First time using 42nd street photo and I am extremely pleased with the whole experience. It was easy to navigate the website and therefore made it easier for me to locate and compare different cameras. Their customer service was excellent as they were quick in responding while at the same time giving me valid information about my query. The camera was in immaculate condition and meets my expectations accordingly. I have no doubt in recommending 42nd street photo.

42nd Street Photo has been my go-to for all things photography for many years. I always feel confident in all my dealings with the shop because all the staff are friendly and welcoming.The shop has a family feel and any questions are answered fully and honestly. My recent purchase was at the 42nd Photo, an excellent consumer event with three excellent speakers.

As a newcomer to one aspect of photography, I greatly valued the time 42nd Street Photo dedicated to explaining my options while advising on the most cost-effective solution. The service was efficient and I was made to feel nothing was too much trouble. The man who assisted me was courteous, most knowledgeable and certainly interested in guiding me.

Fantastic Service

I have to admit I was a little panicked with the reviews but the Canon 5D Mark IV is up to snuff. We purchased this camera body, went for the full pack with all the extra trimmings to top it all!
Didn't pay the extra for delivery and I have to say I was very impressed. The tracking app was great. All in all a really good price! What more can anybody ask for!

After shopping around for a Fujifilm X100VI camera, 42 PHOTO had the best deal for the camera I wanted. To top that, communication was excellent and delivery was quick and package included most of what I needed to get started. It arrived quickly, and was at a favorable price. The camera works flawlessly and I am learning more each day about making it take great shots. Will certainly be using 42 PHOTO in the future.

I wasn't sure where to start when making this purchase, but the reviews looked good, so thought I'd give it a try. The ordering process was so easy, and online communications were excellent, with fast and clear replies. 42nd street photo looked after all duties and customs paperwork, and kept in touch all the way. I just had to follow the tracking and It all took 4 days from purchase to delivery, which included a weekend.

Bought a lumix s9 camera 20-60mm crimson red on Sunday night, and arrived 9 am Tuesday morning. Couldn't really fault them. Great price and far cheaper delivery than any other U.S. retailer. It was a bit nailbiting after I purchased and read some reviews, but honestly it was the best experience I've had with an online purchase.

42 PHOTO has a great selection and I've always gotten high-quality, meekly used gear for tons less than buying new. The ordering process is quick, simple and fantastic service. Recent purchase of a Fuji X-T50 camera and XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 lens. No fuss and very efficient service.

The quality of all the photographic equipment I have purchased has been fantastic that I won't go anywhere else. Having bought a number of equipment I now qualify for free postage which makes a big difference, so i feel a valued customer. I recently ordered a Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 lens on Friday, and it arrived at 9am this morning. Would certainly use 42nd street photo again.

I recently ordered a Fujifilm X100VI camera from 42nd street photo, Ordered on Saturday and got the package on Thursday. Once the package had been shipped it only took two days for the delivery. The camera and accessories were packaged nicely and it arrived sooner than expected! Everything was in good shape and worked just fine. I'd definitely recommend 42nd street photo to friends and I will definitely purchase from them again

My delivery arrived, but it came via
FedEx who initially said it was processed
As FedEx Ground Transit information
And would be arriving next day (Friday)
And link continued to give Friday throughout
The weekend and eventually arrived the next
Tuesday morning. Having no clue where your
Expensive camera is and reading negative
Reviews (irked people sticking the boot in) caused
A lot of worry. It's not 42nd Street Photo's fault, but
It would be nice if there were some options on how
They'd send order to you

I usually shop with amazon as they seemed to always be the cheapest, but I stumbled across these guys and managed to save myself over $100 on the purchase price! I ordered the telephoto lens on Friday and wasn't expecting a speedy service with free postage, but It arrived on Tuesday and I was kept updated all the way.
Definitely a 5 star service on price and customer service. I will definitely be using these guys again.

I decided I wanted the Canon EOS R5 camera in time to bring with me on vacation. 42 street photo was literally the only camera store that promised the two-day shipping I would need to get the camera on time. I placed my order on Monday night, had it shipped on Tuesday afternoon, and was in my hands on Friday afternoon. I would wholeheartedly recommend 42 street photo not just from this experience, but from the knowledge and care they put into their business.

Brilliant first-class service-fast and efficient. The Canon VIXIA HF G70 Camcorder was listed in stock but I was uncertain so held several phone calls to add other ancillary items. Following an email by John he confirmed my delivery would arrive within 8 days. It was actually moved from New York to Arkansas within 6 days, outstanding. Highly recommended.

I first visited 42nd street photo to browse through their informative and amusing reviews. I subsequently ordered a Sony FX3 camera when I realized that they offered the best price for the camera and, from the reviews I read, felt confident that they would offer a good service. The camera arrived in very good time, was very carefully packaged and it's very easy to use and the setup is very nice on it. If your looking to buy a Cinema camera I highly recommend getting a Sony FX3 camera from 42nd street photo

I have purchased a NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S lens from 42nd Street Photo and recommend others to purchase from them. On this occasion I needed a Nikon z lens for wildlife photography, Jonathan was prompt with email replies and very helpful over the FTZ II adapter needed. The correct adapter arrived first-class post next day after the lens. Impressive customer service.

I have been shopping with 42 Street Photo since 2020. I was initially very skeptical, considering the amount of money I was shelling out. My last purchase was for a Nikon Z50 Mirrorless Kit w/ Z DX 16-50mm & DX 50-250mm Lenses and boy I'm over the moon with it!
The camera was estimated to arrive on 4/6/24, my camera showed up at my door on 3rd. A huge thank you to you guys!
