I was in need of a new camera and have been eyeing the Nikon7500, so I went on Google to see if there were any camera stores around me and came across Woodward Camera. Upon arriving, I was helped right away by a wonderful gentlemen that showed me different Nikon models and lens. The sales rep took the time to answer all my questions and guide me while I was testing out the camera(s). I seen some folks saying that this place is a bit expensive, I've done months of research, the camera with lens was $500 cheaper than the other merchants asking prices. Overall, my experience at Woodward Camera was great and I'd recommend this place to friends and family members (which I have). read more

Came here to get some film cameras developed from our wedding. Although expensive, they were ready ahead of time, and even gave us a credit for the older rolls we dropped off that were not able to be developed. read more

Woodward Camera has always been my go-to for printing . Their customer service is exceptional, and the quality of their work is truly impeccable. Even when I've had last-minute requests, they've consistently risen to the occasion and pulled through for me time and time again. I am incredibly grateful to their team of dedicated experts for their reliability and excellence. They handled the job that I needed and turned it around quickly for a funeral and some photo that was shot in Hollywood on a film set ! And don't gouge on prices . read more

I was pleasantly surprised that my very old rolls of film (30+ years old) were able to come out as well as they did. I have more of them to be developed and will drop them off later on. read more

They did a great job! Timely. Well done! Excellent price! Helpful staff who took time to understand my request and then providing suggestions which saved me time and money! read more

Very positive first visit. We had some miscommunication about what I was there to pickup, nothing major, but quickly cleared up without any (much) awkwardness. The staff was very friendly and approachable, if they were closer to me I'd go here. No knock against my regular store at all, just a slight difference between being positively professional and being fun/engaging. read more

Fantastic help with a photo equipment issue. When I first arrived at the store, there was quite a line but fortunately, it went swiftly. To my surprise the person at the counter took time to answer my questions and suggested potential solutions, not just ones that involved their equipment either. This is something that can't be found in an online shopping experience and why I'll defintely stop there if I need something in the future. Great shop! read more

My family has always come here for passport photos. This was my last visit because they wasted our time. I'm not sure why they close at 6 when they stop taking passport photos an hour before. It makes no sense considering it takes 10min (max) to get a passport photo. I came in around 5:10 and waited about 10min to be helped. Only to be told they won't take the picture. Extremely unprofessional, they weren't understaffed either. read more

Wonderful digitizing of my photos. I have always trusted Woodward camera with my memories; and after hearing of a friend's bad experience with their photographs; I'm grateful for Woodward camera!! read more

First time there, read good reviews and driove from Macomb Twp, staff is so helpful and kind and go out of theit way to help you. Definitely care for the customers and their personal photos of memories. Please look them up, such a cool place with a kind and very knowledgeable crew, a place and people you can trust! Thank you Woodward Camera! read more

The staff at Woodward Camera goes above and beyond. I've had several prints made here and was so happy with the results. Grace in particular is awesome. She is kind, professional and very talented. If you live in the Detroit area, I highly recommend Woodward read more

I ordered some pictures on line not knowing that there wouldn't be available until a couple days later. I went to get them and they explained but they went back and had them ready for me in about 20 minutes. They were fabulous. also I went in one other time because I couldn't get my camera to work correctly. The man that helped me , not just told me, but showed me what the incorrect setting I was using and how to correct. This place is fantastic. read more

TL, DR. Be careful when you drop the film off here, keep a log of what you drop off if you do not already. I would like to re-establish a relationship when the bugs are worked out of their processing department. 1.My experience would be the shop in it's processing department is unorganized to a critical level. This is also reflected in other reviews. I was comped I believe two rolls for processing, and when I got home found multiple comped rolls of film in my bag (thank you.) 2. Every roll I've dropped off I asked to be cut, of maybe 10 rolls not once has it been done. 2. Missing one roll of Kodak Pro Image. 3. Received two rolls of film I did not shoot. 4. Film supervisor Brandon(?) did feel concerned with my business but did not respect my boundaries via a phone conversation. 5. Excellent film selection. 6. Staff is pleasant and accomodating. It is true not everyone knows film, not my expectation in a digital world. 7. Store is clean and organized. read more

Wonderful staff. Knowledgeable. Anything you need related to photography they have or can get for you.

I had been having a rough time finding a place to take photo for Canadian Citizenship (odd specifications). I was in and out with printed photos in 20 minutes. They took care to make sure they meet the specific specs. Thank you! read more

The staff were great. Unfortunately they couldn't help me but not because they didn't do everything possible. I highly recommend Woodward Camera for all of your photography needs. read more

It took a bit of time to be helped here but it might be because everyone seems to be passionately involved in everything "camera." Robert was patient, informative, and not dull of the tough sell. I'm looking forward to the class they offer for new camera owners. read more

Had a great experience at Woodward Camera. Jake answered numerous questions over the phone and let me know of a few promotions on a camera I was interested in. I came in and was greeted right away. Another younger gentleman answered many additional questions as well. I ended up taking a look at a used Sony G Master lens that was in basically new condition for a phenomenal price. Everything I purchased was at or below competitor prices. Zero reason not to shop local at this store. I'm happily snapping some pics with my new setup! read more

Brought in precious old negatives to be digitized and make a few prints. Took two trips in to get them scanned to an adequate file size for my stated use. Then they forgot to give me back some of the negs. They called me much later having found them, but I couldn't get there during biz hours for a month. So they threw them away. I'm crushed-- seriously. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff with good range of digital and film camera needs. I'd go again

Woodward Camera is a paradise for photographers! They have lots of great equipment, new and used, and knowledgeable sales people who are so helpful! And if you have a problem with something you bought, they will take care of you! I can't recommend this business highly enough! Thank you, Woodward Camera, for keeping quality service alive! read more

I did not want to share my experience publicly, however Woodward Camera has sent me many automated requests to do so. Hence, I decided they deserve it. I trusted my slides, taken 20 years ago, to Woodward Camera for high resolution scanning. These slides are the only documentation I have of my very first body of work in my ongoing career as a contemporary artist. To say the least, these slides were of great important to me. The scans sent back were of poor quality, so I called to speak with the lab and discuss. The person who answered the phone told me to hold on while he transferred me to the lab technician. He must have forgot to press the mute button, so I was forced to listen to them mock me and make fun of my last name. Once the lab technician got on the phone, she seemed very annoyed that I had questions about my order. At that point, the lack of professionalism made me concerned with leaving the slides in their hands any longer. I went to pick up the slides at the store, they were misplaced, and they could not find them. When they finally found the slides, I took them out to examine them and there were finger prints and scratches all over the slides. The experience was so unsettling that I could not talk about it for some time. As I mentioned, I keep receiving automatic emails from Woodward Camera asking for a review, so here is my firsthand experience. It is unfortunate because they used to be very professional and trustworthy, however after this experience, I will never go there or recommend them again. read more

This is my place to go to every time I need to get photo prints. Being a professional photographer and graphic designer myself, I can be demanding with the quality of prints, and Woodward Camera never disappoints in the matter. However (and since I always order 5x7's) they used to get my orders ready within a day and for some reason, since a few months ago, they take an extra day or two now. I always wonder why. If it's because they grew in demand, then I understand since, I repeat, their quality is outstanding. read more

Awesome camera store and extremely knowledgeable staff. I needed to replace a lens that got damaged, they had three lens for me to choose....amazing!!! read more

just made a purchase and the employees who I spoke with over the phone were helpful and polite. would recommend them for all your photography needs! read more

The folks at Woodward are friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. They always get my negatives back to me in a timely fashion and always get it right. Thanks for being the most consistent Lab in Metro-Detroit read more

These guys were amazing. We were leaving town and didn't know how to get a movie off of our iPhone. Jake took us in and not only showed us how to do it but put movie on stick for us. He took two hours of his time to help us. We ended up buying a camera from Jake and when we need another lease I'll call him. Id say 10 star service if I could. And we live in Arizona. read more

If I could give Woodward Camera and their team 10 stars I would. I have had the week from hell, with my sick father going into hospice and a photo shoot my computer decided I was NOT going to be able to Edit. One call to Woodward and Asia saved the day. ALL of the staff(especially Jacqueline) were fun, and made me laugh when I needed a laugh more than anything. But Asia was so kind, and so amazingly helpful, they have my business for life. Asia is a genius in the lab. read more

Everyone here is incredibly knowledgeable and ready to help! They've got great recommendations, classes, and lovely staff. Whether you've got years of experience or you're brand new to photography, they've got something for you and are ready to help you take the next step in your artistic journey. I highly recommend going here! read more

great service! the guys went above and beyond to help me. they had everything I needed and tried to help me get a stuck battery cap off. Super helpful! Jon is the best. read more

I really enjoyed spending time in this shop and talking to the staff. All the staff members here are super knowledgeable about everything they sell and the types of camera and lenses that are best used for whatever medium you are interested or focused on. I came here and got educated, more so than when I arrive, learned more about the lighting and aperture and every aspect of the camera. They really took the time to show me how to properly use my one Canon camera and explain some of the different lenses and what they're used for. They also showed me some of the abilities of my camera as well, that I wasn't certain of. I also once took a lesson here for an hour session, it was a ad hoc camera class that they did on a weekend. Not sure if they still do these types of classes. It was very helpful. I feel this is a place where serious photographers go to get their photography equipment. read more

Great customer service. Mark is very knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all questions in great detail. We plan to return. read more

Marquel Ruff was extremely helpful and super super sweet. my battery was swollen and he removed it not once but twice, and gave me some advice since i know nothing. read more

If anyone needs camera work performed, or REAL film . . . I suggest Woodward Camera (on Woodward Avenue, duh) in Birmingham, Michigan. Specifically, Emma Novara, Store Manager, was especially helpful . . . And I understand they have classes available. Please support small businesses! read more

As a lifelong pro photographer, I highly recommend Woodward Camera for all your camera needs. They have been in business for decades now. Also, they still process and print from film, IN HOUSE ! The staff is very knowledgeable. Prices are fair too... read more

I went into Woodward camera to have a slide enlarged and printed. Tom in the Restoration department was wonderful. It was printed out beautifully and done very quickly. The store itself is brightly lit, there's plenty of help and they know what they're doing. I would highly recommend using Woodward camera. read more

Amazing staff! Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I walked in knowing absolutely nothing and they patiently explained everything and helped me select products that would best suit my needs. Love that they have used options as well as new. read more

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Robert took the time to show me the Nikon models I was interested in and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed and I walked out with a shiny new Z8. I highly recommend stopping in Woodward Camera for all of your photography needs! read more

Refreshing to find a locally owned store focused on customer service and providing the best products available. This store has become my go to place to buy equipment. read more
