I bought a nice Sony Camera from 42nd St Photo. They were nice enough to call me and let me know I bought the European version and saved me the hassle of having to return the camera for the correct one. They have called me a few times to check on my satisfaction. I will buy again.

Wow! This is truly an amazing team.
March 2, 2021

I ordered a cable for my DSLR and the Sennheiser MKE200. Order arrived in about a couple of days. Unfortunately, the cable shipped was the wrong one. Customer service was very quick, within a couple hours, in resolving my issue. They checked with their audio rep for stock, but it was no longer available. I was issued a refund for the cable. The microphone is working like a dream. Overall my experience was very engaging.

The website is well laid out, with a wide range of products in every category. Delivery was made within a few days of purchase and my Sony HXR-NX200 Camera was exactly as described. The multiple emails and phone messages informing me of the package delivery status were beyond most typical Online Stores. Overall, I had a very satisfying experience and I will be purchasing from 42nd street photo again.

New 83 zoom camera
November 9, 2018

Love this new camera, so easy to use. I like to take pictures of the wild life in our backyard. Usually the animals are so far away from the house, that I needed a longer easy to use camera to get photo. Also brought a lens that helps take photos thru the window.

Canon EOS 1DX Mark iii
January 17, 2023

Thank you for the extremely prompt delivery of the canon camera especially during the Christmas period. Excellent Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens as indeed I had bought the same type of telephoto glass a couple of years ago and needed back up for this camera.
Finally many thanks for the chocolate pennies which I had found at the bottom of the box with the delivery note!
Absolutely superb service with a personal touch. Wrapped in tons of packaging (which is appreciated-camera and lens are delicate) and all in excellent condition. I will definitely use 42PHOTO again.

I have bought a line of different products from 42photo and have gotten a good experience through Amazon and great competitive price with quick and excellent service. Most shops would always try to sell you other products with your purchase or other extended warranties at a hard sell. 42photo just takes your order and delivers fast.

I purchased a camera and a high speed data storage card. I placed the order by phone and discussed several options. Sales person was knowledgeable and made the recommendation on the product that I accepted. I was given a case for the camera as part of their promotion. I used a credit card for payment, no problems. The camera and data card arrived and was exactly what I had ordered. I use the camera often and am happy with the purchase. In addition I have used 42nd Street for other orders and have had no problems. I would consider using 42nd Street Photo again when I need a product carried in their inventory.

This is the first time I have bought from 42Photo, but certainly won't be the last. Not only was the price cheapest in the segment plus Free Delivery (Amazon were charging $30more...) and communication throughout was top drawer-I was kept informed what stage the order was at. FedEx and DHL are the right combination for quality delivery so good choice made by 42Photo. Ordered Monday and the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens arrived within 3 days. Really happy customer thank you

Outstanding Seller
September 20, 2018

I purchased a Canon EOS 7D Mark II over a year ago from them and the only comment I have for them is Excellent customer service. They made my purchase experience so easy and smooth. I placed the order on 11/08/2016 and received it within days after the order was placed and the package was well sealed and protected from shipping damages. I was very surprised and pleased with their quick turn around time on shipping the merchandise to me.

Great Job, I would continue to shop with them for my audio video needs.

The Nikon zf is such a great camera very impressed! 42PHOTO has such great guys to deal with their company, they also schedule conveniently if you're out of town! Which is very impressive very understanding professionals!

Thank you so much guys for such a great offer and all the help that you provided! Would recommend this store to anyone starting out in mirrorless photography as a hobby and do not want to break the bank in a rising inflation!

I purchased a Nikon 800 E from 42nd Street Photo. For Christmas my son wanted a Canon T3i. It was a great deal. So when it came time to get a upgrade for me, I went back to 42nd Street. Their sales rep Robert took care of everything. Great after sales follow up.

Remained on backorder for two months, Kate emailed me on 29th January alerting me there were enough units released by the manufacturer. It was on my door step by 31st January. However, DHL driver abandoned the package without ringing the bell. I'm lucky my eye caught the delivery track as it vanished into the neighborhood before rain or someone took it!

Canon 7D
February 26, 2018

I found the best price at 42nd Street Photo. I was contacted about the risk of buying a Grey market camera. I chose to spend a little more to get a US market camera. No regrets. The camera was received in perfect condition. 42nd Street Photo met all my expectations.

Canon EF 24-70mm F/2.8
February 12, 2021

My recent order of Canons EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens was processed very promptly by 42nd Photo. A great and versatile lens that takes beautiful images. This lens is great for all types of photography - portraits, stills, product, travel and more. I would highly recommend 42nd Photo for this type of a lens as a first pro supplier for anyone with a camera compatible with Canon's EF lenses. This relatively fast (f/2.8) zoom lens is of excellent build quality, provides for very sharp images, and is of ideal focal length range for everyday use for various applications. That aside the build quality and optics of this lens are top shelf.

I had a great experience ordering my Canon lens from 42nd Street photo. The lens was perfect. I originally ordered the wrong lens and they called me up to tell me that and they fixed my order. Great customer service.

First-class service. I bought a 70-300mm XF lens over the phone Saturday morning, Jonathan H. Had it packed and ready for immediate pick up and had it delivered to St. Louis. I received it the next day. I live in Missouri but I buy all my camera equipment from 42Photo. The knowledge and friendship of Jonathan cannot be beaten!

I ordered a Nikon Coolpix P900 and was informed all along the way when I should expect it's delivery. I even got a call letting me know it did not come with memory and they gave me a great deal on a high end card. Received it quickly and no problems.
Best price I could find.
