I'd give a zero but that's not an option. Charged us $25 ($26.50 with tax) for a screw that we…read moredidn't use. When we took the kit the prior day, they made us take photos of the kit, yet when it was returned, they told us they couldn't see the small ziploc bag that held all the screws in the image we took so we had to pay. Neither the "missing" screw nor the riser plate that is its proprietary mate work on the camera we used. There was no amount of looking or proving that it had been returned by whomever had used it before on their part, just the assumption that we didn't return something we didn't use. if you're planning to use this company (and I would advise against it), INSIST that they scan EVERYTHING BEFORE you take it and after you return it. I have no doubt that this has happened more than once. Quite honestly, $26.50 isn't going to break the bank, but it's the principle and the lack of scrutiny of their own practices.

Pretty solid camera store for hobbyists, enthusiasts, or simply dabblers. Wide range of equipment…read moreavailable packed into a decently sized and well organized space. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and served fairly quickly. Only downside imo was that there were some premiums attached to some goods, like clearly selling some new items above msrp. I am not sure if this was just due to the difficulty in acquiring them, or if it's typical due to it being DC, but just beware that pricing may not be the best. Despite this though, it is always great to have a brick and mortar shop like this to come and explore, and I will likely return for future needs and recommend people go check out for themselves.

My compact digital camera is about 14 years old, an Elph300Hs which I bought for myself as a…read moregraduation present from UDC in 2011. Powershot was great back in the day when High Dynamic Zoom was still novel. I should have figured out how to transport files remotely but I never fully investigated this option. My camera was from Penn Camera when it was in downtown. That salesperson was so nice, and so I purchased a few extra accessories at the time. Anyway, this is not supposed to be a full obit for my camera. Recently I kept getting "data capacity limit reached" messages on the battery so it clearly needed to be changed, and so I came into District Camera for a battery. They said there were no Canon batteries available, but for $30 I could purchase a Pro Master Replacement for Canon NB-4L. Since I had purchased a lousy Chinese smartphone battery replacement for my phone last year, I didn't want to spring for this. I expected some kind of funky thing for sure: overheating, short functioning time, etc. I was not far wrong! DO YOUR HOMEWORK! The batteries ARE AVAILABLE AT USA.CANON.COM! If I had bought the bona fide Canon battery ($70) maybe my camera would not have overheated and I would not have had the new error that showed up: "Lens Error"! That is the message like "white screen of death" on a blog! I cannot get the lens to retract no matter how many times I put the batteries (trying with the old one or the new one) inside. There is no "reset" for the camera. Its "Power is Shot." Retrorevival.ca has an article about a possible Lens Error repair: https://www.retrorevival.ca/2025-retro-revival-repair-blog-articles/202509/24/canon-powershot-elph-350hs-lens-error However I have not the patience nor stamina to take this camera apart. It is feeling "hot" to the touch once I put the batteries in and turn it on, and yes, it was making a clicking noise before it totally "shut down" just like Retrorevival describes. Now that lens retraction won't happen, I can no longer do anything with the digital screen. It just turns back off. I am not going to blame District Camera---heavens knows we can use some camera store in downtown DC. There used to be several, up to five specialty photography shops, and computer repair stores, but now, once a repair is needed, good luck, even at Best Buy. Do Your Homework! Shop online for the camera you desire, then find which store (if any) you can order it from! Probably Canon is doing a brisk business online. But District Camera does offer "refurbished cameras." Their service is very busy, and it is very snappy. Don't expect the most patient clerks. They did sell me a Pro Master Multi Card reader one time, and also a Re-Fuel Digital Camera Travel Charger for reasonable prices and both at times when they were suddenly needed. But right now, I just have to get over realizing I need to buy a new camera, and see that as a great way to learn more about photography. And sure, I'll start at https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/digital-cameras.
