After using Nikon-F film cameras since '68, I finally decided to totally convert to a Nikon digital camera and spent some time with a couple of the sales folks at Bernie's Photo and decided that a Nikon D90 would satisfy all my needs and was told that they'd be willing to accept my Nikon FTN and four lenses on trade. I had a relative call later to determine if they had a D90 in stock and the fellow he spoke to at Bernie's tried to talk him into a different model which, as I found out by perusing the Nikon site, is more expen... read more

I bought a camera there and they treated me fairly. Also, they have film for Polaroid cameras at a reasonable price.

Diamon in the Ruff – If you are a internet shopper and price is your bottom line then Bernies is not for you. If you want someone to show you how to operate a piece of digital or photo equipment explain why you should buy this not that or you own a camera thats old and want info on how to use it or anything photographic for that matter Bernies can do it. Its an old fashion CAMERA STORE you cant and will not recieve any info from the internet. Small indepentent speciality store cannot compete wil the internet. on pricing the ... read more

Extemely slow and unfriendly – I stopped in to pick up a particular photographic paper that my daughter needed for her college B&W class. I had called ahead of time and they said they had it. I ran down on my lunch hour because we needed it ASAP. I walked into the store and there were litterally 10 people waiting to be waited on. It was completely disorganized and the people working there had no cares in the world about all the customers. I found the place to be messy and the staff completely unfriendly and not knowledgable.... read more

The owner is rude – The owner of Bernies is rude, arrogant and full of himself. He knows little to nothing of photographic technology newer than 1989 and most of the other people there are just as bad. They will lie to you to get you to buy anything they can. Most of the store has the "Screw them and toss them out the door" attitude, especially good for this is the heavy set guy who ran the used camera store before it closed. He is so full of himself its amazing. One person that is still there and stands out in a terrible mi... read more

Extremely Bad Experience – I dropped off three rolls of 120 film and had to wait 6 weeks for a process that they assured me would take only 2 weeks. I called several times and the employee was rude and unapologetic. When I went to pick up the pictures they were overexposed, bent and actually had dirt on the white backs. I also requested and paid for white borders around them which was not done. The employee was just plain hateful and apathetic about the whole thing. It was by far the worst experience I've had with a photo ce... read more

Pittsburgh's Best Video/Photo Transfer/Repa Service Provider – I went to Bernie's to ask for help transferring my dad's old home videos from all sorts of outdated formats to a digital format that I could edit. Not only did Bernie's help me do all of this, they did so quickly, professionally, and very economically. Moreover, they went above and beyond the call of duty when some of the tapes proved to be damaged and/or challenging to transfer. Instead of charging me a lot more money or just simply telling me that they couldn't... read more

Reliable, helpful, friendly, instructive – I've been shopping at Bernie's for 25 years. I've repeatedly put myself in their capable hands for purchases of some type of equipment that was new to me and I've always been satisfied. I have bought paper and film from them in the old days, cameras of several kinds, attachments of many kinds, tripods. They recognize my voice on the phone! Is that a good thing these days? You bet! It means a lot to have some history at a local place instead of some anonymous big box. It FEELS like p... read more
