Here is the address of the main Ritz Camera, in downtown Wash DC.
1750 L Street, NW
Washington, DC 20036

Fairly large store and good stock the last time I was there.

Wash DC and the surrounding area is quite large. It may be helpful to know
exactly where you'll be staying to help point out the closest location.

I second that referral to Penn Camera. One location is right next to the
FBI building so you could visit Mulder and Scully.

They are also on the web at http://www.penncamera.com/
