Best Places To Buy Cameras In 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

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.

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.

Sarai St Surin: I’m so happy I discovered that store. Everyone is so nice, it’s a welcoming place and the prices are affordable. If you’re looking for affordable, authentic good quality luxury brand, this store is for you. Maya is so nice, ask for Maya when you go there❤️

Johnny Kes: Lowballed half the price of retail on dead stocklightning 4s lol it was laughable. Offered $120. Thenwouldn't budge last $140 it was comical honestly. Idkwhat clowns run that place. I even tried to make smalltalk about off white shoes and strike up a conversation.The workers had the lame personality of a paper towel.Not true collectors. In it for the money. A bunch ofclowns. Trying to take advantage of people. If yourreading this stick to round two. I literally clicked sell onstock X as I was walking out and got 244.37 after allfees paid out. They also have friends write fake reviewsfor them. I was in the store when I overheard them aska friend to post.

Kevin Garcia: Got low balled and the buyer new it. At least he was cool. However, definitely a different experience from before. You win some and you lose some.

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.

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

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!

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