Told me they don't my business or business from anyone I know. Avoid this place if you can, there are much better options around town. Hard to find, even harder to deal with.

Two photos (stamped on the back) costs $19 (plus tax), and they have an option of emailing you the digital version for an extra $5. I've been here twice and both times my photos have been accepted (by immigration in Canada). Plus I'm fairly sure he removed the shininess on my face on the photo from the last time which was a nice touch.

They had Portra, Ektar, Kodak, and many others that were not available at other camera stores I visited. It was also super organized inside and they had a large variety of cameras and equipment as well. Would definitely come here if I lived in Calgary!

I live in Yukon, and in person shopping is not an option for me unless I am travelling. I try to…read moreshop Canadian, and have had experience with several of the main camera supply stores in Canada and USA. One problem for me has been when a company offers free shipping as "Vistek" does, but excluded NWT, Yukon, and Iqaluit, even though Yukon is closer to their Edmonton and Calgary stores than Winnipeg that would get free shipping. And I have spoke with them about it, but their shipping policy is written in stone. So when pre-ordering an expensive Canon R5 MKii camera, battery, and accessories, I did not want to pay extra shipping charges. Contacting The Camera Store they assured me free shipping was indeed included, so I placed my order. I got excellent service, staff interaction (Liz was prompt to answer questions, and update me on my pre-order progress), and shipping was fast. Thank you Kerri. I made a few purchases since, and still even though not that expensive, the service was excellent. This will be my starting store for camera shopping until they do not carry what I am looking for. I highly recommend The Camera Store online shopping, as my experience has been the absolute best. The B & H store was one I favoured previously, with the problem of paying USA dollars with Canadian dollars, so am totally happy to have accidentally found The Camera Store, and it will be my main contact going forward.

Sadly came across the WORST customer service in a gadget store, especially by Mr Sandeep, who…read moredoesn't have any knowledge about the products, doesn't show/check the product before selling it. They are totally unaware/untrained of how to deal with customers, because when I called to mention about the defective product Sandeep sold me, he refuses that he has sold a defective product without checking it and denies to provide with a logical solution. Further he hung-up on me twice in middle of the conversation. But when I called the third time, as per receptionist he started attending other customers. And she also hung-up immediately, like WOW, what kinda service are they providing ? Why is this store even open ? This is shear harassment. Please boycott them and prefer buying it from other sellers or online because you will definitely regret your purchase from here! And this 1 star rating is much higher!

This is a good place to go to for professional advice and equipment. For lower end…read morehobbyist/consumer grade stuff make sure to get them to price match The Camera Store because they're usually cheaper. For almost everything you can say "It's cheaper at The Camera Store" and they won't bat an eye and match it quickly with zero fuss. As for professional equipment the guys that work their pro counter are more knowledgeable than most of The Camera Store's staff. They're not biased towards brands which is very important in my opinion. Nobody wants to be told that the reason they're having problems is because they invested $8k in canon or because they invested $k in Nikon or something silly like that. If you're interested in digital MF I think these guys really stand out. Every single one of their pro counter guys are knowledgeable in this regard compared to only about 1 or 2 staff members at The Camera Store being knowledgeable enough to answer serious questions about a MF workflow. Do keep in mind if an obscure item's not in stock it's going to take bloody forever for them to get it. They order it through their Toronto head office and unfortunately all the incoming stock at the head office gets diverted to their toronto locations and the calgary locations get the scraps. But they do stock the regular, important equipment. Also: NO REFUNDS IF YOU'VE SO MUCH PULLED A LENS OR CAMERA OUT OF IT'S PACKAGING BAGGIE. If you're an impulse shopper DO NOT SHOP HERE. Shop at best buy or something where they'll refund your impulse purchase. Keep in mind you can rent equipment before trying it.
