.

Is a VCR-TO-DVD conversion machine (see photo below) an appropriate symbol of the anachronism photo stores have become?

With a sizeable population of senior citizens, there may yet be a niche market for photo printing and other services Ritz provides in Bethesda.

Ironically, I do most of my photo developing at CVS next door :)

It's kind of like Blockbuster - what was once the function of an entire store is now in a kiosk, or even in a pocket smartphone.

For most people, they're already carrying the only camera they need: their iPhone. So a camera shop is very niche in 2013.
