Despite the pressures on the camera industry from smartphones, a steady stream of quality mirrorless cameras is helping to support retailers. Major UK retailer Wex Photo Video, for example, now has 13 stores across the UK
The retailer recently announced it was relocating its store in in Milton Keynes to a new venue on Midsummer Boulevard. The grand opening is set for January 31.
