    This is my go to camera store in DC. As a professional photographer, I always appreciate the hospitable customer service as well as the great selection of products that are competitively priced when compared to online retailers like Amazon or B&H. I would suggest supporting your local community and buying from ProPhoto!

    You can get camera equipment anywhere, so why come here? I've gone here three times, each time I was ignored. So I bought my d7100 and gear at b&h instead. I did buy a used lens here. I wish they wanted my business as I like supporting local stores.

    Pretty solid camera store for hobbyists, enthusiasts, or simply dabblers. Wide range of equipment…read moreavailable packed into a decently sized and well organized space. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and served fairly quickly. Only downside imo was that there were some premiums attached to some goods, like clearly selling some new items above msrp. I am not sure if this was just due to the difficulty in acquiring them, or if it's typical due to it being DC, but just beware that pricing may not be the best. Despite this though, it is always great to have a brick and mortar shop like this to come and explore, and I will likely return for future needs and recommend people go check out for themselves.

    My compact digital camera is about 14 years old, an Elph300Hs which I bought for myself as a…read moregraduation present from UDC in 2011. Powershot was great back in the day when High Dynamic Zoom was still novel. I should have figured out how to transport files remotely but I never fully investigated this option. My camera was from Penn Camera when it was in downtown. That salesperson was so nice, and so I purchased a few extra accessories at the time. Anyway, this is not supposed to be a full obit for my camera. Recently I kept getting "data capacity limit reached" messages on the battery so it clearly needed to be changed, and so I came into District Camera for a battery. They said there were no Canon batteries available, but for $30 I could purchase a Pro Master Replacement for Canon NB-4L. Since I had purchased a lousy Chinese smartphone battery replacement for my phone last year, I didn't want to spring for this. I expected some kind of funky thing for sure: overheating, short functioning time, etc. I was not far wrong! DO YOUR HOMEWORK! The batteries ARE AVAILABLE AT USA.CANON.COM! If I had bought the bona fide Canon battery ($70) maybe my camera would not have overheated and I would not have had the new error that showed up: "Lens Error"! That is the message like "white screen of death" on a blog! I cannot get the lens to retract no matter how many times I put the batteries (trying with the old one or the new one) inside. There is no "reset" for the camera. Its "Power is Shot." Retrorevival.ca has an article about a possible Lens Error repair: https://www.retrorevival.ca/2025-retro-revival-repair-blog-articles/202509/24/canon-powershot-elph-350hs-lens-error However I have not the patience nor stamina to take this camera apart. It is feeling "hot" to the touch once I put the batteries in and turn it on, and yes, it was making a clicking noise before it totally "shut down" just like Retrorevival describes. Now that lens retraction won't happen, I can no longer do anything with the digital screen. It just turns back off. I am not going to blame District Camera---heavens knows we can use some camera store in downtown DC. There used to be several, up to five specialty photography shops, and computer repair stores, but now, once a repair is needed, good luck, even at Best Buy. Do Your Homework! Shop online for the camera you desire, then find which store (if any) you can order it from! Probably Canon is doing a brisk business online. But District Camera does offer "refurbished cameras." Their service is very busy, and it is very snappy. Don't expect the most patient clerks. They did sell me a Pro Master Multi Card reader one time, and also a Re-Fuel Digital Camera Travel Charger for reasonable prices and both at times when they were suddenly needed. But right now, I just have to get over realizing I need to buy a new camera, and see that as a great way to learn more about photography. And sure, I'll start at https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/digital-cameras.

Unfortunately, I left disappointed and pretty upset actually. I asked one of their Reps if they repair Panasonic FZ300's and he wasn't sure, so he asked someone older who was repairing something in the back. With somewhat of an annoyed tone and unwilling to provide more info he shouted: "we don't repair Panasonic". I found it interesting that they don't repair Panasonics, yet they do sell them here. Anyway, I asked the guy if he could please provide me with a quote for my mint condition OM Systems OM1 as I'm considering selling, sounds like he didn't believe me that it was in mint condition (less than 200 pictures taken and purchased it 2 months ago, have my receipt of it as well) so he said that I would have to bring the camera. He couldn't even give me a price range. He also told me that my Point and Shoot Sony H-20 has a bigger sensor than my OM Systems OM1, which is ridiculous. I wish I could be here giving my 5 stars to a Local Business but my experience was just unpleasant and really disappointing.

    This store is usually busy which is great, and the customers almost always seem happy. I've never…read morehad to wait more than a minute for help.

    Listen, I've been coming here for a while now and I want to say I absolutely love it without fail…read morebut that's not always true. I will say where I can say I don't love them 100% of the time is the staff. I have seen new staff come and go, and I've seen senior staff stay (which is always nice to see them). BUT not everyone is very welcoming or polite. I don't need kissasses or anything but for those who are looking for "outstanding" sales people, I will warn you that some of the staff are a little rough around the edges. Now, with that said, I think that there are staff members who are beyond kind and welcoming and make me love this place (when they are present). I think this is an awesome store to grab what you need and even be able to talk about what products best suit you and your needs. Again, overall I love it here, there are just a few too many experiences where I've left feeling that the staff don't actually respect me as a customer - which is fine but leaves me feeling discouraged and hesitant to return.

I clicked through to the site from Google Shopping and it did not say unavailable or anything, but the exact same photo (price, too) came up with a slightly different model number, so I didn't notice a missing 0. My receipt shows the same camera. Mo refuses to apologize. He said he would refund it if I send it back. I had the camera shipped out of the country at extra expense and sending it back will cost more than the purchase (taxes, shipping 2 ways) The product does not match the photo.
