I ordered all my wedding prints through CameraMall. The prints turned out perfectly. It was a large order and I was impressed with the timely turnaround. The customer service was wonderful upon pick up. I highly recommend trusting your print and photo needs with CameraMall.
CameraMall is a class act, all around. Let me tell you a quick story. I ordered a lens from them, and because of a communication issue on my end, I received the wrong lens. I opened the box, looked at the lens, recognized it was the wrong lens, closed the box, and returned it to them for them to exchange it for the correct lens. The following week, I am looking at their used stuff on the website and I see that lens! Rather than returning the lens to new stock, they were selling it as open-box at a 10% loss. Big integrity move. My experience is that many retailers do not operate this way. Cant say enough about the great customer service at CameraMall. Order from them with 100% confidence.
I accidentally formatted my sd card after an important shoot, and I brought it here to see if they could recover my images. They were so kind and empathetic and quick to recover my photos. I am forever thankful for this staff! This place gets all my photog business from here on out!
I love this Camera Mall store! The staff is so kind, and helpful. I went to my first couple of presentations, and the photography mixer this weekend. I got to learn, and meet new people. I also feel very lucky to have won a tripod, and a beautiful indigo camera bag. I recommend this location, and visiting events 100%!
After going to a camera shop that just plopped a camera in front of me and saying that is what we need without much explanation, I was determined to understand not only what I needed but why. We drove 45 minutes to one of the only open Sunday camera shops nearby, Camera Mall, and boy it did not disappoint! Jeffrey spent a great deal of time with us explaining different options that suited our needs, using language that a beginner could understand. He gave suggestions without being pushy and was overall incredibly pleasant to work with. We were very pleased to be able to make an informed decision and were thrilled to spend our money with such a great local business.
The Camera Mall is worth the drive to me every time! This place has a fantastic selection of the best gear, and super awesome staff that will help you decide, try, and even rent items youre interested in.They have a great warranty policy on many products, and can look up your info - no receipt needed. They are also very transparent: if something is on sale, they make sure you know.Thank you, Camera Mall! The EF 70-200 L I recently purchased has become my favorite lens of all time.
Looking for your new favorite photography store? Look no further! Seriously, youve found it. I went about a week or two ago to purchase my first camera in 15 years. One of the owners (Desmond) took a generous amount of time patiently explaining everything I needed to know about every product I was considering (camera+accessories). There was zero pressure and zero upselling; in fact, he talked me out of a product or two that I didnt really need! One would be hard-pressed to find business owners and staff friendlier and more genuine than these guys. Truly you come for the photography gear and stay for the human beings behind it all. The knowledge of the crew and the support of a local scene is a huge asset over impersonal online retailers. In the short time I have been aware of this store I have attended 4 of their (free!) classes and a mixer event, all of which were incredible and unique opportunities for everyone from novices to adept photographers. Give them a shot, I guarantee you will not be disappointed, and thanks again to Cameramall for being so awesome!
I was in a bind, leaving on a flight the next day at noon and the lens I had rented wouldnt arrive in time - thank goodness for CameraMall! Easy online inventory and sorting to see I wasnt sunk and the lenses were ready for me to pick up nearly the moment the shop was open the next day.The staff is friendly, energetic and eager to chat with everyone that stops in. This first rental, and the trip ultimately, was a great success and its thanks to them.
I bought my first camera her! I loved the experience, Jeffrey was very helpful and gave good suggestions. I’m very thankful for such good service and my new camera
Jeff was AWESOME!! So patient and so kind. He showed and taught us so much about photography. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Also the store itself was awesome!! - @WanderingBusDude
Extremely helpful and knowledgable staff with a wide range of services. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Very helpful for first-time photographers too.
Great store with great people!I am just starting my journey into the vast world of photography and the people working here have been a valuable asset. Dont know how something works? Ask away! They have the answer and they are happy to educate you on how the product in question works. They also have a rental system where you can test drive things like lenses before you make a large purchase. (I still have yet to try this out, but it is going to happen.)So, if you need anything camera related, please start here. They are local, knowledgeable, and nice!(PS I also bought a tripod from their online store and it arrived in record time, with careful packaging, and was at a great price. So there is always that option if you cant get to the physical location!)
Last month, we found ourselves needing a rush print order. CameraMalls entire staff went above and beyond to help us out. We have always been impressed when purchasing equipment from them, but this experience made us loyal customers. We are so lucky to have such an exceptional business in southeastern Michigan.
Emma was fantastic. She took twenty minutes with me to test old rechargeable batteries in old cameras and tell me which kinds I needed and where to get them. Camera Mall didnt make a dime off of me that day unfortunately but I cant recommend them highly enough. There is nothing like a neighborhood shop run by people who care!
I absolutely love this place! They saved me!! I needed to learn how to use my gimbal and quick! So I called CameraMall and they told me to come right in. I did and Jeff immediately helped me learn how to set up my gimbal in less than 5 mins. I spent hours on YouTube and Jeff showed me everything I needed to know literally in 5 mins. Thank you Jeff and thank you CameraMall! I for sure will be back and I recommend you shop here for all your equipment needs.
This place is great! I follow them on Instagram and they have soo many helpful tips on photography- which is great for beginners like myself. But also some amazing deals and super friendly staff!! Great locally owned business that has nothing but the customer in mind!
I’ve been in twice since hearing of this store, and both times had a great experience. All of the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable; Emma is so helpful and will get you exactly what you’re looking for.Highly recommend!!
Had a great visit here last week. My digital camera skills are lacking and my photos were dull and leaning toward gray. A very knowledgable young man pushed a few buttons and dials and told me I had managed to put it on some setting that was creating the problem. I was out of there in minutes with no charge and a smile. Highly recommend Camera Mall in Ann Arbor.
Two years ago, I was shopping on a budget for a mirrorless camera, and George offered me an awesome deal on a used Fuji X-T2 with a damaged sensor.I just retired that camera this past month, but with it I was able to transition out of a career that I didnt enjoy, and into a dream-job as a full-time photographer!Ive been back many times since and have always gotten great advice and excellent service from everyone at the store, but Ill never forget that first purchase. Thanks to the CameraMall team for literally life-changing customer service!
Bought an Eos R6 + lenses from them today and they were very knowledgeable and patient with me as we figured out what camera was right for me. The owner was super nice and I’ll be buying more lenses from them down the road! Great customer service and a greats store.
Im not local to Camera Mall but was told by a friend they stocked something I was looking for.Turns out this is just a terrific camera shop. They are fast to respond to questions, knowledgeable about their products, and unbelievably quick to implement suggested feedback. The items Ive ordered shipped seemingly minutes after I ordered them, and arrived quickly and well-packed. Im loathe to give away my secret supplier, since theyve now shipped me two items that are in short supply, but these guys deserve your business.Ive shopped at the big box places for a long time, and while sometimes you cant beat the inventory of those stores, you definitely cant beat the service of smaller outfit like this one. If they carry what you need, you should get it here.Even if you arent local, I really recommend this shop!
Always have an amazing experience renting equipment from Camera Mall. Reasonable prices and the staff is knowledgeable, super helpful and friendly! Forever my go-to for my camera equipment needs.Shoutout to Jared who has been helping me for over a year now.
This store is about an hour from my house but I come here because the service is great, they have a good selection of lenses and if there’s an issue with one they’re easy about returns.
Great place. Knowledgeable staff. Stock lots of quality products and can help you find whatever you need.
I received excellent customer service from George! Will definitely be back for all of my camera and film needs.
The young man behind the counter seemed to be informed and friendly
I cannot rave enough about the service at CameraMall. In a world of online retailers and terrible customer service, I feel so grateful to have CameraMall---a shining example of what terrific customer service looks like. I recently went in to buy a speedlight and strobe system (knowing very little about strobes and OCF), and Jared Haas spent almost an hour teaching me the basics of OCF, walking me through different equipment options, helping me come up with the most effective setup for my budget, and even going as far as drawing up a lighting schematic for me on paper! Jareds attentiveness and compassion was so appreciated--I felt like he had my best interests at heart during every step of the buying process. Highly recommend CameraMall, Jared, and all the staff!
For me customer service is everything. My career is 100% customer service. So unfortunately I critique everything. I have been working with George Borel. My experience has been absolutely amazing. I am very fresh into pathography so I had a lot of questions. George answered everything for me in full and did not make me feel like I was being rushed. I appreciate the time and care I was given. I will continue to go here for all of my camera/photography needs. Absolutely top notch!!!
Great camera store. Knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate their expertise and guidance! Look forward to visiting again soon.
Emma and Jared are amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. They took time to listen to what needs my wife and I had and helped us find the right product for us. In the end they helped us find an excellent camera that was better suited for us and they saved us money as well. I chose to buy from this store not only because they were competitively priced but more so because of experience I had with Emma and Jared.
Great customer service and every sales person I encountered had great advice on there products a definitely place to shop for all your photography needs. 👍👍
Fast, friendly service and they had the camera that I wanted in stock.
Camera Mall has been great to work with from being able to rent equipment to their webinars and online education. The staff there are very friendly and great with answering questions across the board. I love going there for my photography needs as well as education.
Extremely knowledgeable staff, and very helpful too! I purchased some film and also got some old film developed. The process was very quick and they answered all of my questions as someone new to film. I have recommended this place to all my friends who are just getting into film photography, too! Excellent!
I am so grateful for CameraMall. The staff are friendly, very knowledgeable, and patient with my myriad of questions. They have a wide array of products and services. Because of CameraMall, I’ve been able to delve into my hobby of film photography, and I was able to rent a really nice digital camera for a special event. I highly recommend them!
Very helpful staff, fair prices!
If you’re looking to purchase camera gear, I recommend for you to seriously consider the Camera Mall in Ann Arbor, Michigan.I was looking to purchase a Tamron 70-200mm DI VC USD G2. While I like to patronize local businesses, especially in light of the past year, I saw a very tempting special online. I called the Camera Mall (who is an official dealer of many photography brands) informing them that I saw the special, where I saw it and asked if there was any way they could meet or partially meet that special because I wanted to patronize them.Although they were very busy at the time, I was informed by the employee that they would look into it and the manager would return my call that day. In no way did they make me feel that I was a bother even though the store was busy. The manager, Emma, returned my call shortly afterwards, thanked me for inquiring and informed me that she could fully honor that particular online special. She was very friendly and expedited my request.Additionally, because I have to continue social distancing she quickly set up my special purchase online providing everything I needed to quickly handle the purchase of my lens and thanked me for calling them to do business with them. They also offered to ship it to me for free, but I wanted to drive down to pick it up myself. They have very easy curbside service.The Camera Mall has a new location which is fantastic. They now have a parking lot, so it’s easy to park and shop without dealing with finding a parking space, walking long distances, or dealing with parking meters. It’s a wonderful big new store so I look forward in the future to going in and looking around.All of the staff were courteous, knowledgeable and expedited all of my requests. They gave me all of the benefits of shopping online without rushing me off the phone. They are knowledgeable AND courteous! I’ve purchased from them in the past and certainly will continue to do so. The Camera Mall definitely has my business, highly recommended! 👍🏽
CameraMall came in clutch for me. I needed a new Fuji camera for a film shoot very last minute.It was Saturday at 4pm. I scoured the entire state for a shop that: 1. Had the Fuji body in stock and 2. Was open Sunday.I called here a minute after close and Emma still answered my call and my questions. I order the body online and they had my order ready the next day before I even walked in the store at 11 on Sunday.The shoot went very smoothly, and that was in large part due to CameraMalls great service. Thank you!
Picked up my camera upgrade today! Jeff was ready when I walked in to help me figure out exactly what I was looking for. Im happy with the service, price, and the selection. Definitely a friendly store - and shopping local is cool, too! I will be back!
Great store! Reminds me of when I sold photography retail. Film and darkroom goodies in stock!
My experiences at and with CameraMall have been absolutely wonderful. I went into the store while on a trip to Michigan. I only went in to grab a few small items and ended up spending about an hour in the store. The staff was so helpful, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the items I was looking for. I ended up having them ship me something back to my home and was so pleasantly surprised when it arrived at my doorstep safe and sound. They truly care about their products and their customers. I will definitley be back! I recommended them to everyone!
I don’t often write reviews but I recently purchased a camera from Camera Mall and I felt that my experience couldn’t go by unnoticed. I worked with a woman named Devon and the level of customer service that I received was unmatched. I was blown away by her level of product knowledge on such a large variety of cameras, lenses, etc. She went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I was looking for and I walked away loving my purchase. I will definitely be coming back for all of my future camera needs.
Nice new looking store. Very helpful staff.
They were so helpful in helping me purchase a new lens for my husband camera. The Camera Mall is a Clean store.
Amazing customer service. I couldnt be happier with my experience with the Camera Mall. I am so appreciative of the updates on my preorder/ backordered items. Thank you.
Great local camera shop in Ann Arbor. The staff are helpful and friendly. Even though its easy to order next to anything online, its great to be able to support a local business. The store hosts photography lessons, speakers and other events. Parking is difficult to find, but its worth it.
Went in wanting a new camera for food photography but I had no idea where to start. They were so knowledgeable and their customer service was top notch. I will definitely be back.
Great ans Helpful People.
Experienced, friendly people who care about the subject matter at hand. Also nice to support your local shops.
This shop is a 10/10 recommendation from me. Wether buying new or used gear Ive never been sold anything by the staff. They take their time to explain things and let you test out the gear so you can decide for yourself. One of the employees named Jared has gone so far above and beyond helping me with an issue that ended up being my fault. The only thing that could make camera mall better is if they had a coffee shop built on. The team at camera mall are top tier.
I am a photography novice at best. I went into Camera Mall knowing that I wanted a new camera, probably mirrorless, most likely Canon. George spent a lot of time walking me through a variety of options and choices and ultimately talked me into buying a LESS expensive model. I really appreciated the help and attention and love the new camera!
Camera Mall now carries Canon! They carry a wide assortment of camera gear, cameras, and lenses, from many names. However I was raised on Canon, and it has been wonderful to add specific Canon lenses and gear to my collection. Everyone who works there is especially helpful, whether you are starting out or youve years of experience. Theyre happy to show you all the possibilities for what you have in mind, and they will give you the pros and cons of each. Being able to lease a lens before you buy it has also been helpful, and its shown me that there are a lot of great options out there. They have something for whatever your budget may be, and they have the knowledge to answer any questions you bring their way.
I received really great service. I felt very safe in the store the way they had it set up for the virus.
Very knowledgeable staff
Best customer service. Have had very positive experiences here. I prefer to buy from them over any other option. The staff at Camera Mall is very knowledgeable and concerned with making sure you get the best possible fit. Two thumbs up!
I couldnt have asked for a better experience after visiting CameraMall this past weekend. From the phone call I made to inquire about the availability and price of the camera I was interested in, through checkout at the store, I was provided 100% professional and courteous support.Pricing was exceptionally affordable and I plan on taking advantage of the intro class offered at the store. Before you order a camera online, stop in and visit the folks at CameraMall - they will take GREAT care of you!
Staff is always super helpful. Used prices are competitive. Its like a modestly sized BHPhoto, but in AA.
Great place. Jeff, George, and Emma are extremely helpful and know their stuff.
Im SO happy I happened upon this place! I stopped in just to look around and try a couple things Im planning to buy later on, and I found a deal that I couldnt possibly pass up on a Nikon 80-200 2.8! The store associate was very friendly and helpful, and I cant wait to come back for more equipment later on!
Friendly staff, very helpful, knowledgeable in a wide variety of cameras, and helpful. Definitely will be going back there when in the area again.
All of the staff at CameraMall are phenomenal. They are knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Convenient location in Ann Arbor and it feels good to support a local camera store. Ive had more than a dozen interactions with CameraMall employees and theyve been 100% positive.
Excellent staff, very knowledgeable, was able to help me with questions and didnt try to sell me things I didnt need.Will be returning!
The people here are very knowledgeable and more importantly, readily share that knowledge in a non-condescending and helpful, easy going manner to make non- cognoscenti camera buffs comfortable. These are expensive purchases and their manner places all levels of clients at ease. They were terrific with my daughter, a first time SLR CAMERA buyer who is taking her gear to another continent without the ready access to services we have in the USA. BRAVO!
My go to spot for all my photography and videography needs. Really great group of fun knowledgeable people there to help you out. Trying to find people that still do 35mm developing is a challenge, and these guys do a great job.
This is my camera shop! The staff are excellent with their customer service and you can tell they all genuinely love photography. Desmond sold me a great wildlife photography lens and was excited to see my results when I came back in.The ranges of styles and selection of cameras is excellent, especially considering the physical size of the store.I cant over sell this place! Best camera shop for miles and so much better than shopping online!
This place is awesome! I rented the sigma 35mm and a long range Tamron lens and loved it. I would definitely recommend getting gear from here. Some stuff is overpriced but they are very helpful and you can get items same day.
We walked in just to see the new place, and were surprised!The smartest thing they do, aside from having what appears to be wonderful service, is pricing everything according to best buy and amazon, so you dont need to argue for a price match or to shop online.Itll be wonderful to get our next camera there, knowing we got it in a great price, but more importantly - that theres someone to talk to if anything goes wrong.Another great surprise is that they have many activities for photographers in all levels, held by top of the line photographers.This is how modern business should be like -competitive pricing, great service and knowledge to share.Good luck, its fun having you in the neighborhood!
Nice shop with decent prices. I like their used vintage stuff. Nice folks.
Probably not going to go back. Paid for an SD card I could have got on amazon for half the cost. They do however have a good selection of filters.Update: You can find the same card on the manufacturers website for the same price as listed on amazon.
This has become my favorite camera shop in the state. The customer service is always top notch. I enjoy the store events, workshops and demos. George always has a great selection of used cameras and gear. I highly recommend !
Nice little store. People are friendly and they have a lot of gear at decent prices. Only 2 small issues. 1 its a pain to find a place to park to get in there and difficult to see as your driving by. And 2 the name mall is a very far stretch. Its a little corner shop. But they off specials and photography walks which is pretty cool. Also store was clean.
The CameraMall is fantastic. I happened to wander in when they first opened, entirely by accident, and left with a special order for some obscure camera batteries I needed but couldnt find for months. Each team member Ive met has been very helpful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about their products, and they do a great job with community outreach. If youre looking for a camera store or camera resources, this is the place to go.
I cant say enough about how much I enjoy every time I get the chance to shop at this store. The personal care you receive is second to none. If you are an amateur like me and have a lot of questions about a purchase you are considering, this is the best place to come. The staff is so helpful. They explain without judgment and take time with you . If you are a professional they have all your needs as well. Personally I cant thank Desmond enough for your above and beyond help .
Camera mall is a wonderful shop and have great people working for them. If youre in the market for a camera or wanted to trade or sell your old equipment give them a try you wont be disappointed.
Ordered from these guys on line. Absolutely great customer service. They even helped me with an issue on a piece of gear that I did not buy from them. Highly recommended. If you live in Ann Arbor, you are fortunate to have them nearby.
I cant stress enough how considerate and helpful the staff has been to me. Film SLR cameras are old pieces of technology and Camera Mall has been incredibly accommodating in getting me set up with one that is in great working order. The staff is super friendly, professional, and doesnt seem to get tired of seeing my face in there all the time.
Always such, such amazing service. Being a professional photographer, its hard to find a place that will satisfy you with timeliness and reliability, but this place has it everything you could need. Even if a lens is more expensive here than on amazon or B&H, you get great service and can expect to have a solid backup plan in case your gear fails someday.
A small camera shop with a big local impact. Extensive sigma glass inventory, used camera options, and a respectable film stock. If youre in Ann Arbor and have photographic needs, they are likely to meet them.
Ann Arbor was great before - Now A2 is AWESOME.What a pleasure to have a great local camera shop here!All your staff are amazing and do a great job to accommodate us, your client.I am happy with your lab work, you did a great job for me.Mg
I live in southern Ohio but found myself in Ann Arbor so I stopped in at the CameraMall. I was really having a hard time deciding between two cameras but the staff there really took their time and talked me through it. At the time I was not quite ready to make the purchase but I was so impressed with everyone there that when I was back in Ohio and was ready they got my business. There are a lot of places you can buy a camera but why not buy one from people who provide top notch service and great prices!!
Im glad this place is around. Worth the hour it takes to get there for me. Extraordinary staff, very helpful and awesome selection.
I could not be happier with this business. I would give them 10 stars if I could. The staff is SO friendly and knowledgeable. I called them in a panic because we just returned home from vacation and somehow, our memory card had been wiped clean They were able to recover all of our photos and only charged me $40. It was going to cost at least $250 at Best Buy. I then asked them if they could recover videos from an old video camera card we had accidentally deleted - well, sure enough we get a call three days later that they had done it again! They were able to recover our video files. I mostly worked with/talked to Desmond, and he has been AWESOME. Thus store has earned my business for life. Its obvious they really care about their customers. I am definitely going to Camera Mall for all of my camera needs, and you should too!!!!
Had an accident with my go-to top lens, Canon 24-70 f2.8. Had to replace it fast, so I made my first visit there and was happy to find that they were selling the new version of my favorite lens for the same price as Amazon. One of the staff there was kind enough to package up my damaged lens so I could send it off to Canon to be repaired. You cant get that from Amazon.
Knowledgeable, great selection and quick checkout! They sold me their display model when I was in a time crunch.
The customer service was great they were very helpful and willing to open and test any product I even asked about. And they were also knowledgeable when comparing two products that were similar. I will be back again and again!
Walked in expecting a snooty boutique and ended up being so pleased with the service. The sales lady I met was helpful and funny. She helped me make a purchasing decision easier. TCamera Mall seems to be the sort of store you can walk into and get the help you need, not a sales pitch
If you’re looking for a truly community and caring experience come to camera mall. You get pro level brands and a personalized sales experience.
Nice camera shop ran by people who care about you not just trying to make a sale. Highly recommended
Stopped in today to browse their film selection and buy a few rolls. Great selection of the Ilford line, and talked with them about getting more slide film in, which they will be. Very friendly and helpful customer service. They will also soon be offering colour film processing, which will fill a void in the area.
Bought a new lens. George was at the store. Gave me a few tips on how to get the best out of the lens. The store had a sale going on. So got a 200$ off on the lens as well.
Great customer service, fantastic selection. Very nice people. The is the Ann Arbor store, not to be confused with other stores with similar names.
One stop shop for a photographer. Technically sound and helpful staff. some of the items are pricey may be, but for the service they provide it compensates it. Nice ambience in the shop.
I have had nothing but excellent service when visiting Camera Mall, and it has quickly become my favorite place to get hands-on time with equipment that Im interested in, learn from experienced photographers, and purchase new (or new to me) gear. Ive interacted with each of the staff members here and theyre all incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and patient. While Ive never had a problem with equipment that Ive bought there, I feel confident that they would take very good care of me of I did.On top of that, the photography events they facilitate are fantastic. Its great that they can bring those kinds of opportunities to Ann Arbor and give the community easy access to the pros.I couldnt possibly speak more highly of Camera Mall. Especially I n an age where prices are identical online and in stores, theres just no reason to shop anywhere else.
Im very grateful this place exists. Having been in the industry for 13 years, I have seen some come and go. Camera Mall, I wish you the best, but I have to tell you and the public why I did not offer 5 stars. George seems like a lovely man, but now this is the 5th time, I have called and asked a few questions, and receive a one answer no we dont do that, not a but heres someone we recommend, nothing like a follow up to you can try this... His cavalier attitude, and I know all is somewhat surprising. I have seen his interactions with others and sometimes its great and he offers up counter-advice. But if your not in the popular group with him...you get nothing. Now before you go saying Its just this women, I brought a co-worker in and I was asking about a repair, and even she said Well can you offer advice on what to do.....This is a community, not competition. Unless I am clueless on all that...who knows.
Place is awesome! They have the widest selection of cameras and gear Ive ever seen in one place!
Staff is very friendly, great selection of products. Would recommend!
Great place. Really nice people. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Good for anyone from beginner to pro.
Helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff, good selection as well
Very informative and helpful at camera mall, easy to get to, being located in Ann Arbor. Was able to find what I was looking for!
