It takes a lot to get 5 stars out of me. It has to be an experience! When you go to a gear rental…read moreplace, you expect that they'll have gear to rent. You expect the gear to be in good condition and the experience to be pleasant. That would make for a 4 star experience in my book. But, Doug went above and beyond the call of duty. From helping me pick exactly what I needed and nothing I didn't, to communicating with my insurance company to make sure they had all the information I needed in the right place so that I would be properly covered should something go wrong. I called the man at the last minute "You got a slider?" the answer was "Yup" and it was promptly picked up. My delivery guys dropped the ball so Doug brought the gear to my shooting location which was luckily not too far from his office but still, way above and beyond what I expect a gear rental business to do. The best way I can describe it is pride of work. I will ALWAYS rent from Pro Gear Orlando! It's difficult not to; Doug made it, smooth, easy, painless, convenient, pick whichever adjective suits you best. Thank you Doug! I actually look forward to renting gear from you again :)

I will always turn to PRO gear Orlando & Chicago for our production needs as we work throughout the country. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I've been a patron of this store for many years now. While I do not visit it as often as I used to…read moreback in my collegiate and (worldwide) traveling days, I still pop in from time to time for my camera needs. Sometimes, I pop in just to see what new doo-dads and knick-knacks they have in store. Service is always good - at least I've never had any negative experiences. Staff are always kind and helpful. They have a good variety of popular / some vintage, and some niche items. Pricing can vary depending on what you are looking for. Usually, I find them comparable to other major retailers if you are looking at the more popular "items." However, you can get a good deal out of here. It really just depends on what it is you are in search of. All in all, this is a great little shop for your photography and hobby needs.

They have two stores at the same location. The store out front is the camera servicing store and…read morethe one tucked away behind it is the camera shop. We accidentally went into the shop first and were redirected to the service store by the nice young gentleman manning the counter there. The shop, I have to say is truly impressive with the selection of cameras and film rolls and accessories they have in stock! You'll find everything from vintage stuff to modern photography necessities in this place. I took my 12 year old Nikon P510 for servicing as I was having trouble with the LCD display. Michael helped me with the issue and advised that it needed a battery and/or charger replacement. Since he didn't have any EN-EL5 batteries or MH-61 chargers in stock for sale at the time, he directed me to sources where I can find them and didn't charge me a single dime for the consultation! This gentleman runs an honest business and is genuinely passionate about his craft. He and his team are kind, honest, considerate and true professionals. Will definitely recommend Kiwi Camera Service and Kiwi Camera Shop for all sorts of photography needs.

To say it's a time capsule would be a disservice, because everything at Kiwi has an application for modern creative photography. Take it from someone who's been pipping into mom-n-pop camera stores around the world since the 80s--the Kiwi Camera Service used store is worth a check. If you're like me, the least you'll walk out of there with is a handful of boutique-brand 120 film and a head swimming with ideas of how you're gonna shoot it.

I am so amazed by her talent and professionalism - her passion and genuine care for client satisfaction are so clear. She puts a lot of effort into getting a great variety of shots and has a fantastic eye for highlighting the best features. She goes out of her way to create an experience. Her pricing is very competitive, especially when you consider the value in the quality, talent, and overall experience she provides. During my professional shoot, she could tell I was not comfortable with my appearance. She addressed it immediately, and after learning I didn't love how my hair looked, she pulled out her flat iron and fixed it herself. I was blown away at the service. The shots came out perfect, and I received them quickly. I spent an entire day with her for my boudoir session. She provided wine, pastries, and chocolates while I had my hair and makeup professionally done in her studio. She helped me pick out my outfits and made me feel so beautiful and comfortable with myself. She took time to get to know my insecurities and worked with them both while shooting and in editing. She also knew I was trying to give these images to my boyfriend for his birthday less than 2 weeks later, and she made it happen with time to spare at no extra cost. In addition to the digital images for my boudoir shots, Yuliya recommended I get an album. She mentioned the print versions would really make a difference, and she was absolutely correct. The leather-bound album was very high quality and the shots really popped in print. When I gave my boyfriend the album and showed him the digital images, he also agreed the print versions did have a little something extra to them. I highly recommend Yuliya to anyone looking for photography services with a genuine artist/professional. I look forward to working with Yuliya more in the future!
