Hello! I have been in Costa Rica for a little over a week now, and I brought my Canon 7D camera with me hoping to capture some great pictures of this beautiful country. The only problem is I lost my only battery and battery charger to my camera while leaving the airport in San Jose.
I am in Manuel Antonio now but Im willing to travel anywhere in Costa Rica to buy a replacement battery for my 7D. (the battery is a LF-E6). If anyone has this battery for sale or knows of a photography store here, please I would appreciate any information.
(Also, I have considered ordering one from ebay but I am not sure what the most dependable or quickest method would be.)
Thank you in advance,
~Sarah
Does anyone know where I can purchase photography items in Costa Rica?

Sorry about that loss. It's easy to do.

"Camera Repair & Parts
The best chance you have in Costa Rica is with the Canon Camera repair department, located just north of San Jose, on avenida 3, between calle 3-5. While they are an authorized Canon dealer, they do repair cameras of other manufacturers, in addition to video camera equipment. Expect to conduct most of your business in Spanish.
For those who need special items, such as filters, lens cloth, cables, etc., there is a camera store, just beside Kodak (along side of the Plaza de la Cultura), that carries the most complete supply of camera related products."
Perhaps you could call one or both.
And, in San Jose, you might consider visiting a few pawn shops. All the stolen camera equipment in Costa Rica has to end up somewhere!
