Oh right off the bat... your hit with this nostalgia like a kid in a candy shop. Camera parts everywhere but in this neat arrangement. I love going there and everytime I go, I'm always leaving more than what I originally planned to get

One of the older men sitting in the front in the sales level was extremely rude to us. I was looking for a camera microphone. He was rolling his eyes like a teenage girl. I thought the older generation had more manners?? I ve had teenagers from McDonald have better customer service. He was trying to...

My go to spot for all camera needs. The staff really knows their stuff. I've had several cameras worked on here, each time they delivered with excellent value repairs. Oh, and you can drop off film for development right next door.

John, the salesman, was very patient with me and all my questions and decisions. I had an idea what I wanted beforehand after researching online. He let he handle any camera I wanted so I could compare weight, size, and grip. I am very happy with my SL2 and accessories!

4 stars for the merchandise that they actually carry. 0 stars for the classic dinosaur-business-like sleezy salesman drooling all over your shoulders for dat commission. If you need some photo gear asap, they might have it, but I cringe when thinking about going here. They don't focus on used gea...

As a Full-Time Realtor that uses photography and video extensively to sell homes, I depend on Tempe Camera for all of my needs. They have fantastic service and competitive prices. I always buy local rather than on the internet to support businesses that support me.

$407.44 to repair my 70D. I did let them repaired it cause I had no choice, was in a rush and its my first camera. Anyway as I walked in the door for the first time, customer service was as expected ... moody and standing around looking like they're missing their phone desperately wanting to get on ...

Like everyone else has said, there customer service in the sales department is seriously lacking. Have been in several times and have almost always (there have been a few exceptions) they are elitist with no interest in helping the novice.

Might go back if i'm in a pinch but that's it. Went in once to get sensor cleaned, quoted a price but the turn around wasn't working for my schedule. Came back later and was told they would call and give me an estimate for the cleaning and repair of my lens. Called back first thing in the morning su...

I've been taking film here for years for development and service has been consistently friendly and high quality. Nice to know you can still find a good film lab in the age of technology where anyone can take a decent picture with a smart phone.

Was on vacation and did not have time to drop off camera. The repair person fixed my camera on the spot. Great old fashion customer service.
He said it was oil on the sensor, cleaned it off and the camera has never worked so well. Thank You!

Nice place, great variety of cameras, backpacks, lens, photo paper, camera mounts and more. I only knocked off a star because it is quite expensive. Excluding that, I did not knock off a star for appearance, but the outside looks like they're under construction

Went to two cameras stores hoping that someone could detach my polariser from my nikon lens which got stuck after I dropped it.
They both said send it back to Nikon. Michael Delanie not only fixed the problem within a minute, he sealed the lens and gave me a uv filter free of charge. Legend! Ask f...

I've been using Tempe camera for almost 20 years. They have always been good to me and resolved any issues I've had. The repair department can fix anything and the rentals are actually affordable compared to most online companies who have a minimum order. The staff is amazing and I have used their p...

Called in today because I was wondering if they stock quick release mounting plates. The salesperson on the line wasn't very helpful, insisted that I should just use the plates that came with the camera/tripod/stabilizer and didn't understand why I would want a quick release plate so I could move my...

Fine for rentals but please do NOT take your repair here! Quoted me an $850 lens (canon 50mm 1.2) repair without even telling me what's wrong because "Canon doesn't release that information before it's repaired"...excuse me? Find another repair option. Customer service is not great either.

Perhaps they treat there follow hard core photographers nice, but I felt as if asking them general questions were a bother to them. Maybe my experience is isolated. I would suggest a typical retail store for most of your equipment, prices just are not competitive.

I got some great photography equipment from here but there was an employee who was so rude to me. I bought a bunch of camera equipment and backdrops for a Photoshoot and he refused to help me carry it to my car, and I m not a strong girl. For that reason I will not shop here again, even though I lov...

I went through a total nightmare after I bought a used lens on Ebay that wasn't working properly, and I sent it through Tempe Camera to see if it could be saved. In the end,...

I was given a quote to replace the shutter on my 5DS for almost $900. I was led to believe that this is a Canon authorized repair center, which Canon later confirmed they are not. After having my camera for almost a month they had not even ordered the parts. I had to call them multiple times for ...

Tempe Camera was very busy, of course; it's a Friday, so while the repair people were busy helping others with their cameras, we went upstairs to the third floor to take a look at their new and used Nikon and Canon cameras and lenses. The atmosphere on a Friday is bustling and busy, their customer s...

Doesn't seem to be too many specialty camera stores around these days thanks to internet megastores (i.e. B & H) and places like Best Buy, so it's nice to see a decent (albeit small) store like Tempe Camera Repair. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help. One of the best features of this...
