Purchased a camera for my grand daughter from 42photo. I wasn't real sure what I needed. Called 42photo and they were more than willing and able to give me the info I needed to make a decision.

Great experience. Will definitely buy from them again.

42nd St. Is the go to place to purchase electronic items. I have personally ordered cameras, lenses, and memory cards. It is also the best price for color toner cartridges. USB Flash Drives. Even my Google smartphone, it's all good!

After searching the web for this lens, I came to the 42nd St. Photo site. Price was much better than other retailers. Very happy. Ordered on Monday and was promised delivery in three days to N. J. Have done business in the past, will do business in the future.

Hello: I had a very pleasant shopping experience at 42nd Street Photo. The sales person was very courteous to me when I purchased a Nikon Coolpix P900 camera about 10 months ago, and at the lowest price on the Internet. Also, he gave me a bargain when he sold a 5-year warrantee extension for the price of a 3 year plan. When I returned the camera for repairs, everything went smoothly.

Customer service
March 31, 2017

In years past I used B&H for optical products. Since then I have established a relationship with the quality folks at 42nd Street. The salesmen are knowledgeable, direct and very professional. 42nd Street has good prices and is very expeditious in getting the order processed and in my hands. This is all I can ask for.

I was pleased with the prices on my Nikon gear, and especially the help I received in putting together an extended warranty for it from the people at 42nd Photo. A call to them let everything fall into place.

I have dealt with several on line places, as we all have, 42nd Street Photo, is honest and very reliable, they don't push, they assist in your purchase. The equipment was delivered on time and more important on the right price. I will be a customer for life!

Very happy so far...

TheyequipmentI ordered a Canon EOS Rebel Digital T5i 18.0 Megapixel Digital Camera Body online, and the process was almost too simple. Used Paypal to complete the transaction.

The people I talked to in an inquiry phone call were very helpful and knowledgeable, and made my decision to use 42nd Street Photo easy. They had the best price I found on this particular item.

The shipping estimate said 3 - 6 days, and this is the 6th day, and haven't received the equipment yet, BUT they called me to verify some info a few days ago, and I didn't return the call until today. They said they would expedite the shipping for me!

Great business, and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Just bought a new camera from 42nd St Photo and it was a great experience. They had the camera I wanted at a price that was below all others including Amazon. Also the service was excellent and they even called to verify something before shipping. I will use them again.

The rep was very knowledgeable of Sigma products. Offered helpful suggestions, but not pushy, for accessories. Very accomodating. Good job!
