Default DC Local Photo store?

Finally I'm upgrading my camera, 40D it will be.

The thing is, I'll be in DC next Monday and if I find a good deal probably I can jump up to the 50D; anyone knows about a decent local store?

Thanks in advance.

I use Penn Cameras in Laurel and talk to Don (http://www.penncamera.com/) but noticed there is one on 18th St in DC.

I just came back from the store. They have recently combined the stores and are only at the Burke location now. The do list Embassy camera on their website, but I don't know the connection between the two.
