I'm glad I gave them a chance & i'm sure they get calls all day checking inventory so it could get annoying. In person, staff was helpful & gave pretty good recommendations without feeling like a constant sales pitch. I was between two cameras. When I told them what I currently have in my collection, the worker was kind enough to weigh the pros and cons of my choices. I love that it wasn't priced double, like how it is online with other stores. They're authorized sellers of canon cameras without the crazy up-charge. I've gone to both locations, and definitely prefer this one bc of their thoroughness & attention to detail. Thank you!

The gentleman behind the counter was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The store was clean and very busy, yet he never made me feel rushed. I needed several Photoshop adjustments, and he took the time to carefully address every single detail. I truly appreciated how thorough he was, especially since I came in feeling a little nervous about the whole process. He told me the photo would be ready the next morning when the store opened -- and sure enough, it was ready and absolutely beautiful. The quality exceeded my expectations. Customer service like this is rare. Professional, attentive, and reliable from start to finish. I highly recommend Total Photo in Encinitas for anyone needing high-quality photo services.

If you're a photographer - professional or hobbyist - George's Camera is where to go! This place…read morehas everything: lighting gear, camera bags, lenses, and enough accessories to make you question whether you've ever truly taken a "real" photo in your life. The staff? Walking encyclopedias. I'm convinced they collectively know every camera ever created, including the ones that were prototypes, rumors, or fever dreams. I brought in an old Canon my brother gave me--so old it probably qualifies for Social Security--and the gentleman behind the counter with the long white beard took one look and immediately knew its entire genealogy. Extremely helpful, extremely patient, and honestly, I'm 70% sure he's a wizard. If you're in North Park and need anything for your inner shutterbug or just want to bask in the glow of pure photographic tribal knowledge--George's is the spot!
