Mike is amazing! He explained everything clearly and was able to fix my camera quickly. I went to a few other repair shops before this and they quoted me much higher prices and said it could take more than 4 weeks, even though my issue was pretty simple. Mike was honest and the price was very reasonable. Super helpful and professional. Highly recommend! His shop is behind the plaza and there's plenty of parking, which made it really convenient. read more

Camera Tech - Batter that was repaired. Was so drained that the charger could not detect it - Electronics Repair Near Me - Orange, California

The Man who helped me today was amazing in service, he valued my camera lens as he tried to fix it, and found out that my lens that i had bought was actually tampered and unfixable, And was concerned for me as he told me the issues and hoped that i'm able to file for a claim and get my money back, but as soon as i told him that i did he was relieved! It was absolutely nice to talk to this young gentleman. It may be a small shop, but nonetheless a shop I would call reliable through and through, And he's been working on cameras since he was 18! amazing, right?! My outcome might have been upsetting a little, but it was absolutely worth coming here and having an expert telling me what was wrong and showing me, guiding me what the problem was at hand. Thank you! read more

This was my second camera repair by Mike. He was able to source and replace a dead LCD screen on my discontinued Canon Digicam. I wrote the camera off as non-repairable but Mike found a replacement LCD and it's been given a second life. The camera functions as good as new. I highly recommend Mike at Camera Tech to anyone with a camera, or other small electronic device, in need of repair. BTW, he moved his shop earlier this year. He's no longer in Anaheim. He's now in Orange at the following address: 1940 N Tustin St, Orange, CA. read more

Mick's a marvel, an incredibly competent technician coupled with a genuinely nice and interesting man. I've used him for over twenty years - from his old shop in Anaheim to his new modern place in Tustin. I recommended him to others and have never heard a complaint. He's quick (if he can get the parts), knows his stuff and fairly priced. five stars from me! read more

Couldn't fix our camera, but told us right away instead of waiting. We appreciated the honesty of the owner. This guy knows what he is doing. read more

Very knowledgeable and honest. Mike knows his stuff and won't waste your time. I took several cameras and Mike told me what could be fixed and what couldn't. read more

Did a great job on my camera, really pleasant to to business with. Will be back for sure

I had a sensor that I thought may have a scratch but Mike was able to fix the issue and make the sensor look good as new. Seriously thought I was gonna have to shell out a 4 figure sum for a Sony repair. He seems knowledgeable and experienced. His rates are fair. I would go back to him for future maintenance or repair issues. read more

Owner is a Tottenham Hotspur fan, so I know I found the right person! He is kind and friendly. He was upfront about very reasonable costs and fixed camera on time. Walked me though what was needed to repair, fix. Took the extra time to make sure camera was functioning before I left. Was honest and told me what was worth and what was not. read more

I recently purchased a camera on eBay and needed to replace the light seals. I recognize that I could do it myself but I am still starting my film journey and didn't want to take the risk. A local film store recommended Camera Tech of Anaheim, and I called him. Despite only requiring the light seals replaced, he provided me with a free assessment for the entirety of my camera beyond the light seals as well. He quoted me and I received my camera with new light seals shortly afterwards. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in the future. read more

The shop may look run down but don't be fooled. The owner, Mike, knew exactly what was wrong with my QL17 within moments of inspecting it. He was super friendly and straight forward with the camera issues, which is exactly what I needed! He was also very informative on why certain issues came up with my camera. read more

Mr. Mike is an extraordinary person. Truly a camera DOCTOR, as a matter if fact he is Doctor Mike the camera repair master!! He is the best of the best! read more

This is a good place to get repairs if you only have one or two you need fixed. The owner works alone, so if you have several cameras needing repair, like for a school or organization, it takes quite a while to get the fixed cameras back. The owner is really knowledgeable and nice, but is not the best at communicating with the customer regarding updates or issues. I had several film cameras needing repair and he fixed half of them after having them several months. They work great, like I said, he is good a fixing cameras. However, the other half never got fixed, he had them almost a year, I called for updates, and was told they were not ready. Only when I said I needed to close out the account, did he tell me he could not get the parts to fix them. I feel like this should have been a phone call he made to me once he realized this issue. It was frustrating. I wish him the best, but I recommend finding out an estimated completion date for your needed repair. The cost for my specific camera issue was about $200 per camera, but it really depends what is wrong and how hard the parts are to get. read more

Mike is awesome! I came in after my camera shutter broke (due to my trying to clean the lens and failing miserably) and Mike was able to fix it and he cleaned the lens as well. Please note you will have to leave your camera for an estimate and his hours as of 5/7/2022 are Mon-Fri from 1-5pm and Sat from 1-4pm. It took about a week and a half for my camera to be repaired and it was reasonably priced, best buy was about to charge me 3x the amount!! Will definitely be back for any other camera needs. read more

During a recent diving trip some precipitation got into my camera case as a result my camera lens is stuck. I called and was told to bring it in for a free estimate, so I did. The store is a bit of a flashback in time, but the gentleman is very honest and knows what he's talking about. He pointed out some rust on my camera and recommended I purchase a new one vs try to repair as even if it were repaired he couldn't guarantee additional issues wouldn't arise. Appreciate the honesty and I took his advice and got a new camera. read more

We thought our camera lens was going to be a loss, or so expensive to fix that we'd forego the repair and would need to buy a new camera. Camera Tech to the rescue. Was able to get the lens repaired and extremely happy with the repair/labor cost. Couldn't be happier with this shop. The owner was genuine and very honest. Highly recommend. read more

Owner has a lovely accent and is so very kind and friendly!! He was upfront about very reasonable costs and fixed camera on time. Battery depleted so he charged it up super quick and took the extra time to make sure camera was functioning before i left. It's a small mom & pop shop, lotsa antique-looking cameras on display, nothing fancy but his expertise and good ol' fashion customer service and skills are 100% top notch! read more

It seems in the pandemic he has changed his hours to 1:00PM to 5:00PM. But like my previous review, I think he still comes and goes as he pleases. Like I said, he's just an older guy who seems like he's just doing it just to have something to do a little bit each day. It might just take a little bit extra work to make sure he's there but the work he's done on my film cameras over the years is amazing. read more

Got my canon ae-1 and cannonet ql17 fixed here for great prices! Mike is super nice and helpful and likes to talk if you like to talk. Very nice guy and I will definitely always come back if I need to. I've only been here once but he has my loyalty. read more

I took my dad's Nikon F3 and FE2 here and had a good experience. This is a one man shop so it may take time for your work to be completed, but if you're not in a hurry, the craftsmanship and price is worth the wait. I am glad I found the shop thanks to yelp and google. Mike brought my dad's original cameras back to life. For reference: - Nikon F3 had a shutter and electronic issue (FIXED) - Nikon FE2 had a electronic issue (FIXED) read more

Mike is the BEST super chill. I had broken my AE-1 while on a trip in Europe. Thought getting it fixed back home would be cheaper and IT WAS! He was fast and reliable. Knows his stuff. Highly recommend read more

Tried asking if this business can fix my camera. Worst customer service ever. Said he has been doing business for 40 years. When I asked him if he can fix my specific camera, he said no and hung up. That's a nice way to treat a potential customer! read more

Mike at camera tech of Anaheim is a great technician and an honest person.

The cost was extremely fair for the work that was performed . I will always come back to camera tech of Anaheim whenever I acquire vintage gear .That way I can have more time shooting and less time being frustrated with gear that does not work properly!

Mike did a great job cleaning my camera and lenses. I will be back! 10/10 thanks again

BEST CAMERA REPAIR SHOP!!!!!!!!!!! Recently my flash was not working. Brought it here. Took a few weeks to repair which was no problem. Reasonable cost, great customer service! I'll drive 30 minutes no problem any day to give our business to this shop!!!! If you need anything to repair on a camera device. Hands down! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Mike is an honest, kind, and extremely knowledgeable craftsman. I came in later than expected due to traffic and it was near closing time so I asked him how much it would cost to repair my AE-1 Program's squeaky shutter. I apologized for arriving 10 minutes before closing and he assured me it was no problem, and to call him tomorrow for a quote. Over the phone he asked me when I wanted it by, which was a nice gesture in itself. I figured I wouldn't receive my camera back any less than a week after confirming I wanted to follow through with the repair, but within 2 days he called me to let me know the job was done. Through our short conversations it was apparent he wasn't an elitist photographer like others I've encountered, who might intimidate amateurs like myself. He charged me fairly, and it was nice to converse with him. I won't hesitate to return if I have any cameras in need of repair, and I sincerely encourage anyone to give him a visit over a chain or online resource. read more

A bit of context: So I got some sand in my focusing mechanism and I decided it would be a smart idea to try and dismantle my $850 vintage lens to get the sand out. Quick in, quick out right? Wrong. I dismantled it and 6 hours later I couldn't get it back together. So I look up some camera repair shops and I spend the day going to a couple shops to get quotes. No-one wanted to reassemble my lens because it was such a difficult and tedious job. Everyone was quoting me around $300-$600 to reassemble the lens. Samy's actually recommended that I go here or Adam's electronics. So I went to Adam's first and they actually recommended me to this place. Initially, this was on one of the places I had marked to check out but the shop wasn't open earlier that day so I decided to come back later. Fast forward to 3 PM and I give Mike a call and he initially says he can't do it but I'm free to come over so he can check it out. I come to the shop and it's full of vintage cameras and lenses. I'm a camera geek so initially I was kind of in awe. But I was also a bit skeptical considering the poor upkeep of the shop. Nonetheless, it didn't affect how I viewed Mike or his craftsmanship. It also drastically helped that all the reviewers on Google and Yelp gave him such favorable ratings. I show him all the parts of the lens and he takes a look at it in the back. He tells me if I want to leave it overnight he can quote me tomorrow. So I agree and go on my way. Fast forward to tomorrow: I call in and ask him what his quote is. He says $100-$150 in 3-4 hours. I was taken aback. This was an incredibly good quote and much better than anyone else so I eagerly consent to letting him reassemble it. I was excited. I give him 1-2 weeks to work on it before calling in to see how he was coming along with the lens. He says he's having quite a bit of trouble with the aperture springs and he's already spent 8 hours, staying up till 2 in the morning, working on it. He says it's going to be an expensive job. I was a bit let down to be honest but I expected that it was going to be a pricey job no matter how good his estimate was. The very next day he calls back and says he's done with the lens and the final price for the job is $220. I was excited and relieved as I was anticipating a job within the ballpark of $400-$600. I felt bad so I ended up paying him $260 for his time and trouble. I hurry over to his shop and see my lens back in its reassembled glory. I give it a few test shots and it works exactly as it should. I was impressed and extremely happy that Mike was able to pull through with this job. The focusing mechanism was relubed as if it was straight out of the factory. We had a short conversation and I was on my way shortly. I don't normally leave reviews but I firmly believe Mike deserves a long and well written review because when all the big camera shops rejected me, he took my lens in and actually fixed it AND gave me the best price on top of everything. I really do sincerely wish the best for Mike and will do my best to refer him in the future to all my photography friends. read more

This guy said he could fix my Nikon coolpix p520. It's a pretty new camera and it won't power on. Seems like a pretty simple fix. I went in a few times because he never returns your calls and never answers the phone. Should have seen the red flags there. The first time we went in he couldn't even find my camera because he didn't put it in his system. Well another red flag. But he said he could fix it so I left it there. He kept saying he's waiting for parts. Well.... 6 months later I go in to pick it up fixed or not and he says sorry I can't get parts. What a joke. Save yourself the trouble and don't go here. He couldn't even call to tell me he couldn't do it and to come pick it up. Who runs a business like that. I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars. Yelp is BS now. read more

I've used these facility multiple times for sensor and mirror cleaning. Always quality work.

Mike repaired my Mamiya 645 pro tl camera shutter leaf and when I picked it up I asked if he checked the shutter speeds and he said he did but a test rolled revealed something was way off on 1/500. A measurement tool revealed 1/500 was 1/50 and all the other speeds were about 2x over. Only 1/125 was close. I would never trust this guy. This repair cost me $490 and it's basically useless now. He said there was nothing he could do. Thanks read more

Wonderful experience coming here! He took care of all my questions and helped repair my vlogging camera when I sadly dropped my Canon g7x and my buttons stopped working, mike took care of it within 2 weeks! He is the best! I apologize it took me this long to leave a review. Please try this place! He's very knowledgeable! Will be coming back to get my other camera fixed. read more

I originally found Mike (aka the Camera Tech) well over a decade ago when my old Nikon N70 shorted out on Christmas morning. I went back and forth on whether or not to fix it or replace it, but I really did love the body (yeah, I was one of the few that actually did like the N70) so I decided that as long as the repair was reasonable, I would have it fixed. I went to my local Mom & Pop camera shop and they referred me to Mike. When I dropped of my body he asked asked me to give him a call in a couple days and he would have an estimate for me. He actually called me the next morning with a question.. "Have you gotten your camera wet?" I replied that I hadn't and he found it odd. Said the camera's control board was all corroded and that it was indicative of excess moisture. I thought back and revised my answer.. "Actually, yes." I said. About five months ago, I was shooting in Arizona and got caught in a surprise downpour, (who'd have thunk it.. AZ has a monsoon season!) but my camera had been working just fine since. He explained to me that it took time for the guts to deteriorate (usually 4 to 6 months) to the point of failure. He was right on the money. He had to actually order the part from Nikon so the repair took longer than expected, but all in all he did a fantastic job and at an even better price. Since then, I have taken in close to a dozen cameras ranging from a couple twin lens reflexes to an old Crown Graphix 4x5, to modern DSLRs and today my Dad's Panasonic Lumix ZS7 P&S. Actually, Mike scolded me after he did a cleaning on my Nikon D200. He told me that it was, by far the dirtiest camera he had ever worked on. I told him that it didn't surprise me which was why I had it in getting a good cleaning. He asked me what I did and I explained to him that I do a lot of off roading out in the desert and that the camera went with me everywhere. As dusty as our local deserts are, the camera couldn't help but get dust all through it. I promised him that I would bring it in more often so that it didn't get that bad again. All in all, Mike is an EXTREMELY honest business man and is probably the most talented camera and lens repairman that I have had the pleasure of meeting. I truly hope he never retires because I guarantee we will never find anyone else like him. read more

Camera Tech - I love walking in to his shop and seeing his collection of cameras, ancient to present day. - Electronics Repair Near Me - Orange, California

Where do I start with how pleased I am with Camera Tech? Mike is a wonderful gentleman who was great to talk to and work with. He was able to quickly identify the issue and offered a quote for repair. Less than a week later I received a call that my lens was fixed and ready to be picked up! I shopped around a few repair shops before choosing this one, and I'm glad I made this decision. Mike was able to get my lens back in half the time other shops were quoting and for almost a third the price. Lens works like new, I'm blown away at how it works even better than it did when I bought it used years ago. Highly recommend this company, he knows what he is doing and is fair with customers. read more

Camera Tech 5 Stars Overall Gold Medal - Fixed camera Silver Medal - Affordable Bronze Medal - Fast Cameras are usually not worth repairing, since the repairs are almost the same amount of a new camera. I found this place on yelp and figured, lets give it a try. I brought 2 of my broken cameras into Camera Tech for repair. The owner Mike was very nice and informational. He suggested what might be wrong with the camera and gave a estimate. Mike asked when the camera needed to be done and worked with our schedule. A couple of days later, I got a call and Mike said that the camera were ready to be picked up. I think I paid $35-$40 for each camera. Sure beats paying $100+ for a new camera. Now I am ready to start snapping away! Mike is a genius!! HAPPY PHOTOING!!! read more

Can't comment on the camera work but can comment on business practices. Yelp says the shop opens at 11:00am. Google says the shop opens at noon. I called before leaving home and phone just rings. No voicemail. I left home in time to arrive after noon. At 12:15 door is still locked. The sign on the door says open at 11:00am. Another potential customer was waiting also and he checked with a neighboring shop. They said the camera shop opens at 1:00pm. So I wasted about an hour driving and 15 minutes in the parking lot. I would highly recommend keeping your business information up to date if you value customers. read more
