I had a great experience at Samys in Santa Ana! The staff really knows what they are talking about and helped steer me away from spending money on things I didn't need. The salesman who helped me was polite and funny and listened to my newbie questions. I learned a lot of what I thought I knew already! I was happy to hear that the staff is made up of professional photographers who have been there and can offer advice as well as information. The guy who helped me shot for the Angels Baseball team, and the man next to him shot motorcycle racing! Ask to see their portfolio sometime.
