I consistently had friendly and satisfying experiences. Once you walk into the shop and start talking to any staff member, you immediately have that feel good experience. Yes, their staff is that good. They never ever pressure anyone (I've noticed many times) to purchase the product they may have spent over 30 mins explaining.

Sauter is a photographers dream. It really is an institution. You won't find better consulting and…read moreexpertise anywhere else. The people who work here KNOW their stuff. You can mention any camera, any brand, any lens, any camera equipment and you will find someone who knows when that lens was first released, who built it, when there was a fallout in the lens company and the co-founders went their own way, both of the founders mothers name and so forth. Leica, Hasseblad, Pentax, medium format, film cameras, anything you can name, they have it and if anything is released they're the first to have it. But wait, there is more, as you can rent certain cameras or lenses before buying them, which gives you an incredible amount of freedom to find just the right equipment for you. Or you can buying second hand cameras, lenses, adapters, while the selection isn't comparable to ebay, it sure beats ebay as you can actually test the stuff you are about to buy and can make sure they still work properly. The only downside is that everything is ticket price. And they don't do price matching to the extent that Saturn/Medimarkt&co. do to compete with the mighty Amazon. So it's the perfect place to do your research, test out the equipment and if you want to support this institution from bankruptcy, buy. But for those of us who lack the funds, we shall have to wait the day until we have the funds and resort to buying from the interwebs till then. Because Sauter is really a place that ought to be supported, it's the camera equivalent of a great old book store who struggles due to Amazon.

The whole experience was not pleasant. I had gone to Sauter in 2007 for my German visa pictures and…read moreremembered them being very friendly and helpful (even though I didn't speak German). So naturally I thought to go there again for more Visa photos. Unfortunately, despite speaking German this time, they were incredible rude and overpriced!!! The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because (1) the photos were useable and (2) It was relatively quick. Negatives: (1) Rude and unfriendly employers (2) overpriced: less than 5 minutes of work cost 23€ for 6 visa photos. They charge a premium for the visa photos compared to normal passport photos and I really feel its taking advantage a bit since its not as easy to do those yourself in the machines on every corner. Next time I will try another place.

He showed me a backpack which is a lil bit over my price range so I asked him if there is a backpack that is almost as good as the one he showed me but lower in price. Her gave me the only answer you wanna hear. "Yea you can buy a cheaper backpack but I cannot guarantee your equipment is safe." The backpack he showed me he is certain it will provide me a good service. Even that I left without buying something, I definitely will be back when I need something. Thanks for good service.

The shop is small but it's more a treasure hunt if you know which brand or which product that you're looking for.
