The store has pluses and minuses ,,,, it is very well stocked with the latest high quality gear …read more But is really is more like a walk in warehouse than a local Mom and Pop store. You really need to know exactly what you want to buy before walking in as they are extremely hesitant to let you check out the gear such as putting a lens on a body and seeing how fast it focuses or how heavy the combo is. To exasperate this they have a very strict no return policy . I don't find that combo of policies to be ideal .

i read a bunch of bad reviews on google when i was trying to hunt down the fujifilm x100vi. i was…read morehonestly desperate but decided to give this place a shot anyway. as soon as i walked in, i was confused because the reviews did not match the store at all. the place is so nice inside, super clean, and honestly looks better than all the other camera stores i went to. everyone was friendly and helpful too. a week later, i was able to snag the camera i wanted. mind you, other places told me i had to put down a $300 deposit just to be on a waiting list and they still could not tell me when i would actually get it. this store gets restocks directly from fujifilm and does not take deposits. you just sign up on their website to get notified when it restocks. 10 out of 10. i will definitely be coming here for any future camera purchases.

I'm so impressed with George's customer service. I would give ten thousand stars if I could…read more I'll admit it: I'm an impulsive buyer. Once I decide I need something, I get fixated on it and need it in that moment. I typically buy my electronics from Best Buy, but they didn't have the flash I wanted in stock locally, and waiting a few days for delivery clearly wasn't an option for me. So I started looking up local camera stores and found George's Camera. Lucky me! I called, and they told me they had ONE left in stock. At that point, I wasn't taking any chances. I immediately asked if I could purchase it over the phone and pick it up that same day. They were more than accommodating. Now, this is where my poor planning comes in. The store closes at 6 PM, and I risked it all by getting there around 5:56 PM. I was already slightly panicked knowing I had cut it way too close, but what I absolutely did NOT anticipate was pulling up and discovering a Farmer's Market happening and nowhere to park! At that point, I knew I had officially pushed my luck. I called the store in a panic, and to my surprise someone actually answered the phone. Yes, I was suprised because the average business would of just watched it ring. By this time, I had circled around the store again and noticed the metal gate in front of the store was partially closed. My heart dropped. I knew there was no way I would make it in the store before closing. I explained the situation and asked if there was any way they could bring my purchase out to me. At 5:59 PM, ONE minute before closing, a staff member came outside and handed me my flash. Now THAT is customer service! They absolutely didn't have to do that, especially when I was the one showing up at the last possible second, but they truly saved the day. I appreciate them so much. And now, thanks to George's Camera, I'll be up all night practicing (yes, I've never used one ) with a flash I probably had no business impulsively buying in the first place. But considering they had exactly ONE left, let me buy it over the phone, and somehow got it into my hands at 5:59 PM despite a farmers market standing between me and my purchase...I'm choosing to believe I was destined to have this flash. Thank you soooooo much! George's Camera definitely gained a new customer today!

If you're a photographer - professional or hobbyist - George's Camera is where to go! This place…read morehas everything: lighting gear, camera bags, lenses, and enough accessories to make you question whether you've ever truly taken a "real" photo in your life. The staff? Walking encyclopedias. I'm convinced they collectively know every camera ever created, including the ones that were prototypes, rumors, or fever dreams. I brought in an old Canon my brother gave me--so old it probably qualifies for Social Security--and the gentleman behind the counter with the long white beard took one look and immediately knew its entire genealogy. Extremely helpful, extremely patient, and honestly, I'm 70% sure he's a wizard. If you're in North Park and need anything for your inner shutterbug or just want to bask in the glow of pure photographic tribal knowledge--George's is the spot!
