Helpful, knowledgeable, and very friendly staff! My salesperson, Patrick, was great and helped me find the right camera. The range of products and services Mike's offers is large, and they make you feel welcome when you come into the store. read more

I feel so well taken care of whenever I come to Mike's. They authentically care that the customer is happy with the quality of a print. Very professional and just a pleasure to work with. Rachel was amazing! I had sent the wrong image in for a 16" x 20 canvas...clearly my fault! Rachel made it right and redid the print! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Really grateful! read more

I had a printing situation and I spoke to EJ on the phone, who was incredibly sweet and helpful! I always love everyone at this location but a special shout out to EJ, Leo, and Jayden for their level of professionalism but also for their kindness! read more

Great place we have used for years, over various ownerships and managements. Today we just needed some simple services as my husband had a photo to print as a gift and I needed a frame for print I had already made, also for gift. We happened to run into their spring sale and supplier demos. It was really fun to see all the vendors, still setting up as we arrived just after opening there was plenty of staff to help with routine purchases as well as tech help with the upload for my husband's project. I found the perfect frame for my project and a deal at 25% off. Mike's had been our regular shop for over 30 years. And ample free parking, a Boulder rarity! read more

Really slow. I ordered and paid for an 8 x 10 print. Nothing fancy, just one print. It took them 2 and a half weeks to get it done.

Took in a newly purchased camera and they were happy to look at it and give me operational pointers. I'm an old man with his first DSLR, so it was a bit of a learning curve. Liked the folks so much I took 3 of their online classes. What a great value. Store is great, customer service was fantastic, and really enjoyed the reasonably priced classes. The Boulder store is a true gem! Sadly, I have no photos of the photo store.... read more

Helpful staff, reasonable pricing. It's a busy place, they provide a wide variety of services.

Excellent customer service! My wife and I just picked up our large metal art to hang on our hallway, and it's perfect! We are both very happy with it. I wish I could give twenty stars instead of five in this review! Paul Rector Lafayette, CO read more

I went and had a passport photo taken there. I am not beauty, but I can honestly say it was the worst photo I have ever had taken in my life. The man who took it said it was the first time he had done it and struggled to get the lights etc. to work. somehow the way he angled the light he expertly created very dark shadows under every line and crevice on my face rather than an even all around light. I had to toss them and have others taken. read more

Today was trade in your old gear day--I felt that they gave a very reasonable trade in value for all of my items. I was able to use the credit to put towards an R7. Customer service: the best place Ive gone to that has staff that actually helps you improve your skills. Hands down Rachel C on the staff has been my go to person. She has taken the time to explained to me the pros and cons of of each Canon cameras that I was interested in. She has never pressured me into buying gear--but instead listened to what I was wanting to achieve with my camera, and made suggestions. With her guidance, I made the leap from a very entry level Canon Rebel T7, to the Canon R7. Thank you for your great selection and outstanding service! I plan to continue shopping at Mike's Camera in Boulder for all of my photography needs. read more

Brian was the absolute BEST!! He provided competent knowledgeable service and recommendations, as well as answered all of my painfully basic questions. I cannot give a higher recommendation. I will be a lifetime customer!!! Thank you! Rob read more

Excellent camera store! They have the same pricing as authorized online dealers on new equipment and personal service and recommendations to back it up! I'll be back when I need another lens! read more

We have gotten two artworks framed here and the final product was excellent. Their prices are pretty competitive and they will do whatever it takes to ensure that you are happy with the service. So 5 stars for customer service. I love working with Krystal in framing, she gives her two cents when requested, is confident and experienced (which is much needed if you don't have much knowledge on framing. Her work hours are limited from Monday to Friday (10am to 5:00pm) so you do need to work around your work schedule but it's time well spent. Your art work will always be ready for pick-up the day they say it will be available. Note: some of their more ornate frames might be even cheaper than the plain ones (it just depends on the vendor and the material quality). Also make sure you pay extra attention to detail when picking your art, things might be a bit unaligned/uncentered (there can be human error) and it's best to catch it and have them fix it. My one high definition art print looked scratched which they printed and framed 3 times. It turned out that the recommended paper was not a good choice for a metal frame. they were even willing to throw in an alternative wood frame for free. Thankfully the issue was resolved and Krystal found a way to frame it. In summary they will make sure you are happy which speaks heaps of the business and their ethics that "customer comes first". read more

EJ is the best! She was so cheerful and so helpful to two clueless people selecting puzzles from prints for our granddaughters. With her help, we will see two happy little girls on Christmas. read more

There's a reason Mike's has such a stellar reputation in Boulder. I bought a very expensive camera there but almost immediately realized it was far beyond my capabilities (600+ page owner's manual). Brought it back and received a full refund no questions asked. If you haven't visited Mike's recently, stop in and be amazed at all they have to offer. A real gem in Boulder. read more

Mike's Camera does the best photography of any place. Their photographs and imaging are the best I've seen. EJ, who I worked with, was so lovely and responsive. She understood exactly what I was looking for and made it happen flawlessly. I appreciated her expertise and beautiful smile. read more

If I could give 6 stars I would. I've been coming to Mike's Camera since moving to Boulder years ago. I've always have good experiences. Two weeks ago, I came in a little distraught. My kids and I moved across town as the result of a highly contentious (and expensive) divorce. I wanted to have some of their artwork framed to make our new place feel like home. I had been to Michael's and was quoted $200+ per picture. I couldn't afford or justify spending $600+. I brought the artwork to Mike's with little hope that they would be less expensive. I was sent upstairs to work with Krystal. She went above and beyond. She is an empath and problem solver, found returned frames on clearance, and was able to beautifully frame the artwork quickly and beautifully. I should mention that one piece is three dimensional and Krystal had no problem figuring out what was best. It looks like a museum piece. Krystal was super communicative, understood my goals and my budget. She understood the emotional distress I was under. Krystal over delivered on her promise, and I'm tearing up just writing this. I wish I could give her a gift rather than an online review. Thank you Krystal. read more

I had Krystal frame some cloth paintings that we got in Africa. She was very knowledgable and helped me pick out what I wanted. They came out amazingly! I would definitly use MIkes again. read more

I appreciate the service and kindness I received at Mike's from Chay! I am not sure how/why but my original order was messed up. I take responsibility for perhaps not understanding the online ordering system, which is a separate issue itself. When I came into Mike's to correct my order, the service I received was above and beyond and a great customer experience. Also, I not been into Mike's for several years and it was a great reminder that no one does it better! The prints -especially the matte with white bordWes are executional and certainly keepsakes! Thank you again, Chay for everything! read more

Chay, Alexis, Ally, and Riely at Mike's Camera in Boulder are the BEST! We worked with Salesperson Chay to print a metal 12X18 skiing picture and wanted it to color match an existing metal picture that was printed in 2013. Chay worked with us to tweak the colors which looked perfect. When we picked up the print we noticed that the colors changed when printed on the metal plate. We went back to Mike's with both the old and new prints and showed Chay who immediately took the old picture along with the digital copy of the new picture to the lab where Alexis, Ally, and Riely quickly did their magic and after only a couple of tries perfectly matched the old picture! We couldn't be happier! Kudos to Chay, Alexis, Ally, and Riely at the Boulder Mike's Camera store! Gene and Barbara H. read more

My experience at Mike's Camera at the Boulder location has been fantastic. A small shop like this can get very busy but we are very fortunate to have such a great shop in town to both browse gear and also buy gear. I went in with the goal of wanting to upgrade my Nikon D7500 to a mirrorless camera next. Rachel and others at the shop generously spent their time with me, allowing me to get my hands on multiple lens at the shop to play and test, educate and answer my hundreds of questions. I was able to rent a Z6ii that week with the 24-70S lens with the FTZ adaptor in order to fully try before I buy. Great shop! Highly recommend for all your photography and gear needs! read more

SHEILA M was the best! Right off the bat, she was friendly and helpful! I was purchasing a Canon 100-400 lens, and she gave me a super simple tutorial as I shot outside to test my lens. I highly recommend Mike's and if you pop in to buy a camera or lens, et cetera, Sheila Mitchell is your gal!(though everyone was wonderful!) read more

Mike's Camera- Boulder - Stoked!!!! Great product. Canon rocks! - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

EJ was terrific. She went above and beyond to help me with my photo and framing project!!

I used their online software to create two calendars in early November. After a week of silence I went into their Boulder chat room and they said contact my pick up store in Denver, Colo Blvd. I get an email from Colo Blvd store saying the whole process takes three weeks. OK. Now into week 4 and still nothing. I call up the Colo Blvd store and talk to some rude dude who says I should call Boulder, the usual run around. I said perhaps I should have used Shutterfly instead, and he called me a "dick" and hung up. Way to go, Mike's Camera. Previous to this I went into Colo Blvd store to get some prints done that a beach photographer took of us in Mexico. There was a lengthy discussion from three sales associates saying they were not sure they could do this for copyright reasons. Finally, after about 15 minutes of back and forth, a voice bellows from the back room saying they would do it. I left my USB and went home, only then to receive a phone call from them that they had changed their mind and now would not do it. I went elsewhere and had them printed overnight. Goodbye Mike's Camera. Forever. read more

Mike's personnel went out of their way to help us with a complicated rush order. We especially appreciated Chay who did everything possible to solve our problems. read more

I would not recommend this place for international passport services. They charge extra for work that is essentially the same--for example, both Indian and U.S. passport photos require the same image size, with the only difference being that Indian photos require the head to cover around 80% of the image. When I asked why they charged more, their only explanation was "because it's for a different country." They did not explain any actual difference in the service provided. This lack of transparency and justification for the extra charge was disappointing. read more

I visited Mikes camera in Boulder with a dead A73. I was waited on by a sales person very quickly. This person was very cordial and interested in my problem. I was very comfortable and at ease with this person. I told the young lady that I was shooting some ducks at a lake and the camera just died, there was no power in the camera. she examined and very quickly decided that the problem was the view finder was dirty ?. She cleaned the finder and the camera came to life. Rachel was that salespersons name. sincerely. Douglas B read more

Today at Mike's, I had the worst retail experience that I can remember in maybe --- years? An employee, Flynn, demanded to look through the items that I had picked out, and then took a lot of them from me... ** in order to buy them for himself **. Yeah, I realize this sounds off-the-wall crazy, but there it is. Eventually, he even wanted to examine every single thing I'd picked out so he could decide whether to take it. But at some point, I got myself together, and refused to let him keep going. I'm still mad -- at him, but also myself for letting this happen. Like, WTF? I was going to talk to him, but then a manager showed up. I let him know what happened. He attempted to make up for it by giving me a $35-ish discount on a couple SD cards I was also buying. Now, though, I wish I'd just walked out and not spent any more money there. I wish I'd just put my hand up to Flynn and said, "Dude, I've decided to buy these. Back off. You're an employee. What the hell are you doing???" - - - - For context, in case anyone wants more details: I was wrapping up a two day shopping spree at Mike's -- a new Nikon mirrorless, a lens, two "rugged" $90 SD cards, an extra Nikon battery, a Peak Design bag, a Peak Design strap, and a second PD bag on order. And maybe another thing or two I've forgotten. It wasn't the biggest sum of money, but it was a lot to me. To be fair, up until Flynn pulled this on me, the service had been great from everyone. Now the items that Flynn got aggressive with me over were these tent sale used filters -- that had been sitting around the store for years -- and were out on a table. I had been in a good mood, and so I got a lens cloth and wrench and was cleaning them (!) and choosing the ones I wanted into a hand-picked pile. The manager and I then made a deal (nice guy!) for me to buy all of them. I liked the ones I'd already picked out, and decided to take a chance, and see if I could keep some, and sell the rest on Ebay or somewhere. ** I told Flynn that I accepted the manager's deal.** And that's when Flynn came over, telling me essentially, that he had dibs on a bunch of them (the nicest ones). (!) And he starting going over my hand-picked short-pile. He was weirdly kind of hostile, looking at me suspiciously, like I was hiding more "good ones" from him. w/e. read more

I wanted to say Colleen at Mikes Camera, in Boulder, was a God send. Very gracious and thoughtful. Thank you for such a great employee. Kat McGovern read more

Good shop in Boulder for buying camera stuff and printing pictures. They also take passport photos and stuff as well which is a super easy process. They sell a ton of equipment and really great accessories. Ordering to get printed pictures is super easy, but their service for that isn't always the quickest and I think they might be understaffed which isn't their fault and I get it. Overall good customer service and I can tell they are trying. I will continue to go here for ordering pictures and other camera needs. read more

One of the last places in the area where you can scan and print photos here. The cost while not cheap, is reasonable.

Mike's Camera in Boulder is great and I use them for all my camera needs! From purchasing my latest camera, processing all my film and framing needs, I really enjoy their service. Krystal in the framing department has always been a pleasure to work with. Thank you! read more

Well...lemme start with the print department. So knowledgeable and patient. Everyone I work with seems to manage multi-tasking and customer service with such skill :) Then there is Krystal in the framing department. THE BEST. Artistic, skilled and so helpful and kind. Krystal provided me with such good advice and she went out of her way to please me. And...btw...custom photo matting prices were SO reasonable. I purchased a few 16x20 with an 11x14 opening and they were half the price of Michaels! and the assistance was invaluable. I LOVE MIKES CAMERA :) read more
