Got a great deal on a top of the line 2018 model. What's more to say! Paid a few dollars extra for the next tier up in delivery and it showed up faster.

Satisfied with delivery. The technological characteristics of the camera confirmed my expectations. Already applied in practice, the photos turned out to be just wonderful.

I accidentally ordered a canon mount instead of a Sony Mount. I would've loved to exchange the two, but for some reason Adorama lists the rokinon 85 1.4 af for Sony about $100 more than any other site, so I just returned for a refund and ordered elsewhere. They made me pay return shipping despite advertising "the best return policy".

Black Friday Madness
December 11, 2019

So happy on how adorama handle my transaction on black friday sale the service was top notch. I was incredibly delighted on how much savings I had this time of the year. Been meaning to upgrade my lighting gear and Adorama has the very item that I wanted and drooling to use for months. I essentially bought a lot of stuff in incredible discount.

I received my order with missing important part - the FTZ mount adapter. This will still allow me to use my old Nikon lenses on the Z6. So, I cannot use the new Z6 camera without buying a new lens with Z mount. I called customer service and they are very slow resolving my problem, at this point I am not sure when I am going to receive my missing part. It is been already 6th day since I contacted. Clearly, they don't care for their costumers the way they should. I lost money and respect from not shooting an event that I promise I will do and also, I had to use my iPhone to take picture at my granddaughter dance recital. You can imagine taking photo in the darker room from distance instead using right photo gear. Disappointed at Adorama.com. Sorry, I am giving only one star because I cannot give zero. I am one of the many unhappy costumers that I know from lots of negative reviews for this website.

The flashpoint xplor 600 is an excellent strobe. Wicked fast recycle time, modeling light and powerful! I almost accidently bought the non-ttl version as the description is confusing *see attached. If you're purchasing the xplor 600, also get a C stand if you don't already have one; don't put an expensive strobe on a cheap/flimsy stand, especially on a boom arm. Watch videos/tutorials on setting up the light; I had a problem with the unit always switching to multi-mode after one shot, but think I have it sorted out now. I would upload sample photos, but a 5mb file size limit is much too small

Electronics are changing so fast that it seems we're always behind in technology. But Adorama makes cutting edge products accessible. Their customer service is friendly and if they can't help you they find someone who can. We are waiting until Christmas to open!

Horrible!

Horrible because I cannot use my credit line to order any product. Their automated system claims that I am potentially a theif and I am not.

When I need camera gear, I turn to Adorama a majority of the time because they have what I need in stock and have some of the best deals as well. Oftentimes they will offer free expedited shipping on items that I order, and their delivery estimate is always accurate.

Excellent experience!

I found a Fender 57 Custom Champ (reissue, of course) for $250 cheaper than I could find it anywhere else! The listing said it was used but in excellent condition, but I couldn't even tell it had been used. It even came in the original packaging.
LOVE my new little Fender amplifier!
It's a beast!

I adore Adorama!
November 13, 2019

Adorama made shopping for a camera as painless as it could be. Their site has lots filters so you can find a camera with the exact features you're looking for, they offer bundles that include all the accessories you'll need for your new camera and are a fantastic value, and I couldn't believe how quickly my order arrived. I wish all my online shopping experiences were as positive and frustration-free as this was!
