I've used them three times now for disposable film developing. It's a bit pricier than National Camera Exchange for film and developing, but still reasonable. They have straightforward but helpful customer service. Turnaround time on disposable camera film is a week and they make it easy to drop off / pick up. I got print and digital copies each time, and one of the times I had to follow up twice to receive my digital copies as they hadn't sent to me by the end of the pickup day, but after a call their way we got it resolved. One of the staff members also helped me with some questions I had on a camera I inherited and gave helpful professional insight. A convenient location for photographers of all levels, from disposable camera users to professionals!

This spot has been a great resource for me for developing disposable camera film and learning more…read moreabout cameras! I originally came in here with a camera I inherited from my gpa. The staff took the time to tell me all about the camera, what film it would take, and even taught me a bit about its different buttons and such. They helped me pick out film and a new battery for it and feel comfortable using it for the first time. They were patient with a camera newbie like me and ready to educate. I have also developed disposable camera film here, and it's been affordable and easy.

This is one of the last true old-school camera shops around. If you love photography, it's worth a…read morevisit just to see rows of gear you won't find in a big-box store. They carry new models from most major brands (no Lumix), plus a rotating selection of used cameras. Beyond bodies and lenses, they've got all the accessories--bags, lights, filters, film processing, straps, batteries--you name it. The staff know their stuff, no question. The only catch is personality: sometimes you'll get an excellent, friendly expert who really listens and helps, and other times you'll get someone who seems disengaged or uninterested. When it clicks, it's fantastic. When it doesn't, you walk out frustrated. Prices are mostly fair but not better than what you'll find online. Their "sales" on top-tier cameras usually match industry discounts--not deep bargains. Returns are tricky: you technically get 30 days, but with a 10% restocking fee. On a $4K camera, that's hundreds lost. If you're unsure about your purchase, consider buying from Amazon or B&H for added safety. Trade-ins can be hit or miss. I've had surprisingly fair offers, as well as others that were laughably low. One camera they offered me $800 for, sold the next day for $1,400. Another time, they lowballed a hot-ticket Fuji X100VI at $800, saying there was a glut of this model. But they had a waitlist for the same model. Store layout could also use work--cameras are in cases that get blocked whenever someone else is being helped, meaning you can stand around 20 minutes just to peek at the gear. UPDATE: My last transaction with the company has led me to question their integrity as a business. I returned a used Sony A7R V that they sold to me as new. They charged a $320 "restock" fee, and they refused to return the camera I traded in for the transaction. In total, they kept nearly $800 from the transaction. They gaslit me about it. My media company has business accounts with four vendors for gear, and we've never had a situation this lopsided. Please be vigilant about details and documentation when buying from them. They can take advantage if you don't. You should always be fair as a customer because business is about relationships. But also realize that not all companies have that same ethic.

You can certainly find less expensive photo developing elsewhere, but The Camera Shop offers excellent, personalized, customer service, as well as specialty products and services that you won't find elsewhere. They're even able to develop film (like the old Seattle FilmWorks film) that other shops can't. Whatever your photo/camera needs are, The Camera Shop can help.

The package price was extremely reasonable, with a small down payment required at our appointment. There was plenty of free parking, both on the side of the building and on W 7th St, and the location was easy to find and access - it shares an entryway with Growler in a cool old brick building with green trim. One of the many backgrounds inside was the exposed red brick wall! Our experience was so great from my mom making the appointment to Libby's skill and warmth at our session that we've decided to make getting our portraits at the Photographer's Guild an annual Thanksgiving tradition.

They offer basic and pro image scans, the difference is that pro image scans are color and density corrected while basic scans don't have corrections. Basic scans for size medium is $11/roll and pro scans for size small $15/roll. For that price, I'd suggest going for the pro scans in size small if you only need to print 4x6 photos or need the photos for posting on social media. They have sample scans of the same photos in store so you can see for yourself the difference between the scans. More info on pricing here https://www.fastfotofilm.com/fastfoto-film-lab-order-form.pdf If you wish to keep your negatives, you'd have to go pick it up. They will keep it for 30 days before throwing it away. You also have the option to pay $10 to get them mailed back to you. They have some film stocks available in store but the prices are significantly higher here compared to other retailers. I just wish this place was closer to Minneapolis, though, since I take public transportation.
