If you're a photographer - professional or hobbyist - George's Camera is where to go! This place…read morehas everything: lighting gear, camera bags, lenses, and enough accessories to make you question whether you've ever truly taken a "real" photo in your life. The staff? Walking encyclopedias. I'm convinced they collectively know every camera ever created, including the ones that were prototypes, rumors, or fever dreams. I brought in an old Canon my brother gave me--so old it probably qualifies for Social Security--and the gentleman behind the counter with the long white beard took one look and immediately knew its entire genealogy. Extremely helpful, extremely patient, and honestly, I'm 70% sure he's a wizard. If you're in North Park and need anything for your inner shutterbug or just want to bask in the glow of pure photographic tribal knowledge--George's is the spot!

The service at George's Camera is exceptional. Everyone there is kind and helpful.

I'm glad I gave them a chance & i'm sure they get calls all day checking inventory so it could get annoying. In person, staff was helpful & gave pretty good recommendations without feeling like a constant sales pitch. I was between two cameras. When I told them what I currently have in my collection, the worker was kind enough to weigh the pros and cons of my choices. I love that it wasn't priced double, like how it is online with other stores. They're authorized sellers of canon cameras without the crazy up-charge. I've gone to both locations, and definitely prefer this one bc of their thoroughness & attention to detail. Thank you!

I started going here a couple months ago for film development and negative scans and I've been…read moresuper pleased with the results. Compared to other places the prices are super reasonable and all my scans have come out great. They have multiple options for scan quality, and if you wanted to get super high quality scans for prints they offer that too. My normal turnaround time for scans has been 2 business days every time I've been, which is faster than a lot of other places and they hold your negatives afterward for 30 days I think, so the next time you bring in film you can just pick them up then.

Awesome service. I was helped in choosing a camera that fit my needs without being oversold.read more

The most important thing you need to know is that they fix them on site…read more So probably most of the camera places around town are going to send the camera here, You might as well just come to the source. This might be the only physical place in the area that has the tools and talent needed. it's a lost art so if you have a digital camera from back in the day, you may wanna bring it in sooner rather than later get it serviced. I don't know if you might pick it up again. and now words of joy Let me start off by where it ended. The person that checked me out, asked me a question what was I going to do with the cameras now? The honest answer was I wanted to preserve the cameras. So that if my nephews or nieces, decided that they wanted to shoot when they got olde. They could shoot with these old school digital cameras. So I bought new batteries. New cards had them serviced. Got a little screen thing for them to look at and then. Put everything into cases. This place was incredible and their turnaround time was way past my expectations. I brought them every single camera. I found that I thought someone 12- 20 would like to fiddle around with. Some they could some they could not. Its all just so wonderful.

The slides hadn't been stored or handled properly over the years but the scans turned out very well considering, and John's communication throughout the process was great. The photos came on a flash drive which was a nice bonus!

He is patient with questions and helping move the furniture around. It is a great studio with so many backdrops to choose from. There is a bluetooth speaker to hook up to so you can play music. There are fans and air conditioning when it gets warm. It is private and a great spot. The pricing is very reasonable and I have a good time shooting here. I wish it was closer to North County, so I could utilize it more often.
