Adorama ranks in my personal top tier of electronics stores globally, alongside boutique retailers…read morelike B&H Photo and Abt Electronics, plus Micro Center if you're considering chains. It feels a bit like a cousin of B&H with a slightly different personality and focus, but the same strong sense of expertise and professionalism. The store is large but not overwhelming, well-organized, and clearly oriented toward photography and content creation, though it also has dedicated sections for musical instruments and scuba gear that make the place feel unique. The scuba area is a little unexpected at first, but I suppose people who love gadgets and gear often overlap with that world as well. I honestly haven't purchased much here over the years aside from a few items, though I definitely bought a PlayStation controller here during COVID. A lot of the appeal for me was simply walking around, learning about new products, and talking with staff who actually know what they're discussing. You really get the sense that the employees are enthusiasts and specialists, not just salespeople. Their pricing also feels very competitive, with an emphasis on staying current and cutting-edge while still maintaining a "money well spent" mentality around sales and service. The atmosphere is calm and professional, and while the store is smaller than B&H or Abt, it's still an excellent size. If you're downtown or near Union Square, it's also much more convenient than heading all the way to the Penn Station area. Highly recommend for anyone into electronics, photography, audio gear, or just technology in general.

He doesn't hesitate, and he doesn't even try to hide it. He will literally tell you that if you don't take the low offer, they won't send your equipment back. I wish the CEO, or whoever is above this guy, would do something about it, but he's been at it since the early 2010s and is still leading the way in scamming and straight up stealing people's money and equipment.

Attention actors!!!!…read more Need high quality photos/headshots printed quickly?! This is the place. I ordered a set of 20 headshots with my resume printed on the back. They turned this order around in less than 24hrs. Service was excellent. They sent me a proof of my order and an hour later I received a notification that my order was ready. Really nice doorman building. I was sent to the 5 floor. I stared my name and they showed my my order. Packaged it up and sent me off This is the best deal around. They also have a wide rancher of other services.

I went to print photos from my iPhone and they came out amazing! I printed both 4x7 photos and 5x7 photos. The process is easy. You go to the website and click upload photos. Bobby retrieves them on his end and gives you a choice of matte, glossy and luster. He shows you samples if you're unsure of what you want. I waited about 15 minutes and the prints were ready. Again, the process was super easy. I'm sure if you submit the upload ahead of time before going there you may not have to wait as long. Side note, everyone else there was printing headshots and resumes. They were all actors. This place is popular for headshots. I would recommend this place for all photo printing. The quality and colors is high quality even though they were digital prints from my iPhone.

They have gone out of their way to be helpful on multiple occasions - for example I've asked them basic questions, such as "why is this image underexposed" and they've stopped to patiently explain, despite being busy with other work. Highly recommend them.
