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.

The first gentleman I encountered was kind of helpful...but could not figure out a solution to my problem. Then, the older gentleman who assumed was the manager, tried to assist me. He would not stop telling me that my iPhone 4 took terrible pictures and that his three-year-old Blackberry took better photos than I could. He also insisted that I opened the photo is SOME application in order to rename it. He kept saying I "dumbed" the picture down doing this (which I didn't) and he was using all sorts of words that did not matter to me since I am not a photographer. He tried to sell me a canvas of the picture or a mosaic print. All I wanted was a flipping 4X6 photo that didn't look pixilated. He couldn't help me at all and made me feel terrible for not knowing anything he was talking about--what do I care how I took the picture or what program application I used on my phone to edit it. Seriously. I will never go here ever again. I suggest you find some local photo shop where you can take your business.
