There is EVS in Glendale. Everybody here loves them but I have had only poor service there.

Samy's Camera on Fairfax has a huge store (three floors) and also has a smaller one in Venice. Never pay retail there. Whatever the price is ask them for a better one and you will get it.

Bel Air Camera in Westwood, but they tend to be pricey and not as big of a selection but you can also haggle.

Also Coffey Sound which sells and rents sound gear. Across the freeway from Universal City.

Well, be sure to check out Abel Cine, the place that Jarred's designated as the new home of the DVXUser discount, they're in L.A. too.
 
For accessories (apple boxes, lights, c-stands, etc.) there is Filmtools in Burbank. They just moved and I don't know if they're re-opened yet.

I think their new address is:

1400 W. Burbank Blvd.,Burbank, CA 91506.
 
Yes in LA Abel is kind around here now.. Filmtools is cool though for grip stuff, and so is the Studio Depot in Hollywood.
