Best Camera Shops In Minneapolis Near Me

Conor Daly: The folks over at National Camera in my experience have been very helpful and supportive as I learn more about 35mm photography. I was attempting to restore my parents’ old Pentax ME Super and after determining it wasn’t salvageable, they helped me find an identical body and got me set up with my first couple rolls of film. When I was having film loading issues, they guided me through what I was doing wrong and how to avoid issues in the future. Can’t thank them enough, very knowledgeable and patient staff. Will return to them in the future.

Sue Henderson: Great, knowledgeable staff!

Jerry Trowbridge: I bought a lens then had to return it due to not fitting my needs. Had great customer service from the beginning of the purchase to my returning it.Received a call and e-mail that it was received at the store and credit would be issued .Great job Julie ! Any future camera needs I will be sure to shop there again.Thanks

Sharon Tang: in just two days!!!! I can only believe that they paid for overnight or 2 day shipping and didn’t charge me for it. So good!!!

Courtney Kerns: I greatly appreciate having a physical store with friendly and knowledgeable staff! I drive all the way down there from northern Minnesota. I’ve made purchases and also had my camera sensor cleaned. I’m also grateful to have a place that will take trade-ins so I don’t have to deal with trying to sell each piece of gear individually. Thanks NCE folks for taking care of me!

Denver Lancaster: Good vibes from staff. No idea what I'm doing with a camera. These folks were helpful and kind!

Lydia Bu: Taylor did a great job answering all my questions and helping me find the equipment that is perfect for my needs!

Peter Tunison: Always the best service, people there care!

recnepsleiht: was super friendly and knowledgeable, and helped me and my wife upgrade our cameras after I damaged mine. He was very patient, and spent probably an hour answering all of our questions and letting us look at and handle all the different gear he showed us. Also, the store had a really nice selection of bodies, lenses and accessories. Sorry our bored four year old terrorized your store, but thank you for your help! Would definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

Geoff Maciejewski: West Photo is one remaining gem in the Twin Cities. They sell quality products to fit every budget. The employees are knowledgable and never pressure you into buying. It can be tempting to buy or rent from large scale online retailers but West Photo will give you competitive pricing.I had an enjoyable time recently trading up into the mirrorless category. Kyle and Caleb, thank you for your hard work!

Nick Stern: Cameron was super helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I promised him I'd be back in today but got sick and didn't make it. This store is a gem

Keelie Ritter: The people at West Photo have always been so helpful and kind with any photo need that I've had arise. I've been in a bind on more than one occasion where I needed to rent gear last minute, or just needed other assistance and they always come through. I can't recommend them enough!

Julien Grove: I came here knowing pretty much nothing about cameras, and they set me up with exactly what I needed, within my price range. Can't wait to go back and get some new lenses!

Leon Ross: 5/5 - the team is great and they have everything you‘ll need. the studio location looks perfect aswell. highyl recommended!

Steve Garbe: You don't have to be a major production company to get exceptional service from the team at Cinequipt. I routinely tell Chris or Mitch in rentals what my current challenge is, and they present solutions that fit my budget and crew size. In 20 years I have never had an issue with rented equipment, a missing piece or something not being available when they said it would be. If I have a last-minute request, everyone in the building jumps in to find a solution. Mitch in service is also routinely amazing. Once I brought him a light with a broken power switch where the routine repair was to replace the entire board for hundreds of dollars. Mitch had already sourced just the power switch from the original switch manufacturer, and soldered in on in 24 hours, for $50. When I visit other cities, it's hard to understand how they survive without a place like Cinequipt.

Hannah Jamille Andersen: This is our home store for my studios equipment. Always happy with the service and help getting the accurate equipment for our space that's tough to work with.

Judith Ann Warren: Amazing creative space!

tymesen: Chris and Dan were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and very courteous. Much appreciated in a day of low quality customer service.

Teransc Phillip -360 Travel: Great staff! Really great to work with.

Jason V: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. And truly the biggest amount and variety of rental gear I've seen in the Midwest hands down. If you have any needs or question with pro video this is your spot! Also they have some of the best Covid protocols I have seen!

Tristan Corrigan: Awesome rental shop with an amazing staff and great selection!!

Elizabeth Saravo: Cinequipt is hands down the premiere photo & film rental house in Minneapolis! Staff is knowledgable, friendly and great to work with. The experience feels personal and their prices are tough to beat. Love this place!

Michael Szczepanski: Stocked with great equipment you can't find at the other camera shops in town. Impressed with the friendliness of the staff; received a lot of great advice from Chris who helped me up my lighting skills.

Kasey Dormanen: . Would definitely take again later down the road.

Joel Stegner: Good exhibits.

Sandy Austin: I took a class called from camera to print. In seven weeks I learned a ton of stuff and learned how to effectively use my camera and was able to print some photos out of Lightroom. Jeff is a fantastic instructor I would totally recommend any class from MPLS Photo Center. This is the second class that I have taken.

Julie Henthorne: Amazing place with wonderful people.

Grace Owen: I would highly recommend to anyone with photo printing needs. Great people and service 👌

Megan Smith: I highly recommend this facility! The people are great, overall amazing experience.
