Ritz Camera is a chain of camera stores based in the United States. They acquired the companies Wolf Camera, Kits Camera, Inkley’s and The Camera Shop. They use the private label brands Quantaray and Dakota. In the 1990's they worked with various camera manufactures like Minolta and provided exclusive distribution of cameras with more features like panorama and date backs, that were not available to other distributors in the US.

They filed for bankruptcy in February 2009. This caused major issues with creditors as after reorganizing and closing half the stores. David Ritz with other investors under the name RCI (Ritz Camera Image) acquired the company. This made it so the previous company owed the creditors and not the newer company.
