Best Camera Stores New York Near Me

Denny Payano: I called in to trade a camera, I was quoted $1,300 over the phone. I drove two hours to get there, and once I got there, they would only give me $470. I was very upset as they would not honor their initial offer. The salesperson said that they couldn’t ask more than $800 to resell, now they have my camera listed for $1,700. Not cool.

Nicholas Berg: I had an absolutely awful experience with Adorama, I have used KEH, B&H and others many times with zero problems. Audorama promised the best trade in value over the phone and even gave a quote I was happy with. My equipment arrived and was in perfect shape just like I described. The Adorama agent informed me that the manufacturer might have a sale and now the offer will be lower, all this in just 4 days after my phone quote.

rana kingi: Excellent service. Very happy with my purchase from here.

rob fields: Bought a laptop - best price in the city - personal sales service / honored a previous "sale" price - great retail experience

John Vargas: I'm so disappointed with the Adorama Customer service. I've been a customer for over 15 years and have spent thousands of dollars on equipment, but never ever was this bad. Nine days ago, I tried to make a purchase using the Adorama credit card, for which I was approved, after clicking "place order" the system got stuck in a loading loop and suddenly my available credit went down to $65 dollars as is the purchase was completed but nothing appeared in the cart. I called the bank and they said Adorama needed to either execute the order or cancel it so I can repeat the process, 9 days after I still trying to get my Mavic Pro 3 and already lost a gig.

Joshua Jarvis: Absolutely astonishing that these people can just never return your calls and expect you to call them... They're the ones interested in purchasing your items... why am I the one calling again? Then when you call, they never pick up. It feels like they're holding my equipment hostage. They baited me into confidently thinking I would get an offer over $800 which was only slightly competitive to other companies. I got the quality quote as everything was in great condition just to be told I can only get $500 for everything? Wow! bait and switch! Because that is a pretty big difference from the potential offer. Now I'm on WEEK TWO of them holding my camera hostage and I just want my stuff back so I can sell it easily on the private market for much more "perhaps much much more!" than they're offering me. I only chose this route for convenience but forget that. Faith in humanity lost with this place. When you talk to them on the phone, it sounds like they're reading off of a script. What a joke. Just tried calling back now and now told that they wont be back in the office for another week? This is absolutely ludicrous! RUN! RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!Update: sold my equipment for $900 within 24 hours of receiving everything back from them. This place is a waste of time. Dare i say, the gamestop of camera stores

Tyler Walkes: Adorama has everything a photographer needs and more. They also have events open to the public such as photowalks to help improve other's work.

Gu Matto: You never know who is trying to help you or sell you what they need to get rid of. Same as B&H. Go prepared and do your research.

Lemahtor: Avoid this seller at all costs. Ordered a Tele Vue 2x Barlow for $134. Received Nikon Binoculars instead. I returned the Nikon Binoculars and they refunded me $10.17. This is illegal. I will be contacting Tele Vue as well as the Attorney General.

Aung Moon: B&H was closed so early on Saturday but Adorama saved my day

Lad Drago: Sent me a used camera. Return and replacement were a huge headache. After a week I cancelled the order and got my money back.

ana rodriguez: It was the third time that I was going to buy something for my camera. I come from Queens to Manhattan just to buy from this store, there this man with a bad temper takes care of me and we were having a normal conversation in English and there the man starts talking to me in Spanish without asking me just because of my accent and there I say no thanks I understand English and the man gets angry and sends me to the costumer center and tells me that I was rude there I call the manager and all he does is say that it was all my fault and Not even an apology for the bad time he put me through! Last time I came to the store, lousy customer service.

Sunjunkey R: This site is a complete scam , do not buy anything from them !They took my money , in April. 2000$ and since then they have been writing apologetic emails , while lying through their teeth,About why they can't return it ,They even lied about contacting my bank in am effort to put me off , I contacted my bank who said that have nothing from Adorama, and asked me to get physical evidence that they contacted the bank ,Instead of that they apologised again , and told me that now they can return my money ,A week has passed yet of course nothing ,So don't give them any of your money , you might as well throw it out a window !

Pepe Nitro: Subject: Unsatisfactory Experience with Adorama - Grievance ReportDear Sir/Madam,I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment and dissatisfaction with the recent experiences I have had with Adorama, which have compelled me to submit a negative review. As a professional consumer, I believe it is essential to provide feedback on the quality of service received, in order to improve customer relations and facilitate necessary changes within the organization.My first ordeal began when I purchased a drone from Adorama, alongside the Care Fresh insurance plan. Regrettably, upon delivery of the drone, it came to my attention that the insurance plan had not been activated. Despite reporting this issue, three weeks have elapsed, and I am yet to receive the activation code. Despite their continuous assurances that I would have the code by the end of the day, I am still left without a resolution. Considering the substantial investment I made in a drone worth $5000, this protracted delay and the subsequent lack of support are truly disconcerting.Furthermore, this is not the first time I have encountered such an unfavourable experience with Adorama. Previously, I had purchased a Ursa Mini Pro cinema camera, only to discover that less than a year after my purchase, the price had significantly decreased by almost half. Despite these circumstances, Adorama failed to provide any form of assistance or compensation. Such a lack of consideration for customers after a substantial investment is particularly disheartening, especially during these challenging times when financial resources are scarce.Therefore, it is my professional opinion that Adorama would greatly benefit from refreshed leadership and a thorough evaluation of their customer service practices. It is essential for companies to prioritize customer satisfaction and strive for continuous improvement in order to maintain a positive reputation within the market.I humbly request that this email be documented as a formal complaint and that appropriate actions be taken to rectify the situation promptly. I believe that addressing these issues will not only enhance my personal experience as a customer but also contribute positively to Adorama's reputation and future customer interactions.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that necessary measures will be taken to resolve these concerns effectively.Sincerely,C Vega

Andrew Chin: Great prices on inventory

Carlos Paturzo: Atienden de lo mejor. Muy buenos precios.

Matthew Gilbert: products. When it broke, I sent it to Nikon within the warranty period, but they wouldn't fix it because of this. By the time I had received it back from Nikon to send to Tri-State, the warranty period had passed, and Tri-State refused to cover it under warranty, even though I had sent it within the one year period, just to the wrong place

Justin Marohnic: Purchase the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones on a Saturday. Free shipping, UPS. Had them on Wednesday. Authentic product, saved $90 from retail cost at big box stores. Beyond happy with my purchase and experience.

Kurtis Adams: Ordered new Sony XM4 Over-the-ear headphones. They shipped, they arrived, they're factory new legit Sony. 100% satisfied. Don't understand everyone's beef. Thanks, Tri-State!

Brian Christopher: I ordered a 45mm lens and I got a terrific price. They run great specials. Process time was as stated. Shipping was fast! Packaging was excellent. I would purchased from Tri-State again.

Nathan Stone: I was charged $18 shipping for something I never received. I put in my address, and TriState confirmed that they had received the correct address from me. Then, they shipped the camera with my name as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line of the address. The last line of my address was intact, so they shipped the camera to Dallas, where it floated in limbo for awhile, and then was returned to sender. I was refunded the amount of my order, but TriState charged me $18 for the shipping.Update: I tried to work with Tri-State through private communications to resolve this, yet only got through to them after I left a poor Yelp review 5 days later. They contacted UPS, and apparently UPS has claimed responsibility for the incorrect address.Customer service was helpful once I was on their radar as a dissatisfied customer.

Squirrelee: I ordered a camera that ended up no longer being in stock. The customer service really worked with me to get a similar camera for the same price. It turned out to be a better camera than the one I originally ordered. They were quick to respond to my email BY PHONE. The staff I talked with seemed friendly and knowledgeable. The sony cybershot RX100 V is turning out to be a great camera. Thanks Tri-State Camera. I will buy from you again.

Sam M: I was skeptical since the headphones I ended up buying were 25% off, which is the same as the lowest black friday price from last year I saw looking back. I had also never heard of the company. I called Sony customer service after receiving the headphones, and they walked me through how to verify that they were not counterfeit. They said the 1 year warranty was also valid. Great experience overall.

Anthony Sabino: Great deals, very friendly and quick service! I’ll definitely be ordering a lot more stuff, thank you!

lmmstang: Great experience with this company. Ordered Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. I explained to customer service that I needed them for a birthday present and they shipped them next day. Very impressive!! Will shop with them again in the future.

Dmitri Ghenov: Ordered my Sony wh-1000xm4 headphones from them. Received it in 3 days. Thank you!

Zhang JQ: I don’t understand why there is some many negative reviews. I ordered my 24-70 ED VR lens here and I was very satisfied with my purchase. The package was shipped and delivered in timely fashion. The package is well wrapped. The lens is superb. The customer service is also great. I called them once asking about the shipping status and the guys answered my phone call was decent. Really nothing you can complain about it especially when you pay such unbeatable price. For the US warranty many reviewer mentioned, mine does come with 1 year Tri-state warranty and it is a Nikkor lens authentically made in Japan. I’ve owned different Nikon products for about tens years. This lens has no problem at all competing those purchased at best buy or other authorized dealer. If you are truly obsessed with such things. Go to bestbuy for the same lens at much higher price.

Gest N.: great online site. also on amazon. very competitive prices on cemeras and lenses

Kedene Newton: I really needed a camera for my husband's birthday like yesterday. And I'm so happy I choose Tri-state Camera, the customer service and the abiIity to make sure I was able to get everything I needed by the time I needed it was amazing and greatly appreciated. My husband loves his gift and all the accessories I was able to get with it. Thank you again!!

chris glenn: I’m not sure why everyone is slamming this spot - I’m from out of town and here for work… needed to grab film and a few supplies. Nothing out of the ordinary, normal prices and person helping me promptly got what I needed.

alejandro medina: The guy with no teeth told his coworker to look at me because I might steal something, he told her that in english, assuming that I wouldn't understand. When I confronted him, he tried to play it nice and switched it up. Never buying there.

Gordon Jiang: The worst camera store in New York City, rude staff and horrible service. Do yourself a favor: Don’t go!!

Elizabeth Distante: super helpful - got set up with a film camera unboxed my budget!

Catherine Sinow: They have Fuji Pro 400H which is incredibly hard to find due to its discontinuation. It’s $26, cheaper than Ebay supposedly. The salesman Ian has such a polite and calming presence. Great experience!

Leo Marcondes: Disorganized. Poor service. Rude staff. It took me almost 2 months, 5 phone calls, and 3 visits and I'm still not able to retrieve my prints that they can't locate + wouldn't call me back with a solution + rude when I called asking for an estimate of when I could expect to be able to pick up my prints.

Matthew Wong: The individuals that staffed the used camera counter were nothing short of rude. Lost my business in a few minutes. Constantly belittled me for seemingly legitimate questions--and not really in a joking or pedantic manner. Very pushy to make a sale, and the moment I asked a few questions about their other cameras they immediately changed their tune and became very, very, very, outlandishly rude.Prices were fair and I hadn't even tried to haggle with them. Maybe come here if you have a thicker skin than I or something, but they were basically insufferable and it felt like a disservice to society to present them with my money.

Kyler Stiles Cade: Had a great buying experience, No pushing accessories or anything else,In fact I went in and told them I was looking for a camera package I was asked what I wanted to shoot and he showed me a couple cameras-I walked out with my new camera in about 20 mins and yes they did say if I needed any more information on using the camera don’t hesitate to stop in

Marko Ramovic: Love this Leica store !

Katherine P: Craig and all the staff are always very helpful when purchasing new cameras and answering questions about existing ones. I’ve been a customer for many years and am always satisfied with the selection and customer service provided.

Eduardo Reategui: Just frustrated i came from across town and it was closed, I guess Mothers Day they close

Andreas Schulmeyer: If you're looking for a Leica, this is clearly the place to go in the city. They have the usual selection you expect and several special edition cameras. Go check it out even if you can't afford a Leica.

Gary Dean Clarke: My go to place for my camera gear. Knowledgeable and friendly employees

Alexandre Guilloux: Call it before visiting. I was in front of the store a 5h30 pm and it was already close on Friday. Good job guys, remember you sell 10k cameras.

Grace Fu: I love it a lot, the door is not directly opened which gives a little space and feel better in the store. They have a lot of collections and magazines, those photos in the magazines looked very nice!

Joe Zhang: And hinted me to leave even 15 mins before the close time.

Gabriel Salcedo: The least helpful staff in any Leica Store i've been. They didn't treat me well until i showed them that I own multiple Leica cameras, I've been in a lot of Leica Stores around the world, and in no one I've been treated this way.

Space: I called regarding buying a camera that is on back order and they were very curt with my on the phone. The customer service should be better when inquiring about such an expensive piece of equipment.

A Green: Nice small store full of classic cameras

Scott H: Got a pre owned camera here with the peace of mind knowing that it was checked over by Leica. The nice salesman pointed me in the direction of a clean example. He threw in a fabricated metal thumb holder that they had on a different example. The manager looked over the camera and made sure the firmware was updated. Nice box and bag. Had to write a good review. 👍

green mathis: Professional service and attention!

Jakari Ward: Came in to do a return for a battery that I didn’t end up needing and I was told I can’t return a battery…There is nowhere on the receipt that says you can’t return a battery. The exchange and return policy needs to show that if you don’t accept battery returns. Also very weird and did not want to help.

Whitney Talcott: Nice people and marvelous cameras.

Kevin Xiao: Rene and Craig helped me sort out a weird issue with my M6ttl shutter that they had never seen before! Although a yearlong process, they helped me salvage the camera finally

Katie Elaine: Great customer service. The staff is very knowledgeable.

ifaa amit: Fabulous store, great staff, got the patience to explain and help. Premium all the way.

Alfijah Rahman: They’re closed and only sell headphones now. A complete waste of my time running here for camera equipment. Save yourself the headache.

Amber Barnhill: great service.

Zee Unicorn: The store's name is changed. It's now called Audio 46 Headphones store. Only sells headphones.

edmilson dos santos: Muito educados, estão de parabéns !

Garcia Josue: Nothing to say

Bella Racklin: NOT A CAMERA STORE do not come here looking for any camera equipment or any useful advice because they have “switched to headphones” and not bothered to update google.

Mukund Bamane: Hi sir, I can really help you in improve with your website or give clients email Id's. You can increase sales by 2 to 3 times within months by improving your online presence. If you are interested in please contact me on my email id: mukundharper.com . Work I do price you decide. simple. Thank you.

Michael E: Excellent experience here. I know nothing about cameras but was making a purchase for my wife. The product did not end up working appropriately yet they were willing to provide a full refund. Also worth noting that this was the type of product that normally would not be returnable

Nik Hall: Went here to stock up on some photography equipment while I stayed in New York City after accidentally leaving some of it at home! Was blessed to find this place and the assistant was extremely helpful in my hour of need! Was not as expensive as I thought it may be given the the size of the shop!

Joe Herman: Extremely helpful and knowledge. 5+ stars.

justin berthelin: This store no longer exists, replaced by an audio store

Michel Belzile: Must see this place when I'm in New York

Umeshwar Ramrookum: I love this store, they have a huge variety of products to satisfy all your needs.

Eddy Matos: The Best place on Earth to produce

Dave Leachman: The Candy Store for Photographers. My go to store. If you get to NY and you are a photographer, this is a must visit!

Paola: ... Perhaps they price match?

sheldon Clemendore: Very interesting bunch

Pablo Andrés Riera Arévalo: Highly recommended for buying technology and video.

Venecia Del Rosario: This store has everything you need at great prices. I love the convenience of this location and their customer service.

Antoine Benoit-Godet: So many choices!!!

Ralph Alswang: The go to stop in NYC for all photo-Video equipment needs!

Tucker Patton: was just okay, but not what I had hoped for. When I sought assistance and received a sales associate's recommendation to try the ASUS ZenScreen OLED 15.6" HDR Portable Monitor, I was in for an even bigger disappointment. The monitor was pixelated, with poor color quality and lacking the necessary sharpness for my intended use.Given the subpar quality of the ASUS monitor, I decided to return it in pristine condition, with all original packaging intact. However, B&H made the return process a complete nightmare. They claimed the serial numbers didn't match during their inspection, and thus, they refused to accept the return. I had to endure countless phone calls and emails as they struggled to resolve their communication issues with the manufacturers. To make matters worse, they sent the monitor back to me without any prior notification.This ordeal has lasted for a month and a half, and I am now left with not one but two screens that fail to meet my expectations. B&H's handling of this situation and their challenging return program have left me feeling utterly frustrated and disillusioned with the company. I will never trust them with my business again and strongly caution others from making the same mistake. Instead of the excellent service I once knew, I encountered a company that fails to take responsibility for their mistakes and disregards their loyal customers' needs. Steer clear of B&H!"

Christine D: Excellent service !

barbara Rice: Always the best experience

Kayla Moore: I waited a few days before submitting this to see if they would fix and it has not been resolved..so here is my review.I asked if all cords & remote were included prior to the purchase of a used sound bar that I wanted to buy as I could not tell exactly by the description of the item, I received confirmation via a chat with Sam S. that it was a “yes to all your questions” and that was the deciding factor for moving forward with the purchase because why would I buy it without the cords that make it work..I obviously want to use it, its not a decorative piece.When I got the bar delivered, the adapter to make the actual thing work was not included-I got the subwoofer cord but not the bar cord. I called and they said that it wasn't included even though I specifically asked prior to purchase if all cords were included for this reason. Super frustrating. Why would you not mention it and be more specific on what’s not/is included, it wouldn't be that difficult to update that on the website OR TO MENTION IT ON THE CHAT-seems shady to me. Sam S. on the chat team should really look into things before responding willy nilly to things they obviously do not know.Lastly, the lack of follow through on my calls about this was another nail in the coffin-if you would have fixed this issue for me or at the very least kept me updated then it would have been a 5 star review because everything else was great.

s s: パスポート用の証明写真を撮って頂きましたが、スタッフさんもとても親切でした。15分かからない程度で、出来上がりも早かったです。費用は$17ほどでしたが、CVSなどより安心感もありおすすめです。

Richard Penman: My passport photo from CVS was rejected by the embassy and I was recommended to come here. Their photo was much better quality and they will also email you a digital copy for no extra cost.

Miki Ikeda: 昔からある証明写真屋さん。オーナーさんはとてもフレンドリーで、私や家族のパスポート写真もここでお願いしました。あと、証明写真関係だけでなく、VHSテープからDVD変換サービスもしているので、大事な昔の記録ビデオも忘れないうちに変換しました。サービスとクオリティーに大満足です。

Christopher Burfoot: Little expensive for two passport sized photos. But the service was quick.

愛里桐生: Amazing service!

Michael Tang: Solid passport shop. They found the right colored background required for my passport photo.

Jennie Lin: Had a successful trip here to take Taiwan passport photos. The owner clearly knows exactly what's needed for each country's quirky photo requirements. It was quick and professional, I was done in about 15 minutes. Don't be put off by the small spot: you will get what you need!

Jayme Wheezer: Fast and quick!! DOI was suggested by the embassy to take a pic asap for a passport. Prices are very appropriate. Let’s not forget it’s in a prime location in midtown. Very friendly ladies here too.

Allanah: until picture time. Other customers must wait outside to avoid crowding area.Expect some delays.

Dennis Wong: Great place for passport and visa photos.

Wayne Lang: Only place in metro area to have your Australian passport photos taken. Don't be deceived by size of store only around 400 square feet. Women owner very nice and helpful.

Gabrielle Goddard: super quick and easy!

Wayne McDonell: Simple. Quick. Quality.

Matthew Hammon: The shop is familiar with a wide range of visa and passport photo requirements but the service is non-existent and they move very slowly. There are plenty of alternatives nearby. I would not recommend this place.

Sam Sturim: The team at FotoCare has been extremely kind and helpful every time I've crossed paths with them. Super professional and happy to assist with any questions I may have had. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Robert Peterson: Great prices and the staff is super helpful and pleasant. Was recommended from a pro photographer and was so glad I went here. I bought a Fuji GFX lens about a year ago.

nick parisse: Always good to me.

Daniel Acita: geniuses

Rida Ali: This location has the FUJIFILM Fujicolor Superia 400 Color Negative Film - 3 pack at a reasonable price. I tried to find it everywhere else but couldn’t, I’m glad they have it. Very professional and friendly staff. Definitely coming back!!

Adam De Leon: Scored my Fujifilm X100V from here. John is a pleasure to work with and the entire FotoCare team is very responsive and reliable. I'm in love with my camera now but if I ever want another Fuji, I'll only pick it up from here.

Steven Jacob: it’s like renting from your own family

Joe Llama: Great, knowledgeable, friendly staff!

John Hwang: These guys will take care of you. John Coscia was a pleasure to work with and provided exceptional service. Thanks for the call for the Fujifilm x100V! I will be sure to comeback for any camera needs in the future.

Drew Aichele: I’ve never bought anything here but I know a lot of people who have. They keep going back. And sometimes I have to drive them there because they like going so much and will fill a car up with all the new gadgets. Seems fun. I prefer grocery stores though.

Casey McClean: Amazing customer service. Quick turnaround on my order for the highly sought after FujiFilm 100v. Placed my order on 1/31/23 and received my camera today 2/9/23! I called the day after I placed my order and was told to be patient and I would hear from someone when they got down the list. So I waited and then got an email a couple days later saying I was on the preorder list and once it was ready to ship I would get another email. Got my shipping email yesterday and my camera was on hand the next day! Thank you!!

Berk Atikoglu: Their customer service is amazing.

Piotr Gajos: Excellent online / phone shopping experience. I got a Fujifilm X100V in mere 1 week, which is pretty much a miracle these days. John was super transparent, helpful and gracious throughout the process.

Linus L: Very professional and friendly staff had a great experience there thank you.

Michael Parks: I've got to give a huge thank you Oscar, Eduardo, and Fred for fixing a huge issue in my broken camera in the middle of a paid photo shoot. Thanks to their quick service, I was able to get to the repair shop and back to the shoot fast enough to finish my photoshoot as expected and on time.I'm definitely likely to come here again
