Best Camera Store Cambridge Near Me

May Braverman: I stopped in today to get my camera looked at and to pick up some lens wipes, Cecilia was incredibly helpful and took the time to show me how to use the cleaning tools!

Alexander James L: The pros:Staff are open and honest about their pricing for second hand, so you know what kind of deal you're getting.Lots of film available, though the mark up is a little pricy.Staff are generally friendly when selling you something, but this is to be expected.The cons :Film development here is really expensive given how slow it is, even if you don't get scans. Also, it took four weeks for my rolls to come back which is somewhat absurd. I was told this was because they're sent off to another lab when pushed, but I was given a timeline of one to two weeks at the store.Worst of all, one of the rolls I got back was completely blacked out, even the coding along the sides. Store staff first said it was due to camera not exposing, but this would produce the opposite effect of clear negatives with the side coding visible. The only conclusion I can come to (this was a roll of hp5 I had bought from here) is that the lab they sent the rolls too had messed up this particular one. If it had been the fault of the camera I'd expect each frame to be black respectively but the coding should be easily readable if developed properly. Given that the entire roll was black this indicates the film has been exposed to light out of the canister prior to development and the lab is likely at fault. I was just told by staff it's probably my cameras fault and that was that. Wasn't offered any other sort of compensation.... Wouldnt come back for film related items, there are other local labs that are cheaper with better service.

Joey Spadoni: Fantastic customer experience. The manager went above and beyond to help give me that famous “Leica experience” after I had a bad time buying from an online used distributor. So glad I bought from Leica Store Boston! Plus the gallery inside is awesome!

Abby Paul: The customer service is incredible! After being recommended to come here to get the sensor in my camera cleaned I have absolutely no regrets! Not only were the staff friendly and helpful for a newbie photographer but they provided a great cleaning job (Thanks Griffin).My story does not stop there. After getting my camera cleaned I went to put my SD card back in my camera, and I could not find it! I could have sworn my SD card was in my bag that morning and I went straight to Waltham to pick up my camera. Turns out it had fallen out of my camera bag in my driveway (found the next day), but as I was unaware of this for 24 hours I was searching like a maniac. I shared my circumstance with the store and they went to work searching for me and were so helpful in trying to support my search (even taking the time to look at the security footage to see if I dropped it in the store/something happened)! I cannot express my gratitude more. Truly a wonderful shop that was extraordinarily helpful in both their services and support.

Tyler Maillet: Extremely helpful & resourceful.I called the office at around 4 PM requesting to rent a lens last minute for pickup the next day. As expected, the lens I was looking for (300 2.8) was out of stock. After asking what I was shooting, they gave me solid recommendations for other lenses that were in stock.I called them back about 15 minutes later, and decided to rent a 200-400 F4. Despite being a first-time customer renting a lens worth 5x more than my car, the rental process was smooth sailing from there. At 9 AM the next morning, the lens was ready for pickup and my weekend was saved.Without their help - and their recommendations - the shoot would’ve ended up far differently than it did. The lens was perfect for the job, and I know where I’ll be renting from here on out.

James Vafiades: Cambridgeside Galleria Apple Store claimed they found an alert on my phone saying it’s lost or stolen - even though I have the receipt. They refused to perform a repair I need, and instead tried to blame ATT and even made me go all the way to the dorchester Best Buy where I purchased the phone, over an hour away. Neither ATT nor Best Buy had any idea where the alert came from, leading me to the conclusion that all these hours of my day have been wasted due to the Cambridgeside Galleria Apple Store’s incompetence, as well as Apple as a whole’s abject failure to communicate problems and offer reasonable solutions. I am beyond disappointed in this failure to resolve my issue and will surely take my business to another company when I next need a cell phone.

Shawn Duggan: Just dealt with a Matt with online sales. Very positive experience. Purchased a Zoom H8. Got me a great deal. Very easy to work with and knowledgeable. Great customer service.
