Had some UNFORTUNATE & TRAUMATIZING experience with this store today. I would leave ZERO star if I…read morecan and the store could totally avoid all these if they handled it even slight differently. Saw a used Sigma DP1M on their website (which I have been looking for for ages), called the store to put it on hold and told them I will be there in 1 hour to get it. When I arrived, what I saw is a guy walking out with the very same camera I asked to put on hold. I immediately asked the sales lady why they sold it when it is on hold for me and is there anything they can do. Instead trying to do anything (such as trying to talk to guy bought it to working something out), the sales lady just told me she sold it accidentally & there is nothing they can do and just let the guy walked out. Gotta say the handle the situation extremely poorly and I was very upset & disappointed. Even the smallest attempt trying to fix this (e.g. talking to the guy bought it, at least trying) will change my view completely, but the store chose to do absolutely NOTHING, not even trying. The whole thing definitely ruined my day. I did buy another camera from them after I calmed myself down. They may have good customer service but that doesn't change the fact the store dealt with the situation very unprofessionally and left a customer slightly traumatized, which is terrible for any shop to do.

The hilarious Welshman that owns this camera store will take baby passport photos for you while…read morethrowing in the needed humour for this task. He lays your baby on a white sheet of paper and proceeds to snap photos of your baby with her eyes closed, drool coming out, mouth open etc. etc. until he finally gets one shot of baby that'll be accepted by the passport office. Really friendly service and I'll be back if I need any camera equipment sorted :)

I really know nothing about cameras, so when mine would no longer take pictures, I had no idea what…read morewas wrong with it. Being an expensive camera, and a 21st birthday present, I didn't mind paying to get it fixed. I was recommended this place by a friend of a friend. It took a few days, but I soon had my camera back, good as new. The cost to repair it would have probably brought me a new fairly decent camera, but overall I was glad to have my camera back. The owner (I think?) was really nice, and helpful. He talked me through the issues, and what was wrong with it, and estimated the cost to fix (it actually ended up being a bit cheaper than I was quoted).

Croydon Camera House is a bigger, cheaper version of Teds Camera House... pretty much. (Cheaper in…read moreterms of prices that is, the stock here is of high quality.) It has photo printing machines so patrons can print their own photos and even edit them. There is the option to print on photo paper of various sizes as well as on canvas or make an album. In terms of products they have SLR cameras, lenses and accessories like tripods and cases. They also stock pocket size digital cameras and memory cards. When I was last there they were having a 20% sale on photo frames and if I didn't have so many already I definitely would have picked up a few more. The staff here are always quite busy and it is common to have to wait a few minutes for service. When you do get service however, the staff are really knowledgeable.

Then I rang Camera House Croydon and they offered me the cheapest price, I was surprised that even stores such as JB-HI-FI couldn't give a better price. The staff were very helpful and offered great advice.
