This was my first time visiting Action Camera and I had such a great time from start to finish. I called ahead before coming in and had a really fun and helpful conversation with Christina. I was getting ready for a large event and realized I did not have exactly what I needed. She immediately reassured me that they had the right items and made the situation feel easy and stress free. When I arrived, I was genuinely impressed. The store is spacious, well organized, and full of amazing gear. I enjoyed taking my time walking through each aisle and exploring. It honestly felt like being in one of my favorite stores and just having fun while shopping. The customer service here is excellent, and the value is just as strong. Everything was clearly explained, the recommendations made sense, and I felt confident that I was getting exactly what I needed at a fair price. I went in looking for two items and left with a few more simply because the options and value were that good. Christina was wonderful to work with in person. She was knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the whole visit a really positive experience. I will absolutely be coming back. Action Camera is a great place and I highly recommend it. read more

Action Camera - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My husband wanted to shop for a new camera for elopement photos he was taking for some friends. He saw the most recent Sony had come out, and he wanted to hold it in his hands before making a purchase. So off the Action Camera we went! We both adore the smell of a camera shop. Action Camera feels mildly chaotic when you walk in, but it's quickly contained as you walk down the isles. From camera straps, to camera bags, to fun album books, this store is truly fun to explore! I feel like it's always tidy and finding what you need is made customer friendly. Our buying experience was excellent. The value of the camera my husband was looking at was the same price as on Amazon. We choose to shop local as often as we can, and we were delighted when Action Camera had the camera in stock. They offered to clean the old one while we were purchasing the new one. It was a nice touch to add when we were going to be spending a sizeable amount. Overall, our experience was great! So many of the staff feel like camera enthusiasts too! They are knowledgeable and enjoyable to speak with. If you can, always shop local! read more

I LOVE Action Camera. All of the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and so very helpful. In this age of online everything it's SO nice to have a local resource to talk to when you really need a live person to help you troubleshoot. The quality of their printing services is excellent and fast. I'm a professional photographer and am happy with the quality of their prints. Their gear rental service and buy-back programs are also SO helpful. I don't know what I'd do without them! Thank you Action Camera! read more

recently attended a stellar class at Action Camera, and I can't express how transformative the experience was! Before the class, I felt completely lost with my camera, but in just two hours, I walked away with a solid understanding of how to use it effectively. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making complex concepts easy to grasp. Beyond the class, the team at Action Camera went above and beyond to assist me in finding the perfect products to enhance my photography needs. They took the time to understand what I was looking for and provided tailored recommendations that truly made a difference in my shooting experience. Additionally, when I found myself in a pinch needing a quick flash drive for my 35th high school reunion , the team at Action Camera was there to help me out. Their prompt service and willingness to accommodate my needs truly impressed me. Overall, I love Action Camera! Their exceptional customer service, knowledgeable staff, and commitment to helping customers succeed in their photography journey make them a top-notch choice for anyone looking to up their photography game. Highly recommend! read more

The employees spoke to my teenager, not down to her. They answered all her questions, made suggestions based on what she was looking for and they didn't try to upsell her. They even made suggestions for lenses they didn't carry because they might be a better fit for what my daughter was looking for. She later took a class put on by them and had nothing but praise for the instructor and models. She said she learned new techniques, ways to improve her style as well as expand it. I highly recommend this business. read more

Excellent service and very helpful staff. I went there for film development, and I was told that the turnaround would be 48 hours, but I received an email that my photos were ready on my way back home! read more

I love action camera! I love using their self serve printing station and the people here are amazingly nice and helpful

best place to develop film in town! brought in 5 rolls of film the other day and was told they were pretty busy and it could take longer than normal to get my pictures, but i still got them that same day. price is great - $9 to develop + $10 if you want digital scans. plus they email the digitals directly to you instead of giving you a cd or flash drive. will definitely be returning. read more

Quick in and out to get a camera bag.... Nice these places still exist. Amazon was an awesome option but wanted to try the camera on the bag

Action Camera - C-Stand and grip - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Reno, Nevada

See all

I brought in a box of slides to get digitized and Action Camera was great! They were friendly, timely, and honest with how much it would cost to get over 300 slices digitized. I could have bought the machine to digitize them but didn't have the time to do it myself. The pictures turned out great and priceless to have those memories more easily accessible to the rest of the family just by downloading them from a link. It's nice to have a camera store in town that can still do this sort of thing! read more

i just went into the store with my girlfriend, since she's looking to purchase her first camera. we both loved that the store had cameras you can actually try out! really helped in making a final decision. kristina helped us out and really made the experience for us. she was very patient, and knowledgeable. her service was really what drove this review!! will definitely be returning! read more

i went into the store looking for a good beginner camera for an upcoming trip. i loved that they had multiple models that you can actually try out and demo! kristina (hope i'm spelling that right) helped us out and was so sweet!! she answered any and all of our questions and was incredibly patient. she helped me to feel confident in the decision i was making, and was extremely knowledgeable! would definitely recommend if you're looking at cameras or have questions you need answered. 11/10 experience! read more

All star team excellent customer service. I've been a customer for a few years and they have been nothing but helpful and friendly!

This is the place for all your camera/film/development needs. I popped into this place for the first time today and was blown away by the selection of cameras and lenses. It's a small shop but packed full. I came in for some 35mm film, since it's easier and cheaper than ordering online. I was in and out quickly and got some decent advice. They also do develop film for $8 - something that almost no local place does anymore. The man that helped me behind the counter was great, and I heard other staff in the store helping customers when needed. Great place, and I'll definitely be back when I'm ready to get a new camera! read more

These guys are absolutely amazing and helpful. Would completely recommend any camera needs to come here. They also rent equipment!!! 10/10

What a gem of a place! I so appreciated that they carried Ektar 100 as I've often had to special order it and I am quite a loyalist to ISO 100. Even when the lighting barely permits it, I try to make it work anyways lol. Staff at this establishment were quite friendly and it was a peaceful and quick visit. read more

Hands down the best customer service ever. This is how everyone should treat their customers. I cannot say enough nice things about the entire staff at this location. We don't even live in Nevada but we are going here for any camera needs we have from now on. read more

Love this store. Love the classes. I took 3 milky way classes this summer. Aaron went to each person to make sure they were getting sharp photos. He walked everyone through how to set up our cameras and the settings to use. I went back to the store to get help with editing some of these photos. Aaron helped me several times get it right. Love this store and everyone there. read more

INCREDIBLE CONSUMER EXPERIENCE!! I'm Tech Challenged, needed picture enlarged from flash drive. Aaron was AWESOME from the get go!! I had screwed up the transfer from my PC to the drive, and the picture didn't show up, because it was wrong format from my iPhone. MOST would have thrown in the towel right then, and sent me home to change the format and come back. NOT Aaron!! Went in the back room, worked a little "magic" like the "Computer Wizard" he was, and PRESTO-CHANGE-O, were in business... with NO RETURN TRIP FOR ME!! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED-CHALLENGE SOLVED!! Walked out with awesome picture and frame!! Aaron and crew were awesome!! Fun, high energy place, and expert knowledge!! read more

Stellar shop. Stellar selection. More importantly the staff are insanely knowledgeable, quick to help, ready to educate for the best possible selection for your personal needs. A must visit to see for yourself. All facts read more

Went in to get film developed and it was sent to me the same day! Great service, price and product selection!

Last week I attended a Milky Photo class lead by Aaron at Action Camera. Fun evening and learned a lot. I had never tried light painting. Aaron did the heavy lifting by running all over the place with the lights, making our job pretty easy. We just had to man our cameras and take the shot. Thanks Aaron! read more

I wanted a new (expensive) camera and was looking at Best Buy, Amazon, and also Action Camera. Turns out the prices were the same at all three, and since I really like to support local business when possible, it was an easy choice to buy it from Action Camera. The service was great, the staff are knowledgeable about the products they sell (you won't get that at a big box store) and they had what I wanted in stock. The biggest benefit from buying from Action Camera came later when I thought I had an issue with my camera. I went back to see my original salesman (Brian) and he took the time to listen to my issue and then thoroughly investigate it with me. He didn't brush me off, but went to pains to see if it really was a problem. We experimented with equipment from their rental program and found out that my "issue" was really an operator error/operator expectation issue, and there was nothing wrong with the camera. That sort of service is not possible with either Best Buy or Amazon. Thanks for the great service! read more

Keep your business local everyone! There's no need to buy online when you've got a great crew of people right here in Reno that appreciate your business. If you want to see and buy all the new awesome equipment on the market, they've got it! Fantastic after-the-sale support too; that's just as important when you're investing in this kind of equipment! They also offer interesting classes both onsite and on location that are affordable, well organized and packed with helpful information. There's always lots to check out. I highly recommend Action Camera. Paul F. read more

This place is really neat and definitely seems like the place to go for professional camera/photography advice. I bought a bunch of disposable cameras for my wedding that I needed developed and didn't have luck at some of the chain stores since that service has largely been discontinued or contracted out. As far as I can tell, Action Camera is the only local place that develops film themselves. They turned everything around pretty quickly and were really helpful explaining the different options for negatives, photo development, receiving digital copies, etc. read more

Very kind and helpful staff. Prompt and convenient film development, and prices that match major online retailers. They make it easy to support local. Can't recommend them enough! read more

I recently bought a used DSLR camera and visited Action Camera in Reno, NV. to look for filters. This is my first DSLR camera, so there is a learning curve. While there, I noticed an advertisement on basic photography training (2.5hr). That Saturday, I took the first course with my wife, and it was excellent. The instructor said he had a second course, same name, that was more advanced on Wednesday evening (2.5 hrs.). It too was excellent. When I asked at the counter if there was any additional training, they said they offered a city walk with the same instructor (signed up for that immediately, and an introduction to Adobe LightRoom (LrC) on the next Saturday. So I signed up for that too. Action Camera even contacted me on Thursday to confirm my attendance. At no time did anyone say the class was 4+ hours long, only that you needed a computer. I was expecting an introduction to photo processing in LrC. However, the instructor started off the class by saying that he was only going to introduce the interface and organization, and NOT going to discuss the processing of photographs. He later said that we would be taking a lunch break and end at 5:00 pm. I was unprepared for this as I didn't bring my power supply for my computer and I had another appointment at 3:30 pm. 2.5 hrs. on my 6 year old computer is no problem, but 4+ hours is not going to work. After my computer died, I was wasting my time. Warning, if you take a course at Action Camera, make sure you ask specific questions about the course, like how long is the course (start and finish times), who is teaching, and what do you need to bring. I ended up leaving and wasting both time and money for something I could have gotten off of YouTube in a 15 minute video. Unfortunately, Action Camera is the only Photography store in Reno or I'd take my business elsewhere. read more

I'd like to give a shout out to Aaron Harris at Reno Action Camera. I have gone to several of his Milky Way workshops. He has always been very helpful and has a great knowledge of all the different cameras and tripods. My Milky Way photos have improved tremendously and also my understanding of my camera. I had a problem with my bear photos because I was shooting in the early morning light. I went to Action Camera Reno and Aaron helped me to understand what I was doing incorrectly. I had my ISO too high and so it was very grainy So I cut down the ISO which opened up my aperture and hopefully the bears weren't moving too fast... Thank you again Aaron for your assistance. I really appreciate it.... I would recommend anyone to attend his workshops. MaryLou read more

This is a great camera shop with friendly and helpful employees. josh helped me diagnose a problem I was having with one of my lenses. The next time I'm in need of some photo gear, I'm coming back to support this local business instead of ordering online! read more

Action Camera in Reno is the best. Aaron and all of the guys and girls that work there go out of their way to help you. I have been going there for a few years for camera equipment and advice. I have been asking for help lately with setting up my camera and advice on shooting settings, Aaron has taken so much time to go over things with me to see that I get the best shots possible, explaining different ways to get certain shots. I have also picked up some filters and other accessories that I have been needing for a while that will allow me to do the type of photos I want. Their knowledge about digital photography has allowed me to advance my photo taking. I love the Bargain Bin, found 2 ND filters for $10 each, amazing deal, just had to clean them a bit. I definitely recommend them to anyone in the Reno - Tahoe area for any photo gear and advice. read more

We purchased an hour of one-on-one lessons with a camera my daughter received as a gift but we knew nothing about. We left it with Brian for an extra day so they could get familiar with it and the lesson (both the money and time) was well worth it. He showed her so much - both about her specific camera and photography in general. He didn't try to upsell or get us to spend other money, it truly was a great lesson and just what she needed and we paid for. With that said, he guaranteed we will be doing all our future camera shopping at Action Camera!! read more

This place is all time. I came in to get 2 rolls of film developed and left with the best experience I've had in a camera store and a new film camera! Aaron was so incredibly helpful and patient with me while he taught me how to set up my new film camera and explained all the film options to me! Wouldn't recommend any other place for all camera/ photography needs. This place is the best. read more

I have bought two lenses, a tri-pod and other camera equipment from Action Camera in Reno, and have had warranty work performed through them. Brian, Aaron, Eduardo and Katie have been very helpful in assisting me, answering my numerous questions and raising appropriate issues. They each pay attention to detail, are thorough, responsive and encouraging. I have taken an astral photography class from Aaron, and again, he was encouraging, helpful and responsive. For a relatively new photographer, my experience with Action Camera has been nothing short of excellent, on several levels. read more

Looking forward to coming back for their classes and to maybe invest in some toys. I came in because my canon had been having some issues taking pictures and I was at a loss if it was broken, dirty, etc. the gal who helped me (I can't remember her name unfortunately ) was very kind and patient. She did a thorough check of the camera and turns out it was a simple fix. She didn't even charge me anything. The place was filled with lots of goodies and in a large shopping center close to the mall. Tons of parking ! read more

The guys who work here are literally the best. So kind, professional, and go out of their way to help you. They're so knowledgeable about film and all my rolls turn out beautifully. I don't wanna get them developed anywhere else! Couldn't recommend them enough. read more

This is 1 of 2 camera store Reno has to offer. I love both of em. And Cameras stores can be so intimidating but cool at the same time. This store is friendly from amateur photographers to professionals and Even beginners. They even offer to clean your camera sensor for free. Even being a hobbyist myself. I found myself geekin' over what this store had to offer in all aspects of the photo realm. They had so many cool gadgets and camera accessories and "toys." Along with photo backdrops, backpacks and flashes and cool lenses, lights and reflectors. And another cool thing is that they can develop film!! I'm so hyped there's another camera store here!! I'm definitely gonna be a regular here. I came in for replacement sled for my tripod. And having an off brand tripod. I was worried they didn't have my replacement. But they happen to know exactly what sled would fit. And even offered and opened the packaging so I could try it on before I bought it. The customer service was top notch. They staff is a bunch of grown folks, who have seem to love their jobs and the craft of Photography. read more
