The guys here are way nicer than B&H photo, they're super helpful even if they don't have a particular item. Prices are kind of hard to beat and the store is not too difficult to get to.

Miguel de Leon

The ticketing system is a little absurd but efficient in its own way. If you need film , they have a great selection; just know what you're going to get before you queue up.

Jimmy Zhu

One of the best places to buy a high-end DSLR camera , but they certainly are not hiring the most fuzzy, warm sales reps here!

Michael Discenza

Easier to navigate than B&H and seems like more personal service. I go there for all of my photo needs!

Cesar Goodwin

Great price and good service . Bought a Sony a6000 camera from them. Best price I could find, quick delivery and good customer service. I will be using Adorama again.

D. G.

Great place, employees are not that great but they are knowledgeable and they are trying their best to help you out :-)

Tariq Ahmad

Great place for camera and tech gear. The store follows a Jewish calendar/schedule, so they close at 2p on Friday and closed all day Saturday.

Once you have done business with the Adorama, you learn quickly that they are reliable & trustworthy. They put the customer first. Adorama should be on your to do list when in New York.

Ryan Watson

One of the best camera stores in the city plus all sorts of other gadgets. Great service too and knowledgable staff .

Andrew S

Great selection and more intimate than B&H. They also have great classes .

Ben K.

If a sales person offers you a discount or free item during your bargaining, make sure they actually take it off at the register. They're extremely shady this way.

Philip Robertson

If you're picking up rental equipment and have a vehicle with you, call Adorama and ask for curbside pickup/drop-off to avoid parking tickets. They'll bring equipment downstairs & load your vehicle.

Devonta

Everything you could possibly imagine for your photography needs . With a super friendly team of staff .

Kayleigh Harrington

You can rent photo equipment from Adorama - not bad if you want to test out higher end cameras before pulling the trigger on a purchase.

Jeff Petriello

Don't waste time: get a service ticket when you walk in from a salesperson near the lil touch screen thing.

Ian McKenzie

Adorama is very fair on pricing and always helpful. Thanks.

Meg Cheng

The atmosphere is very welcoming, the help is always on point. They definitely know what they're talking about. Look for Avi, he's great!

Tatiana Brenizer

The check-in gift is a tote bag or a hat. What self-respecting Brooklyn photographer would sport an Adorama cap? Me.

Bry B

I recently purchased a new Asus Laptop from Adorama. The unit arrived in a defective state and would not work. Adorama will not exchange the unit. I discourage anyone from using Adorama for computers.

David Lopez

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff . Want ti trade in used camer/camcorders ask fir Sam in the used dept. He is on point.

mystady.com (A-C)

I just got an an SB-800 diffusion dome for only $4.00! I can't event find them that cheap online. Out pays to shop around. PUN INTENDED.

The Corcoran Group

Conveniently located camera super-store that has everything you could want. However, the staff and customer service leave something to be desired.

Kristin Booker

Ask for William, the nicest, most helpful salesperson in the Universe .

Adi Shniderman

One of NYC’s long time photo establishment. Now a mega store for everything????????????????????????????

These guys can do know wrong. Amazing service friendly and they really know their stuff

S. Grande Jr

Ive been shopping here for years but the last few they have been renovating over all it has gotten better until this most recent trip. Don't count on that $5 gift card have to go in circles for it

James

Great service and a surprisingly big store.

Sara ????⚔????

Huge selection and knowledgeable staff , but not the nicest or fastest service.

Billy Moore

The service was quick and efficient. Very pleased with the service

Nina Stoddard

support local businesses! great service and competitive prices. a camera aficionado's dream.

Mindy

Place your order online and pick up in store at the customer service counter!

Eduardo Santana

Having a pro services account has made all the difference. Ray Garcia has never let us down.

Netsirk

Good deals for great printing services.

Susie Steiner

Check in for a $5 gift card ... Two people check in, you get one card each. :-)

Anna Hajdu

incredibly helpful staff for NYC standards :)

Ricardo Sandy

Make sure to call before you waste your time going, their website does not accurately reflect product availability!

Bas Clark

Great place to pick up prints . If you send them a pic it will come out the same way it is on screen. TERRIBLE customer service on the camera side though.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Looking for binoculars . Not a great selection at the high end .

Julia Kwan

Usually no to very short line for customer service returns/exchanges around 12!

Elaine chan

HORRID customer service- incompetent/misinformed employees & management. All of whom do not know their own policies & do nothing to help. Be prepared to fight if something goes wrong w. your purchase.

Kate Hailey

Suggest placing an order online if you know what you're seeking. Not all products are readily available to put your hands on. :/

Robert Accettura

Photo printing service pickup is all the way in the back.

Lori Luo

Get a ticket to speak with a representative.

Chris Gampat

Imagine B&H but scaled down. And more space.

jon accarrino

Walk in and grab a number. The sales team helps you shop.

Robert Zyzynski

Great place for bait and switch

Lala Lopez

The special upon your first check in is a 5$ gift card to be redeemable during any purchase. Perfect.

Nabeel

Order pics online and pick up at store for free = convenient

Laura Ryan

thanks for the $5 gift card :) I ended up buying the 70-200mm mug i have been wanting for a long time :)

Elyssa Respaut

Go to BH, Calumet or Fotocare before I ever come here again. Customer service can't help you in store unless you speak to the shipping dep before hand about an order that had shipped & want to return
