Good Service, very helpful and also informative on what your looking for in a camera along with the accessories/ equipment/ lighting

The tech appears to be knowledgeable and while I did not choose to have the camera repaired due to camera value va repair cost I think the estimate was fair for the effort that would have been required to fix it read more

Nice place, friendly, professional service. I highly recommend. Store is well laid out, a lot of high-quality merchandise read more

Getting a quote / estimate online was easy enough. Called David at the store before I went to pick up my rental to confirm the details. They do not accept Apple Pay for the rental deposit (makes sense). They will ask for the physical credit card and your ID (because scammers ruined everything). Street parking can be tricky since Harbor is a busy road. But there are lots of parking in the nearby plazas. Rental: Canon 70-200 EF iii Equipment: Good quality and well-maintained. Duration: Friday to Monday Deposit: $400 on a credit card Verification: they will ask for ID or DL Return process: seamless and easy. The deposit hold was released right away. Highly recommend this shop. Looking forward to shopping and renting here into my long life. read more

See all

Great camera store. The personnel are very helpful and knowledgeable. Zero douchebag factor...IYKYK ;). Ive been taking film photography classes and have been coming here the past year or so and always get great service. read more

Great service from Dave and Christian, They were able to recommend a reasonably priced beginner camera with lens for my daughter. They took their time and answered all of my questions. Much appreciated read more

Great store. Great prices. Great service. Cristian was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful!

Can accept that a business is out to be profitable and the buy low sell high is part of this. Was getting some quotes to gauge options to sell locally. Dave was pleasant on the phone and in person. I was already aware the gear would be low balled when over the phone he mentioned $100. His email was we can discuss. Gear is in LN level condition and fully functioning. I seldom shot this rig so these remained shelf decorations. Contax G1 28mm-caps, case, lens hood 45mm-caps, case, lens hood 90mm-caps, case, lens hood TLA 200 flash. Dave evaluated it and offered $300. Declined the offer BTW. read more

They took my passport photos and printed them up perfectly. I set an appointment (which was odd for passport photos) and they were super nice and professional. read more

They scanned 1000 35mm slides for me. Old family photos. Finished the job 1 week early and the results were SPECTACULAR !! Came out just perfect. Great communication, called me several times with updates. I'm very happy. Price was reasonable as well. We will be back. read more

Very good source of camera equipment. They even offer film and retro cameras and lenses.

My boyfriend and I came in today and a couple weeks ago with a 35 mm camera that we are very new to. Immediately we were attended to and helped out in extreme detail with how to operate it, what lenses would help me, what film to choose, and any other question I had. The two gentlemen, one of which the manager; went out of their way to give me more information and tested it for us to verify that the camera I had purchased from an outside retailer function appropriately. This is my second time coming in and the knowledge that they possess is more than I knew prior to coming in. They genuinely want to help you and are passionate about photography and film! I recommend coming in for any need you have because it is a very welcoming environment and I'm very excited now to proceed with my camera thank you two both!! read more

I miss Fullerton cameras!! I figured we would try image one now for our film development. Definitely took longer than Fullerton cameras would have. And seems a lot pricier. We developed the same amount of film and it was definitely more costly. This was not including a CD with our pictures . For the price we paid at image one, we could've developed and received a CD from Fullerton cameras. My husband also paid for the development when he dropped off the film. When he picked up, they stated it costs extra so they charged him an additional fee. My husband thinks the new staff is not as friendly and not as knowledgeable. They're there to just run a business. Nothing more , not even an education on cameras/ film. Will not be coming back read more

Do not bring your vintage cameras for repair at this establishment. The shop staff is very nice but sadly their repair people do not know their way around Polaroid Sx-70's. Their communication is extremely poor and they charge you a non-refundable $15 for a "repair estimate". Don't waste your time. One of my cameras suffered a fall and was slightly out of alignment to where it wouldn't close, when I brought it in I was told that their repair person was familiar with this camera and would be able to fix it no problem but they would contact me within a week to let me know the cost. A week goes by and I had not heard anything so I call the shop and am informed that my camera was taken to a different location (without my consent) because the original repair person didn't know how to fix it. I was very upset with the miscommunication and let them know that I would be picking up my camera the next day. The next day before I go in to the shop I receive a phone call from the shop stating that the repair person (who could not figure out the issue initially) had taken a look at it and it would cost $300 to repair. So what was the actual truth? They are incompetent and wasted a week of my time along with $15 for their "repair estimate" that basically gets you a new camera. read more

Let me start off by saying I truly miss Fullerton camera and thier staff! They were professional and friendly. Now to my review.... Went in with the wifey on Saturday to purchase gear for my wife's new studio. We were greeted by thier rep and the interaction was fine. He was informative and helpful. Where things go a little south was today! We went in to return an item that we had purchased on Saturday. We found a far superior item and it was more cost effective. During the return he informed us that thier would be a 15% restocking fee . My wife said that's a lot of money. Now I don't know that he was intentionally condescending but his response was its only $10. It's not the full price of the receipt. Ummmm sir I'm very aware of my purchases on Saturday and know exactly what I purchased (said to myself). My wife then said just give me store credit to avoid that restocking fee. I think she had hope that we would return. His response was I can't do that I still have to charge the restocking fee. Now in my mind I know I had a conversation with this guy about putting down $3000 on a new camera for my wife because I told him we opened a studio. Very dumb move! I had the cash in my pocket at that very moment to buy her the camera as a gift! Way to enforce rules! You gained a free $10 and lost a $3000 sale and a dedicated customer. Over the years we've spent tens of thousands of dollars at Fullerton Camera. I guess you messed up! Now my bar for customer service is set very high because I own a customer service based business and my reviews are stellar! My emoyees are all on point! I can't say the same for this place. And to the other employee that had the staring issue unpacking the box of cameras be very careful at your respect level. I didn't appreciate the side eye. To whoever is monitoring this yelp account I hope this finds you well and I hope you are outraged at losing a sizeable sale and a customer that would have spent a lot of money there. I know I'd be outraged. read more

This place honestly tries beyond to make a profit out of you, not so long ago I wanted to see how much would it cost me to trade in a lens that was worth $1,800 for a lens that's worth $1,300 and some how some way with "their insurance" they wanted me to pay $1,400 and my lens trade in would only be $600 like how?!?! And their rental system is beyond crazy, most other rental places don't even ask you to withhold that crazy amount of money rather just your ID/Credit or debit card and won't take any actual amount of money from you, I want to help out small businesses but making everything crazy expensive really doesn't help out, and the photography and videography field is expensive as is, this doesn't help out at all for people. read more

Try to sell an used equipment, and they tried to rip me off, I know they have to make money, but this is ridiculous, I miss Mike he was a decent and fair person PS Stay away from getting 'credit' there also a total rip-off read more

I called to understand their rental process and the guy was so helpful on the phone and really took time to answer all of my questions. When I came into the store they were friendly and kind. Super easy process and really thankful to have somewhere to rent again! Just as a tip, they recommend calling to reserve your rental in advance to make sure they have it in stock, I called a week ahead of time and had no issue. read more

This place is really cool - I like their selection of film. I had some developed for my brother and myself. Quick turn around time. The staff was friendly and professional. Very knowledgeable. I'll be back! read more

Just got my first film camera from ImageOne-Fullerton and also sent my disposable camera film to be digitized. Dave and Dom were super helpful to me and my family in letting us understand film as well as fixing a broken camera lens we have. I actually rented out my first camera from here and it got me into professional photography. Dave also helped me understand how to use the film camera and gave me a step-by-step tutorial. This will definitely be my go-to spot for all camera and videography and film needs. Thank you Dave and Dom for everything! (: read more

I was looking for a lens rental when I came across. It was one camera in Fullerton and decided to stop by. I was assisted as soon as It was my turn next in line which didn't take too long and I was immediately given the information I needed and I was pointed in the right direction given what was available last minute. Highly recommend this location. read more

I like this place. I see a bunch of negative reviews about specific services that I can't really speak for. But as far as the shop itself, I thought they were very friendly folks who know a decent amount about the gear they sell. It always makes me laugh when people complain about film prices. When you factor in inflation, it's exactly the same as it was in the 90s. They were honest with me in pointing out that film is often cheaper online, which is true to an extent. But you usually have to pay shipping costs anyways. Not to mention paying a little extra for the convenience of grabbing a couple of rolls in a hurry when you wake up and decide that you feel like shooting that day. read more

I had a last-minute photo job and needed some equipment different from what I own/typically use. From the start (over the phone), the team at Image One was professional, courteous, friendly and helpful. When I got to the store, the team there provided great service...(patiently) answering questions, helping me understand the equipment, etc. Tony Chavez, one of the associates, was great to work with -- again, from start to finish. Thanks to his help and guidance, I was able to fulfill my assignment(s)...which have led to additional jobs. I'll be coming back to Image One for my photo needs! read more

I was looking for some advice on what accessories to purchase for my Sony camera and Tony Chavez was super helpful and gave insightful information on what I should buy. I am definitely coming back for my camera needs! read more

Love this place! They had an awesome selection of lenses for my Canon A-1 and film. Dominick was a great help in showing me all the accessories I needed. I will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

absolutely love working with these guys! they're always willing to help and answer any questions i have. what i love is that they'll never steer me to spending more money, just for the "best thing" but will understand the needs and offer what is appropriate! david is always a huge help + working with tony, the fastest guy from corona has always been ready to step up. they offer rentals, repairs, film development, and so much more! they always do their best read more

Dominick was amazing explaining the differences in each camera body and recommended a great camera for my family and to use for taking photos for our Christmas Cards. read more

Just recently purchased my camera R8, super excited to use it! Was very happy with the customer service as well, I told them what I needed the camera for and they gave me options for what would be best for me. Super happy with my purchase! Highly recommend! read more

What a great place! Whenever I get a chance to stop by the employees are always so helpful and always have great suggestions. I would highly recommend this shop for all your photo needs. read more

Everyone is going on and on about fullerton cameras, but let me tell you, living near by I always had trouble getting the proper gear and accessories needed. I felt they cater and focused on the vintage and film community. As a multimedia professional I need a store that has the latest gear to work with on the field. Other camera stores are way over priced and feel like being at a car dealership every time, selling you stuff you don't need. I've been shooting for over 10 years and I do photos and videos, so when ImageOne came around I was excited cause I knew they would be bringing in the latest gear for the professional to keep up to date with the changing tech world. Everytime I go in looking for a particular product or accessories they go on beyond to meet my expectations. If there's an item they don't have they will get on the phone or online to get me that product. Not to mention they always try to give me the best price. Working on different genres, they are able to help with either build a set, or a rig, rent gear, or even accessory hardware that I need for the shoot. I definitely recommend this place, they are very friendly and knowledgeable with the latest gear. read more

I loveeeeee love this place they got everything i need from rental to all the equipment and also you can start selling prints to your customers because they do all sizes and canvases and alot of stuff the vibe is beautiful and they know alot thank you guys for always being there when i need something read more

Awhile back I was in search of a solid camera for both portraiture and videography/cinematography. Thanks to help for Henry, I landed on a solid mirrorless camera, the EOS R8! He helped me whittle it down to a beginner friendly and entry level camera alongside a solid F1.8 50mm lens. I really appreciate the effort and thought to fulfill what I want with what I had in mind when buying a new camera! read more

Great customer service. Tony helped my assistant select the right lens rental for our wedding shoot. Thanks again Tony! I'll be back for my next shoot. read more

Tony Chavez is one of the best camera salesman I've ever encountered in my life. The second you walk in and ask for Tony Chavez. I came in with only $1000 in my bank account and left $500 in debt but I had some of the best cameras on the market. read more

Amazing service! I went in with my film camera to get it tested and the service was insanely good. They tested the camera, taught me how to load the camera, the cameras features and how to shoot with it, and how to clean it and take care of it. I definitely didn't expect that and it honestly made my day. I'm definitely coming back here to develop my photos! read more

In all the years I've been coming here I've never had a bad experience. I moved and took my camera to Samy's Camera in Santa Ana and have had the worst experience imaginable. Garbage customer service. I cannot wait to pick my camera up tomorrow and bring it over to this store. I'll be taking the extra drive to come here but will be well worth the positive customer service. Thanks for always being a stand up store. read more

Went in today to by a camera and film for class. Dominick helped me out and was incredibly helpful and knew his products! I would definitely recommend any local students to come in and take a look at their film selection, it's incredible! read more

Have been coming here since college it was an amazing camera shop with great people. Noticed how I said it was! Young guy at the counter didn't even know how to open my camera was sticking his fingers in it touching The mirror. came in with over $300 worth of film camera equipment to exchange and they told me they would give me free light Seals And a cleaning when I used to get that for $35. They don't do repairs in shop anymore. They're selection of film also isn't the best better off going to Samy's for that mater, everything is overpriced. read more

I purchased a film camera and was helped by Tony. He was very friendly and welcoming. This was my first time purchasing a camera, and he truly made the experience a breeze. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with answering all of my questions. He helped me look at different camera models and went over the different features of each one. He did an excellent job explaining everything, and even let me know that I can get my film developed through them. I will definitely be back!!! Overall, I had a great experience thanks to Tony :) read more

They have a great selection for rentals, but that's where the good stops. Everything in the store is overpriced, especially if you're into film photography at all. They charge 150% of market value for most film, it's laughable. read more
