I needed to get a new SD card for my digital camera (please don't ask why, it's still too painful to talk about my last card). I was fairly desperate and was walking past so decided whatever they had, it'll do. I have been back since though to get my digital prints from them as you can get them done in an hour if you pay a little more. They are good quality and I'm not sure if you get them that quickly elsewhere? Correct me if I'm wrong on that though. There's quite an extensive catolgue hear from Old skool camera's ( you know, the ones where you have to print the picture etc...No I don't remember either) to the expensive Digital SLR's. They also supply accesoories very well and anything from cards, camera bags, tripods etc can be bought here. It kind of felt a little more expensive being an independent shop and all. I defiantly could've of got my 2GB card cheaper online. I was well served by the member of staff though and did spend a bit of time just wandering around ogling at all the pretty technology on display.

As a photographer enthusiast, I like to shop in a place that offers everything in the world…read morephotography and has a staff with the best knowledge of all products. This does sound like a lot to want but imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this store in the Royal Arcade: Cameraland This shop has film processing and digital printing. They offer a 1-hour express printing. I have taken my films and digital prints there for a few times now and they are always on time. The store may be a little small but that doesn't mean it hasn't got all the latest technology in cameras. This is definitely a shop for the pros. When I purchased my first digital SLR camera from there I must admit I was a little clueless about what to get. That is until the shop assistant asked me what I wanted it for and chose the best option for me. This was a while ago but I was still blown away by the customer service he gave and the extra effort he made to secure the sale. I walked away not just with a camera but an entire range of accessories to go with it including a digital memory card, tripod and a camera case. What makes this shop so appealing are the offers that are available. They sell cameras, camera bags and digital memory cards all in one package to help you save on money. I saved £20 when purchasing all those items together. Listen up photographer of Cardiff. You should go here for the fantastic quality of the products along with the excellent level of service you'll receive. Once you go to Cameraland it will be the only camera shop you will want to go back to.

I had to use them recently when I had a problem with my digital camera, and they lived up to expectations. Although, ultimately, I had to buy a replacement memory chip, they were cheerful and very willing to help and successfully diagnosed the problem (all for free), and made sure that the camera was working properly before I left. Nice old-fashioned service, in other words. I've since looked at their web-site - nice try, but it lets them down a bit. Still, service on the day is what counted, and they delivered.

We were just offered a replacement film. Nothing can bring those pictures back. I will not use them again for developing pictures and will use my trusty digital camera instead of old fashioned equipment. I must add that this was years ago and staff may have changed since then or ownership may have been taken over. The shop has lots of lovely frames and gift ideas on offer.

Then they won't even email your photos - you just come in when they're done to pick up them up on a CD or they can transfer them on to a USB (if you don't have one - you pay for one). Even when I went in to pick up my photos, once again another 2 minute job, I was left waiting after someone had told me '5 minutes' for another 30 minutes! Not until some worker came out from the back and was free did I ask again and finally get my photos. Awful place to get photos developed - are we in the dark ages where you're unable to email some photos across? And for £14.99 I have to make two trips?? Better off going to ExpressImaging on City Road - they will develop and email your photos on the same day for £11.

(I'll save you the trouble of going down yourself: it's not and the prices are awful.) The shop wasn't even crowded when I went in, but I wasn't greeted. To be fair, both clerks were helping people in the front. That's no problem. I could find the film section myself. It's a pretty tiny shop, though the film section is pretty tiny too, it's easy enough to spot. I looked through the film selection quickly. I queued at the till because I wanted to get a roll of film developed. Both of them are just chatting away. I kid you not, I spent over 20 minutes waiting (I know because I had somewhere to be). And not once was I acknowledged. Both workers (older individuals) were chatting away with the customers about completely unrelated things. Finally, I got so fed up that I left. I can't even imagine what that kind of experience would be like for a budding analog photographer. Their snobby would've turned me off of cameras for good. I will never set foot in there again. I'm usually all for supporting local, so it really takes a lot for me to say this: buy online and save yourself a terrible experience.
