Just had a great customer service experience. Also learned that if you drop off 9 rolls of film, the 10th is developed for free! Cashed in that reward today. read more

Great service. Developed a roll of film that was over 20 years old and gave us the digital copy. Great staff too.

Catie helped me out and was so patient with me and all of my questions! She was extremely helpful and walked me through all the basics I needed to know on my film camera. It was around $38 for me to have my old film processed and get a new roll. I would've paid more just because of how knowledgeable Catie was. 10/10 experience and super cool space! read more

Wilson is a real gem in the Phoenix valley. Film labs are becoming increasingly rare, so I'm very glad that we have access to this joint. When I resurrected my love of film photography, I was initially planning on developing by film via a mail-in situation found online. However, I was deterred as those options often take several weeks or more to develop film. I have used Wilson dozens of times and my film has always been processed in a matter of days--sometimes as quickly as day of during slower days. I find their prices to be fair. In addition to developing film, Wilson also sells film (including super hard to find 110 film for my Kodak Ektralite!!) and refurbished cameras. read more

I always use Wilson Camera to have my film developed! Quick turn around time and great customer service. Cute little shop.

I went to Wilson to get my 4 disposable film cameras developed. I tried to go to Walmart in Scottsdale but they don't do it anymore. I could have gone to CVS or something but I just wanted to get this done easily and ASAP. Wilson popped up as being nearby so I decided to give it a shot. The funny thing is I expected this to be a deserted one-man show with an old guy running the place (I guess I was thinking of jewelry repair places?). Anyway, when I walked in, this place was far from deserted and the man at the counter was about 30 lol. I had entered hipster paradise (and it was air conditioned!). There were a few other young people in there too. The woman ahead of me in line was trying to get her grandfather's camera fixed. Her and the man behind the counter were having a pretty technical conversation about lenses, etc. When it was my time to shine, I was a feeling a little shy because I'm not a photographer. The guy put me at ease right away and helped me with my cameras. The only reason I have to give this a 4 instead of 5 stars is because the price was quite exorbitant, at least for me who is not a photographer. I vowed to myself that I would no longer get disposable cameras anymore because they are too expensive. I had 4 cameras and they charged me $130 in total. $40 for the prints and $80 for the scans. The man did persuade me into getting the premium prints but honestly I wasn't able to tell the difference and I regret paying extra. The scans came pretty quickly to my email (a few days to a week after) and were easy to download. I went 2-3 weeks later to pick up the prints. If I was a photographer I would probably love this place. read more

They no longer offer passport photo services, nor do they provide referrals. Yelp needs to update its reviews.

Wilson is the best in the business. I have been to nearly all the film labs around Phoenix, and I still kick myself for waiting so long to try Wilson because they are truly superior in every way. Scans come back within a couple of days, and the coloring is always perfect -- customer service is 10/10, and everyone I have ever interacted has been so kind! I'm not an avid review writer by any means, but this place deserves all the hype. read more

Out of all the photo labs in Phoenix this is by far the best! This place is not only really professional but everyone at this location is incredibly friendly and helpful. I love getting my 35mm developed here and it always comes out looking amazing. I've tried other camera shops and they always develop the film weird or sending scans that look bad. I one had my film scanned and developed somewhere else and it came out looking bad. I brought it to them and they were able to print out some gorgeous looking shots! Ever since then I knew this was the only spot I would ever take my film. I've never had problems with Wilson and will continue to come here for as long as they're open. read more

Don't walk, run to Wilson Camera! :) This place is awesome! I mainly go in to get film photos developed. They always look high quality and the color is more vibrant compared to other camera shops in Phoenix. They also have a large array of cameras and film that they sell. They have disposable cameras, Polaroid cameras, and so much more! read more

I needed a place to develop my photos and was told to come here. I've never met such nice people in my life! They were so welcoming and walked me through my options, and made the process so quick and easy. I will never go anywhere else, I only trust Wilson. read more

On going saga of 3 years of bad service, gas lighting, rude ownership, terrible value to dollar ratio, and the selection of film/cameras is overly high for the quality. First mishap they lost two of my 35mm rolls of film. No compensation just a sorry we don't know what happened. I understand things and mistakes happen in a film lab or any business. Two weeks of asking for scans and negatives in this instance, keep note because this will be an on going them. Second mishap, this time it was over two weeks of reaching out for updates since dropping off rolls of E6 and black and white. Called multiple times and messaged them on IG as shown in the pictures to finally get an answer if we screwed up your rolls but we're going to drag it out as long as possible. Third mishap, paid for high resolution scans but received medium. Got told to chill because I was simply asking what I paid for nothing more nothing less and not in an aggressive manor. Mind you during all of these it's taking weeks to get rolls back while people I know are taking rolls in for the same service and getting them back in a few days. Final straw was reaching out directly to the owner as shown in the last picture voicing my frustrations after sending a lot of rolls there, followed with being told I'm a trip. If I could give zero stars I would but that's unfortunately not an option. These are direct screenshots of messages between the business account and the owners account. By all means if you have film to get developed, scanned or need film cameras/accessories look elsewhere. read more

We stopped in to replace a broken UV filter on our digital SLR camera. And though they didn't sell filters at the store, the person behind the counter was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what we needed. He recommended the brand and the website we should order from. By the time we left the parking lot I had my online order placed. So glad we stopped in because we got exactly the help we needed. read more

In college, I worked for a small camera shop and enjoyed every second of it. Stepping into Wilson Camera brought back all those wonderful memories. I've been on the hunt for camera shop to process film quickly, yet at a reasonable rate. Wilson Camera turned out to be exactly what I was looking for! I dropped off several disposable 35MM cameras earlier this week for processing and high resolution scans. They provided a timeframe of about 5 days to expect my scans back, but I received a happy surprise in my inbox a day early with a link to download all of my photos! So quick! After processing my film, they let me know that one of my rolls was extremely expired and blank, so they provided a credit to process my next roll without me even having to ask. Amazing. They offer different pricing options for low, medium, and high resolution scans. I opted for high resolution, which was about $20 per roll. Not bad at all for ~26MP scans! I also have an old collection of 110 film that I've been wanting to process, but haven't been able to find a shop locally that can do it. The person who helped me at Wilson confirmed that they indeed process 110! I'm so excited to come back and get all my old rolls processed. read more

Friendly staff who are able to answer any/all questions I have. Fast turn around times (especially for color) and love that they have options on scanners for you. read more

Unprofessional owner that yells at customers who he does not have patience's for (old people), talks shit/makes fun of about people who buy their overpriced cameras and basically getting scammed and employees that are just trying to do their job. Also keep your dog at home a film lab with chemicals everywhere probably isn't a place for it. And who names a dog "Leica"?! How pretentious read more

place is awesome, cool aesthetic, great guys who own/run this shop. very inviting, always open. they know their shit definitely worth your time to check out read more

Fast , friendly, helpful , professional developed old 35 mm I've had laying around for over a decade . Although the age of film contributed to faint images on negatives , they were developed professionally and on time as promised. They made sure that I was aware that the film might not come out at all and it might be a waste of time /money . Polite , courteous., professional. read more

Amazing experience! Nick is the owner and exceptionally knowledgeable guy when it comes to anything about film/camera from both product side and application. We described what we are looking to accomplish and he was able to help select the product from start to finish. We walked out with an entire set of brand new equipment for our goals. Highly, highly recommend to visit this store for any of your camera and film needs! Both Nick and Brandon have an amazing energy, professionalism and made us feel welcome and taken care of! Just the best!!! read more

Best film lab ever! Great turn around time. So many options for every level of film experience. Reasonably priced for the high quality. The absolute friendliest and most knowledgeable staff. Love this place!! read more

This place is awesome! They only took 3 days to develop my disposable camera film (Walgreens takes 2 weeks). I also dropped off 8 VHS tapes to be converted and it was only $20 per tape. Excited to see how they turn out. The store also has a great vibe, very inviting and interesting set up. Staff is nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely recommend! read more

Very unprofessional- decided to bring my film here because I thought pricing was reasonable and turnaround time was fairly quick based on what I saw on their website. I paid $50 for prints and scans, which wasn't exactly clear on their website and I had to call later for further pricing clarification but that's not super important. It was supposed to take 1-2 days(based on what they told me). Thursday rolls around and nothing; I call them and they tell me that their machine had gone down over the weekend and they just got it back up. Why they hadn't told me that when I dropped it off on MONDAY and adjusted the turnaround time accordingly, I have no idea. They told me on Thursday that if I hadn't received anything by Monday to call back. I call back Monday and I'm told my film still hasn't been touched and they're super backed up and that there is a 50/50 chance that it will be touched today and hopefully it will be done by Tuesday. I understand things happen and that the machine went down but I'm very frustrated in the lack of communication. Definitely will not be bringing anything back here. read more

Wilson camera is by far my favorite camera lab in Arizona. They are incredibly welcoming and friendly. The first time I was in they fixed 2 of my cameras within 10 minutes. Both I've been trying to get fixed for years. The employs are also very knowledge and helpful. Overall great scans and great vibes. read more

An awesome place to develop film and they have a great vintage camera supply! Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the Phoenix area! read more

Negatives will come back scratched and your prints will be done improperly on the wrong paper. if you dare call to check in ON the date the store says your rolls will be done, the owner will admittedly "move your order to the back of the line" because he feels like he shouldn't have to make due dates HE SETS, further placing your order away from the day they originally promised. really unprofessional store and was even threatened that he will "f**k us up". Nick is really messing up their business with his entire attitude but he will keep bolstering his reviews with fakes. go to Tempe Camera, Phoenix photo lab, Phoenix film revival, or Fotoforum. dont even bother wasting your time at this awful excuse for a camera shop. . read more

Nick and Brandon and the entire staff are incredible. We are so lucky to have a camera store and processing location in Scottsdale.

Found this place online when visiting family in Arizona and decided to give them a try. When I walked in I was welcomed and everyone was super nice. The pricing was great and I got my pictures back fast. I would definitely come back to develop film here again when I'm in town. I loved the whole environment and the guy that helped me was very talkative and helpful. He answered all my questions:) read more

I had a friend of mine who goes to Wilson a lot pick up a disposable film camera for me so I could take pictures for a trip I was going on. I was nervous to bring it in thinking I might encounter some snobby film dudes who looked down on me for having a disposable. Exactly the opposite, Nick and the other guy who helped me out were super nice and helpful. Got the scans in my email a couple days later and jeez they look so good!! I showed them to a friend of mine without telling him it was a disposable and he actually asked what lens I used!! I will definitely keep coming here from the friendly service, quick turnaround, and great results! read more
