Camera shops: Not the best city in the world for those. We have a friendly one, not exceptionally well-stocked -- Boyd's, at the corner of Blanco Road and Lockhill-Selma. We have a well-stocked one with a reputation for unfriendliness -- Camera Exchange on San Pedro Ave. By the way, in case you do want to visit those shops, be aware neither one is open on Sundays. Places to see: "World-class" zoo (with miniature railroad that is or was the "world's longest"); four 18th-century missions (in addition to the Alamo -- the Shrine of Texas Liberty. The other four are less touristy and in fact all the chapels are still in regular use as chapels); some nice and some truly horrific architecture. I may have even more ideas when I'm a bit more awake :-) I just happen to have spent a lot of time shooting the zoo and the missions. Of course there's also the Riverwalk. Places to eat: Recommendations would depend on what you like to eat. Ken Archer will probably have additional suggestions.
