Forget thrifting to find a decent album when you can buy dark side of the moon for $1. No Joke. I actually bought that record so it's not there anymore BUT just the fact that I purchased it for a dollar rocks. These are not in prestine condition, but the records still sounds good. He even has a record player with head phones to test out all of your pickins. (He=owner=very helpful and friendly) They have new records coming in weekly. I have not spent more than $9 on a record and that was talking heads and a chuck berry anthology. Are you catching my drift? Go in there.

Bill Moretz may be the best and most experienced on-site photographic repair technician I've ever met. His expertise and abilities as a problem-solver are first-rate. Bill's personal & professional photography is excellent. This is very important because he instinctively knows what works to improve image quality and what doesn't. He's my Go-To Guy. If you give Bill Moretz a problem to solve, he either solves it himself or gives it to a staff member. He knows how and where to get real-world answers and solutions. I have trusted Bill with purchases and sales of Film, Polaroid & Leica/Canon Cameras & Lenses, Lighting Equipment, Tripods & NUMEROUS accessories. He is always most fair and he never lets me down. His encouragement during my transition to Fine Art Digital Photography has been nothing less than crucial to my image success in this arena. Not really sure of the underlying issues expressed in the negative reviews by others at this site, but I would be willing to wager that at least one complaint was written by a person with emotional issues that are difficult for most people to spell and pronounce. Top professionals from near and far depend on Bill Moretz and his very professional staff to assist them with rentals, purchases and repairs. Always trust your equipment & image quality issues to professionals. Bill Moretz & the staff at ProCamera are those professionals. That's why I rate them 5 Stars. (And no, Bill did NOT ask me to write this, nor will he give me a discount for it!)

Pro Camera is a bit of an unconventional camera/photo store because it's really a small retail…read morestorefront, behind which the main business is focused on camera repair. In the retail part you can buy a small to medium selection of film/digital cameras and supplies, but it's not the place to go for rack after rack of all the latest brands and models. They do have current offerings from a selection of digital brands for which they are dealers, but it's not huge. For film photographers like myself, again, they have a decent selection of film in various formats, but it's not as extensive as you'll find in larger stores. I try to buy my film from them when I can, because their pricing is the same as I can get anywhere and I want to support the small businesses that film photography absolutely depends on. The biggest threat to film photography's survival is the giant online retailers. Beyond the somewhat limited modern digital camera/lens selection, Pro Camera is one of the very few places you can buy expertly serviced film-era equipment or get your own properly serviced. I see on some of the other reviews people are complaining about pricing; well, in this area, you truly do get what you pay for. If you want a cheap film camera, go ahead and eBay it, but if you want a camera that will work properly and perform to factory specification for any length of time, the equipment at Pro Camera is a very smart investment. All the film cameras on their shelves in-store are expertly serviced, tested with very specialized instruments, and film-tested. In most film camera stores, little has been done other than a wipe-down and wind-and-click testing. Rarely does any store do professional testing with dedicated instrumentation; film-testing is pretty much unheard-of. Pro Camera is exceptional in this regard. By the way, the selection on their website is much smaller than in-store. I don't know why; I think it would be smart of them to offer all their gear for online purchase, but that's just me. The team behind the scenes at Pro Camera are world-class at servicing film cameras; it is rapidly becoming harder to find anyone even somewhat competent at this, and that makes it all the more extraordinary that they are playing a long-game and actually investing in expanding the number of technicians they have. I do camera repair myself and, as most camera repair technicians have done, I have sent my own equipment to a variety of others for repair. There's literally no one better than Pro Camera. And this brings me to my next point, the wait to get a camera serviced can be very long. That is a testament to how highly regarded Pro Camera's repair service is, among those who know the industry. So be prepared to pay what it's worth, and wait for it to take the time it's going to take, but getting it done right is worth it.

They even had a couple crates of Broadway soundtracks the day we stopped in. Though we didn't look through them, you can also get CDs, cassettes and even 8-tracks here. The store itself is super crowded - narrow aisles, things precariously stacked about in places. Get more than a few people in here and it's hard to move around. It was also quite cold inside as they left the front door open (in January) the entire time we were there. The owner is fantastic and helpful and knows where his stock is. Prices vary and are generally pretty good - less expensive than other places in town, for the most part. Sidetracks will definitely be a stop for us any time we're in town.
