Well packaged, prompt delivery of a superb canera-FujiXT4. I'm not sure how competitively priced it was as 42PHOTO-was the only place I could find one just at that time, but the price seemed about right. All good from 42PHOTO-I thought.

Bought my Canon DLSR and lenses, a Nikon lens for my daughter-in-law. Great prices, superior service and follow up. Best place that I've found to shop for new photo gear on line.

Great camera and great speedy service from 42Nd street photo. Love being able to go automatically from lcd screen to viewfinder and that a lens cap is not necessary.

I was looking for a mid-range Canon zoom lens and found the best combination of price and service at 42nd St. Photo. We have used the lens for 9 months and have been very pleased.

Scam business
May 12, 2018

Scam company that uses bait and switch tactics. I ordered a Canon 5D Mark III in new condition on their site. As with many other stories told, I received a call from a sales person a few days after, informing me that I had ordered an international version and would want to upgrade it to the US version for several hundred dollars more.

I told him I was in the middle of something and did not feel comfortable making an uninformed decision over the phone. He started getting agitated and questioning my reasoning and ultimately pressured me into making the switch on the spot.

Sure enough, I was sent a used camera with no original packaging, user manuals, etc. A quick check of the settings shows they still sent me an international version. So ultimately, I paid several hundred more for a used version of what I originally ordered in New condition. Overall, I paid more at 42nd street for a used camera, than I would have if I bought brand new with a certified dealer. DONT FALL FOR IT.

Do a quick search on 42nd Streets scam tactics and you will see dozens of stories that match mine.

It is my first DSLR camera. This is a pretty good camera for the money.
Pros: Clear pictures with ability to shoot in jpeg or RAW
Able to sync to a smart phone for remote shooting, so that the photographer can be included in the picture with famliy
Canon support, able to use either Canon's EF-S or EF lens'
Cons: No flip screen for live view vlogging. WiFi app does not allow for video use only for camera. Not weather resistant, this is not a sealed body and temperature range limits ability to take outdoor photos in weather below 32F.
