This is where I've bought my last two digital cameras from. The first one, when I was 16.. and it served me extremely well up until 3 weeks ago (ie; 6 years of perfect functionality, probably more if I hadn't messed up the lens. it was a Canon, if you're interested). The other week, I bought a red Lumix (Panasonic), and it seems to be in top condition. More than the quality of their cameras, it's the friendliness of the staff that impresses me. They are quite frank and upfront, and almost apologetic about their sometimes ridiculous prices. For instance, I had wanted to get my previous camera fixed, and was told apologetically that it would cost me up to $250, and that it would probably be cheaper to buy a new camera altogether. Which I promptly did! read more

Could have had a sale today and a potential repeat customer...if only they had bothered! 3pm on Sat, no customers around. I walked in carrying $2500 worth of camera and lens around my neck looking for a tripod. One assistant tried to sell me the cheapest unit even when I insisted that I wanted a sturdy carbon fibre tripod & ballhead. She wanted to help, but didn't ask about my needs and budget, or know much about the products they sell. The store 'expert' stood aloof and only gave monosyllabic answers when the lady chased him down to relay my questions. Perhaps they made a lot of assumptions about me - I don't know - but if they had only bothered to speak to me and helped me they would have soon figured out that was ready spend $6-700 and very likely to have come back as a loyal customer. The Paxtons nearby was more helpful, knew my gear and their products, but didn't have the range to show me. I'm off to the web to buy. read more

I like gadgets and tend to research on all models even before they are made available in stores. Hoping to replace my partners bulky camera with a slim point and shoot, I stepped into Camera House. There were only a couple of other customers, but the staff didn't seem to be assisting anyone. I asked when the new cameras were launching and they didn't know. They didn't even know that there was a newer model released and that a product upgrade was due. Looking in store I found a model, i thought would suit my needs. The staff were quite rude in saying that if I was looking for a newer model, I should just come back sometime later. They refused to show me the display model and refused to comment on colour availability or stock level. Monday morning blues or just plain rude? I'm not sure and not going to find out as I bought my camera elsewhere. read more

Just before Xmas I purchased a great camera canon xa20 and though was given great advice by the staff.... Including price matching from a competitive store. Unknown to me my wife bought another camera for me and wanted to return it. After a little deliberation they did agree to take it back. I however decided to keep it as backup and must say its a awesome choice for a camera. I have used them many times for cameras and would recommend them for any purchase of photography gear.. Look forward to buying more gear from them in the future. LR read more
