I came into the store in search for a new camera and was very successful! I was provided with very attentive and patient customer service. I finally settled on a canon r100 with 18-45mm lens, no pushy... See more

I found your store on YouTube
I found your store on YouTube. Several people reviewing the camera I wanted recommended your store. I took their word and felt 42nd was high quality. I loved the one on one service even over the phone. I'm from Wisconsin and still felt I received quality advice and service without having to be at the store. Great people great camera. Thank you.
Great service
Great service. Everything was advertised and arrived on time. Phoned me to recommend some things and to let me know when my order had shipped, and also to check things after the sale.
42nd Street does right
At 42nd Street, the price is always good, but it's real. I've probably ordered 3 or 4 DSLRs over the last few years, plus however many lenses, and they charge me what they say, they don't pretend they have a great price but never ship the equipment, etc. (I've had those experiences elsewhere). I've always gotten my purchase pretty quickly, too, without paying extra. They just do it right. They do right. I'll be back.
When momma is happy, everyone is happy!
I ordered lenses for my wife for Christmas. 42nd street followed up on my order to confirm things and even offered some suggestions concerning the right filters for the lenses. Shipping was prompt, on time, and complete. My wife, the photographer was extremely pleased and happy.
Everything was quick and easy
Everything was quick and easy--no problems, no glitches--and the price was great!

Excellent Company, Service and Products
Excellent service, products and prices. They even followed up with me after a year to see if I was satisfied with the experience and my Sony A6300. Awesome company! Highly recommended. They had the best price on the A6300 at the time!
My new go-to camera store
After selecting the camera I wanted to purchase, I searched the web for where I could get it for the best price. 42nd Street Photo had the lowest price by far! Their service was great, shipping was prompt, and we've been very happy with the camera. I will definitely go back to 42nd Street Photo for my next purchase!
Great to deal with
I had my first experience with 42nd Street way back before digital cameras. I was very pleased at that time. My most recent purchase was equally excellent. Their advice and quick, accurate shipping makes them great to deal with even though I have never been in their store. One problem with the built in camera GPS was resolved very efficiently.
Highly Recommend
Great company, excellent customer service, would purchase from them again.

I highly recommend 42nd Street Photo..
I highly recommend 42nd Street Photo... I've have been a loyal customer for 40++ years buying cameras, lens's, camcorders, and related equipment. Including other electronic equipment over the many years.
I recently purchased another Nikon Lens. Prices, delivery, and customer services have always been excellent.
Again, I highly recommend 42nd St. Photo.
You had the lens I wanted at a price …
You had the lens I wanted at a price much lower then a local store. Where I bought the camera. Wish I had known about you guys before I bought it. Oh well! I love my Fuji, its like an extension of my eyes and the new lens brought significant magnification to bear and identical performance to the base zoom the camera came with. Excellent service, quick delivery, delightful bonus and friendly people. Well done!

Nikon D5300 - amazing camera & great shopping experience
Nikon D5300 is amazing camera. This is the second one I'm buying to gift my brother. I think 42nd street photo is the best place to buy from - especially the shopping experience. No fuss, straight and simple. They even called me confirming me the order and to check if signature upon delivery would be fine or not. To me this indicates they go an extra mile to ensure customers have a great shopping experience.
