Hello,
Can anyone point me to a camera retailer(s) in Vilnius?
I would like to check the prices for various digital
cameras mostly Sony models.
Thank You,

These are on-line shops, so the prices would be lower than in street-shops.
Do not expect it will be cheaper than in the rest of Europe.

ATM is called BANKOMATAS in Lithuanian language and marked as on my picture. Just in case you are looking for any...
By the way, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are going to introduce European currency Euro, Lithuania in 2009 but the exact date is still not known (in 2004).
In the central part of the old town you can find Rotuse (Town Hall) and the square with wonderful houses. The first town hall was built in XV century, then several times reconstructed. The present view it has since XVIII century after renovation works by Stuoka-Gucevicius architect.
It is considered rude if you don't look the other person in the eye while raising your glasses for a cheer. This gets complicated when there are many people cheering.
The phrase to say while doing this is: I sveikata (EE svay-KA-ta), which means to your health!
Shopping.
Not a shoppers paradise here. There were a lot of very good book shops though. Unfortunately I can’t read Lithuanian, so my choice was limited, (that’s my fault of course) as English language titles did not abound.
I found Vilnius a city of very friendly locals and visitors. Well, I was very relaxed, smiling, happy visitor and I was lucky to catch a lot of warm, spring sun in May when I was there.
I easy got to know a few locals including two local beggars (no worries, they were clean and friendly) and a few visitors from Poland, Germany, the USA and... China. They all wanted to speak with us as much as we wanted with them :-).
LOCALS
I think that locals, both older and younger folks, were very interested in different and maybe somewhat new for them (after long isolation under Soviet occupation) strangers. Well, Poles (citizens of Poland) were not at all strangers as quite many locals could speak Polish language there. A lot of esp. medium and older folks could speak Russian as well.
A very sympathetic couple of young Lithuanians (speaking Polish) wanted to speak with us in a restaurant many hours but... we had to leave :-(. Sorry, friends...
VISITORS
There were not many foreign visitors in Vilnius in May. But anyway, I could hear quite often Polish and Russian and a few times English and German language on streets of the old town. Add one woman from... China.
