the wiki for shop=photo "A shop dealing with photos or video in any way."
humm .. does not necessarily sell cameras ... ?
and 'develop photos'? errr .. that is now a specialist activity given the 
reduction in film cameras.

Where as a camera shop does sell cameras... but may not 'deal with photos'
So someone has a redirect up on shop=camera... and the redirect says 
'everything with photos'?

Would it not be better to call them what is most common?
I think there are now more "camera shops" than "Photo shops" .. take a look in 
a phone book?
 :-D    Mine has a redirect to "Photographic Equipment" !!  So what do I know?

Maybe the wiki page for shop=photo needs to actually include
cameras?
"Photographic Equipment"?

I would say that fits very well with shop=photo, which can be found
further down the page under "art, music, hobbies", and to which the
link that you created now redirects (because someone in 2011 already
thought "shop=camera" would better be "shop=photo")

Hi,
I've added the tag shop=camera on a node .. reflecting ONE shop I have
mapped.
There are others that I can tag (when I get to them).

They sell cameras, video or still, tripods, memory cards, filters etc etc.

Any idea for a better tag?  .. just fishing for ideas at this stage!

I've placed it in the wiki shop 'electronics' section .. best fit.
