This 30 year customer continues to be satisfied by the selection and price of camera equipment at 42 st photo. Years ago it was the store or the catalog that drove my purchases, but these days, living on the wrong cost, I find my bargains through the web site.

I always check first with 42nd Street Photo for anything electronic I am looking for. They invariably have the best prices and the personal and friendly customer service is a real bonus. They were very helpful with my many questions about my new camera after I purchased it. I completely recommend these guys without hesitation!

Purchased a lens that I had been looking for. A salesman called me and we clarified what I was looking for. He gave me a great price and I received it in a timely manner without any issues

I place an order for a Canon Powershot G3 X 20.2 Megapixel Digital Camera with a Canon S Starter Accessory Package Kit-A. Much to my surprise, I received a call from 42nd Street Photo. The knowledgeable and courteous customer service person informed me that the memory card that was included in the Starter Kit wasn't my best option to achieve the picture quality that the camera I ordered was capable of taking. I am so glad that they took the time to call me and let me know. I was able to change my order over the phone. Quick and easy. I am very happy with my purchase and the customer service that 42nd Street Photo extended to me as a customer. I'm very happy with my purchase and would purchase from them again.

I've always had a great experience ordering from 42nd Street Photo, and my recent camera order was no exception! The price was right, and the camera arrived in just a couple of days. I'm confident I will order again whenever I need camera or other electronic equipment.

Bought my Canon DLSR and lenses, a Nikon lens for my daughter-in-law. Great prices, superior service and follow up. Best place that I've found to shop for new photo gear on line.

I bought a high end camera lens from 42nd St. Photo earlier this year. The price was lower than the other sites. The lens was shipped quickly and well packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

I was uncertain as to what Canon body to get and they very thoroughly questioned me about what my photography usage was, and then made pertinent suggestions. I ended up with the Canon 6D based on their suggestions and am very happy with that choice.

Great Photo Shop!
June 2, 2016

You know 42nd Street Photo must be a great store to get my attention all the way out here in Utah. Their price on the Leica Camera I was looking for was priced very fair, they shipped the camera immediately after I ordered it, and the owner even followed up with me by phone to make sure I was happy. A year later I even received a follow up call to make sure I was still happy. I recommend this store, and will go back for my future camera needs. Thank you 42nd Street Photo!

42nd photo offered the best price on my Sony OSS lens. They also called me to confirm delivery arrangements. The product was delivered (UPS) as promised, and the vendors included a free photo cleaning kit! I would recommend these guys for sure, and will definitely place my next order for photo equipment with them again.

I was nervous; I mean if I had a problem, how would they react? Turns out that I was both surprised and pleased. These guys offer no hassle deals, prompt deliveries, and great customer service. I'm a Southern boy, and I've learned to say: "What's not to like?"

I've purchased various camera products over the years including telephoto lenses and Kodachrome slide film. (Yes! I still have some in my freezer!) Ebay makes ordering an easy task. Commit to buy with Ebay and use PayPal to pay. I could track my purchase. No phone calls. I ordered at 2 am. I'm happy.

I bought a camera from 42photo.com and could not have had a more pleasant transaction. I know that many people are afraid to buy over the internet but I can say that the camera came with everything as promised and the value was unbeatable! Don't be afraid to buy from this site.
