I went to Bozeman Camera for the first time about a month ago because I thought I was having a problem with my Tamron 150-600mm lens. Scott helped me with the problem which happened to be a combination of environmental and a loose nut behind the shutter (me). He took the time to take some photos with my camera and also told me where the lens' "sweet spot" was. Scott spent about an hour with me and I found him very knowledgeable and patient. He answered all of my questions and in the end I purchased a UV filter for my lens at Scott's recommendation. Just yesterday, I decided to purchase a new tri pod for my DSLR, and I wasn't doing Amazon. Bozeman Camera has earned my business while I'm here for the season, even though it's a 3 hour round trip drive from Gardiner. Great store, great service, and great employees. I highly recommend Bozeman Camera for any of your photography needs. read more

unfortunately I can not give a favorable review of bozeman camera in my case. Contacted then about bringing a camera in to be looked at and see what they would offer since I did not need it. The info I was given was totally misleading and deceptive, told one set of information and told one set amounts that would be offered based off the expected value they would sell it for. First off was never told I would be charged for them to look at the camera so thats first deceptive action, second I was told a percentage that would be paid on the value they would be selling the camera at . After 80+ mile drive one way I have to pay for them to look at it, then they low ball the price which is obviously not what they would put it out for sale for, and then after low balling the value , the percentage that they offered on their low ball value was approximately half of what I was told by staff member on the phone before I made the trip. So unfortunately I can not give any favorable opinion of them since all I got was misleading and deceptive practices and then low ball treatment, I will not be even considering them for any sort of business in the future and would recommend others to be cautious and possibly avoid them for business since my opinion of how I was treated was bottom tier, investigate them before doing business, and get any info that you get over the phone in writing or recorded before wasting time goingin to them, all I can say is the one that waited on me was very polite , but that does not change the deception I recieved during the whole ideal. read more

I ended up buying a Canon RF 24-70 at this location. The staff was friendly over the phone and luckily had that lens to rent before purchase. I rented the lens on Saturday and returned Monday and made my purchase. I also bought a Hoya lens cover. Great spot especially when you're coming from California. If I'm ever back at Bozeman, I will for sure drop in for my next purchase read more

Simply the best service and expertise. Have been a long time customer and will continue that loyalty with the great company

Incredible shop and knowledgeable staff. An impressive resource for Bozeman photographers.

I suppose we'll see if I update this review to 5 stars or not. I've spent thousands of dollars in this store as I take pride in spending my money somewhat locally. I have to drive 90 miles to shop here. I could easily sit in my couch and purchase from B&H online. I called 2 days in advance to let them know would be in Saturday and took an entire professional Sony kit new retail price pushing $15,000. I planned on upgrading to new Canon. I have all the boxes and 99% of the items with them. I was told we can get to this by next week we have to see what comes in as far as traffic and customers today. So I'm not a customer? I understand you have a business to run taking in used gear is part of your business, moving new gear is part of your business. As professional photographer and film maker spending thousand on gear and doing it locally I felt like my needs were completely put aside. Zero effort. I hope that the $40 tripod you sold while my gear was sitting on a cart was worth the thousands I planned on spending there in the future. See you in a week I guess. Edit: I received a phone call from the owner same day and he was very apologetic about my experience, I appreciate his due diligence and customer care. I will be headed back to update my kit. Thank you Bozeman Camera I read more

Great camera shop close to Yellowstone. Thanks for your help. Well staffed with knowledgeable associates. Great inventory of used eq.

I live in Colorado and was traveling through Bozeman. I was having a small issue with the Canon RC-6 remote for my EOS 70D. The person (I think the owner) did a very quick troubleshooting and solved the problem. He wouldn't let me pay for his time and expertise. He and the two other employees smiled and greeted me. Very friendly atmosphere. I wish this could be my go to camera store. Extensive inventory and wonderful service.! read more

As an as avid amateur photographer, I had been contemplating buying a new camera but just didn't feel like pulling the trigger on a major purchase lately. Was in Bozeman for a family vacation and realized it might be time to pull the trigger and get a better camera for the vacation and start getting better pictures than my current iPhone 11pro offers. iPhone is not bad quality but not perfect. I have used Canon EOS pro level gear for years but stopped carrying it around because my EOS 1Ds mk II with L lenses is just so heavy and bulky to carry around. Anyway I went into this little hidden gem of a camera shop not expecting to find much in this little town. Boy was I surprised. You name it, they have it. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the gear they had. They had everything from 40yr old manual focus Nikkor lenses and FD canon lenses to state of the art full frame mirrorless systems. I price checked everything and this shop is competitive with KEH and B&H with the added benefit of NO STATE SALES TAX. I walked out with a new EOS R5 body and a couple lenses and EF adapter so all my older pro lenses remain usable. I would have had decent but substandard pics on this vacation with my iPhone, but instead check out the Grizzly I captured with a 45MP beast of a camera at 240mm. If you're a photography connoisseur, you'll love this place. No regrets. Highly recommended. read more

Bozeman Camera - Grizzly bear! Raw file is spectacular when reviewed at high resolution. - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Friendly and professional service with good advice. We bought a small digital camera here after breaking ours in Yellowstone. Fair pricing!

I have been dealing with Bozeman camera shop since 1999 up till this year they have been very helpful. I have spent at least 10000 with them 2018 I purchased a $900 24/70 sigma lens. So the point is every year when I go to Montana I go in and buy $600 to a $1000 from them. THIS year I went in wanting to upgrade my t3I to an 80d [the t3i had been purchased from them] I was treated like I was some bum off the street I did not feel the owner was giving me a fair trade in for my t3i however the conversation was cordial But the salesman that I have mean dealing with for years just vanished and never returned , I need some more stuff , He did not return so I just left and will probably never return Joe Alford Pahrump Nv read more

Passing through Bozeman and needed some accessories - found everything I needed (and then some) and knowledgeable/helpful staff. Wish I could be a regular! read more

Wonderful service. Went in looking for a filter and left with a new lens. The sales person showed my how to use it and even cleaned the lens I already had. I wish I lived in Bozeman, I'd spend all my time here. read more

I made a special trip here after flying into Helena from California and heading down to Big Sky. Camera badly needed cleaning. Stopped in late afternoon and when I picked the camera up 90 minutes later, I found that they not only cleaned my camera but also replaced a part that was damaged. I paid a little extra for the "rush job" but the total price was very fair, as were the parts and other replacement and cleaning items I purchased. The guys were extremely professional, knowledgable and friendly. The store was well-stocked with a wide variety of items. I highly recommend this camera shop. I was so grateful for their help. read more

Wow! What a great place! My first trip to Big Sky, MT and I pull my camera out of the bag to realize I had dropped it on the lens and shattered the UV filter. Found Bozeman Camera on my phone and stopped in. They did a full inspection of the camera, cleaned out the broken glass, and showed me a MUCH better UV filter, as well as a few tips to ensure it doesn't break again. While waiting for the repair, I spoke with a gentleman named Gary who blew me away with his knowledge on flashes, and basically gave me an entire lesson on how the flash can integrate with my Canon 70D. My wife is going to kill me, but I went in for a simple fix on the filter and walked out with over $400 of new accessories. These guys are the best! Thank you so much for saving my ski vacation! Hope to be back next year. read more

Went into the store on a whim, looking for a wide angle lens. The owner, Marshall, was so helpful and knowledgeable and offered expert advice. I felt so comfortable talking to him and he did not push the most expensive equipment on me. He showed me several different options & let me choose. This is a top rate camera store. He even offered me advice (cleaned up my camera body a little for me) on my existing equipment!! read more

As someone who's done productions all over the world, I've found Bozeman Camera to be the best in terms of friendly, knowledgeable and earnest "anything we can do for you" customer service I've come across, even with our team's relatively tough demands and time constraints! HIGHLY recommend. Nico H read more

Super helpful! Took the time to diagnose and fix a problem I'd been having with my Nikon. Thanks!!

Great place for a camera! We were in the market for an entry dslr and immediately were helped by Brian. He was so knowledgeable and explained the features to us so we could understand what we wanted. I had researched online but it is so much better to see and feel the camera before buying. I am partial to Canon and the camera Brian recommended was also on special and with an instant rebate - we got the Rebel t5. Being from Butte, it was definitely worth the trip to Bozeman to invest in a new camera. We will return for future purchases. read more

We were easterners on a vacation trip to attend a family wedding in Livingston. My workhorse Canon 18-55mm lens lost the ability to communicate with my Canon T3i DSLR body (other lenses worked fine), so I needed a replacement pronto. These guys saved my bacon. They had a used EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens for sale for about a THIRD of what I was expecting to have to spend (remember, I'm an easterner!). That plus a used UV filter (I've never encountered "used" filters before) and I was on my way in 15 minutes. DEE-lightful! read more

I recently had to take photos at a wedding and wanted to rent high quality lenses and a camera that could shoot in any lighting. I had checked some online rental companies but they had high rates, high deposits, and extra fees at every corner. So I looked local and found Bozeman Camera. From start to the finish they were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I told them what kind of photos I would be taking and they gave me recommendations and tips. I highly recommend Bozeman Camera for your next rental. read more
