Tue Feb 16 2010I was just blown away at how easy it was to order, i felt safe ordering, the product arrived in excellent timing. I don't think I could've asked for better service & gotten too. I would love to do business with this company for everything.

Sun Jan 31 2010This is my first purchase, but I could not belive that I received the best customer service and the lowest price for the camcorder. No sales pressure from the salesman. I will shop here again in the future.

Sat Jan 30 2010I ordered the new sony HD camcorder from 42nd St Photo. The order was correct and arrived on time. I haven't had a chance to use it too much but it is easy to use. The sales-rep I dealt with at 42nd st was also very helpful. He answered all of my questions and gave me good advice. I will buy from them again. Dale

Fri Jan 29 2010Purchased HD Video Camera for a great price, when I called to confirm certain information, the guy on the phone asked if I wanted to get a good deal on an extra battery. Well it sounded like a great deal. After getting my package i noticed that the extra battery was not the same name as the camera. I checked online to find the same battery for half the price!! I called then to see about returning the battery and getting a refund. That could be done, but I would be charged $25 for restocking the battery. This is not what I would call a good customer service. Especially after they were the ones that told me I was getting such a great deal! Camera is great, delivery was fast. Just don't except what they say on the phone, research first, then if the price is good the rest is too.

Thu Jan 28 2010I ordered the item using PayPal and chose free shipping. The Sony A500 camera was shipped within two days and the UPS tracking number was promptly e-mailed to me. The package arrived on time and the camera box was very nicely packed! Will buy from them again for sure!

Thu Jan 28 2010shopped online looking for the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ35. Local camera store in town couldn't touch the price 42nd st. photo had and told me to be skeptical that i might be buying just the camera with no other parts. totally untrue. 42st Photo had a great price for a complete camera with strap, lense, battery et al. No high pressure sales. I received the usual call after my order was placed to see if i needed an extra battery or memory card. i politely told the person no and the camera was shipped out that day. Received the camera about 4 days later through the free shipping option even though i was told it might take 7-10 days. Buying process was simple. i love this camera and would highly recommend it for those looking for an advanced point and shoot rather than spending a ton of cash on a DSLR.

Tue Jan 26 2010So before going on my vacation on the 5th of Jan i decided i wanted to buy a Canon rebel Xsi, so i call up the store, speak to a guy and get a price on the camera, the guy on the phone says it will be $540. I ask do you guys have it in stock, he says yes i do. So i go to the store ask about the camera, the guys pulls open the 42 street photo website and starts showing me stuff on that, and i tell him can u show me some covers, he show's them to me on the website. i asked can i just pay and take the camera. and see some actual covers. Hes like no you have to order thru the website if you want that price. So i said if i wanted to buy it online i could have done it from my home. And the guy says if u want to buy it here the price will be $600 if you pay cash and $630 if you pay credit. and it wil take them about 30 minutes to get the camera out. So i told them why did u tell me $540 price before i came in. He goes like thats the corporate not the store, i said i specially chose the opt... Read more

Mon Dec 07 2009This is my third buying experience with 42nd St Photo and yet again it was flawless. I am from Germany, so buying in US can be bothersome sometimes because of credit card issues etc... Luckily I can use a US address for my stuff to be shipped to... This time I bought a Canon EOS 5D Mark II body. Got it for A good price and the item was shipped free exactly on the day i wanted it... What can I say? The third was not the last, for sure!

Wed Dec 02 2009They had the best price for the camcorder I was looking for. After I ordered online, they called me to confirm my order and inquire about accessories I might need. On top of that, shipping was fast and free. This was my first order from 42nd Street Photo and I am very happy I chose them. I will definitely order from them for other electronics I might need.

Tue Dec 01 2009Okay...I'm a professional photographer in Atlanta, GA. I desperately needed to get a new Canon 7D camera body for a good price and quickly. Due to the holiday season, and this Canon 7D being a brand new release, many stores were sold out of the camera body. So...called 42nd Street Photo, spoke to Robert (really professional, very accommodating sales rep), told him of my situation, and within 5 minutes, Robert promised me they had the camera body in stock, and that I would receive it in 2 days. Well...here's the incredible part...I received the camera today (2 days from order date) but, apparently the New York store actually was out of the Canon 7D camera body. So, to keep their promise, and get the camera to me as they said they would, they broke open a Canon 7D Kit, which includes a lens which I did not want (or need), removed the lens and sent me just the camera body. Nobody does this! This was unbelievable! Doing this during the holiday season, when they could sell the camera kit f... Read more

Tue Oct 27 2009Elliot was very professional in knowing exactly what I needed when I asked for his feedback on my camera. He knew where to look for when I asked for a replacement item for my camera. He found the item in stock and procesed my sale items. I told Elliot that I had a problem with a rechargable battery that I purchased with my camera. He sent a replacement with my order, all I was asked to do was to send back to him the old battery. Nothing but excellent service, that is why I am a long time customer of 42nd Street Photo ! Thanks, Elliot

Sat Jun 27 2009Doing business from Maui to New York can be risky in more ways than one, but 42nd St. Photo worked with me over the phone to make sure I was getting camera equipment that was compatible and user-friendly for the planned purpose I was buying the camera. Elliot went above and beyond to make sure my order was complete and sent in a timely fashion. Extremely professional, which made me feel confident I chose the right people to do business with. As we say in Hawaii, Aloha and Mahalo.

Sun Apr 12 2009I needed a part for the flash on my camera, a Kodak Easy Share, and though Kodak took a long time (4 weeks to ship the part), the folks at 42nd Street Photo provided me with a "loaner" camera so I was still able to take pictures on my vacation. They were very kind, professional and helpful. I would recommend them highly.

Tue Apr 07 2009By recommendation of a good friend, I visited the 42nd Street Photo store while on a business trip. My hotel was across town so it was quite the trek, but it was worth it. Unfortunately, when I got there, I realized I had forgotten my credit card in my room. Still, having known I wasn't buying right then and there, the staff was very helpful in helping me find the digital camera that was right for me. I simply told them the basics I wanted, they asked a few questions, and within minutes I was testing out a SONY Alpha a200k, I knew it was the one I wanted. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with a point-and-shoot or a DSLR but the Alpha fit my needs well and was surprisingly affordable.The staff was also able to answer questions I had about photo editing software. I left feeling good about going back the next day and making a commitment to the Alpha, but I couldn't make it and had to return home that evening. That's when I visited their website. I found the model on the site, p... Read more

Wed Apr 01 2009Every time I go to NYC to visit my family, I stop in at 42 photo. They are great, I have purchased many times from them. Even when I've had trouble with products and it had nothing to do with them, they helped me out more than they needed to. I will continue to shop there. I think the people leaving bad reviews are on something!

Mon Jul 14 2008I've purchased Sony HDR-SR12 from 42nd photo. The camcorder is excellent! I've already made lots of video and I'm absolutely satisfied with it's quality. I recommend this reseller and in case you have any questions or problems, just drop a letter to info at 42photo dot com or sales at 42photo dot com and they will help you in highly professional manner.

Sun Jun 08 2008Awesome service, order processing, and shipping. I wanted to let everyone know that when you want to save big bucks and receive extrememely great service shop with 42nd street photo. When i called the toll free number i didnt have to wait twenty minutes to get a real person on the phone. It took a total of seven minutes to give them my information and for them to give me my order number and tracking number. We went over all the items that i was purchasing and we were done. My order was shipped the day it was placed, I received a tracking number that night, and a delivery confirmation via e-mail when it arrived. From price, to service, these guys get two thumbs up. Tom
