I have never had a bad experience with Camera Co-op. Yes, it gets busy, mostly because the customer takes so long and has umpteen questions. I would probably want to run away if I had to put up with all the amateurs picking my brain. I know they were relocating - all you complainers can go your own way - I will hopefully be visiting them soon.

This place is on its last legs. No stock of any new cameras and not much of a selection of used either. Avoid this store, it will be a waste of your trip.

Do not trust any employee up to the owner. I trusted camera co-op personale to send my nikon D700 into Nikon...only to have my camera serial number taken off and replaced with a more broken camera then what I entrusted them. Manager and owner will not return calls promised..I have been going through this for 3months.. I highly recommend you not trust this business.

go somewhere else – The owner is a real cocky jack-a??. I learned to stay at houston camera exchange where service is nice and frienldy and prices are on this planet.

We dont like your kind here! – Forget about customer service here, especially if your a student and know little to nothing about photography, SOME of the employees have an arrogance that will blow your mind, I decided to take a photog class this semester and this store was recommended by our professor, I walked in and automatically felt out of place, the "younger" ones looked at me like I had just ruined their day, I asked one of the newer guys to help me, which he did, but gave me no information about the slr camera, didnt ... read more

Employees too busy chatting with friends to help customers – After seeing some of the comments here, I went by Camera Co-op to look at reflectors. I've usually shopped at the competitor on Richmond, where I've always had great service, especially from Reagan. Checking the competition wasn't worth the trip. Higher prices by a few $ on several identical items at both stores, and after 10 mins browsing, not a one of the 4-5 employees had asked if I wanted any help. They were all talking with friends, and from what I could tell,... read more

What a Rip-Off – I felt compelled to leave a review for Camera CO-OP store because of the terrible experience I had when purchasing a camera. I purchased a Canon 7D kit with a lens, after talking to the salesman about the options. Canon was running a good deal on these 7D kits with a lens. I asked the salesman if I could return it if I didn't like it, and he said as long as it was not used. What the slick salesman forgot to say was there is a restocking fee on all returns. So when I got home I did a little checking on the in... read more

Decent store, but do your homework on products. – I've been going to Camera Co Op since I first took a B&W photo class in high school and needed to purchase my first real camera. The employee who attended to me that time gave me a reasonable deal on a used camera and all the necessary equipment to get me started. I've been going back ever since even after the move and I've never really had a problem as far as the employees, they've always been pretty helpful for instance I once went in with an old polaroid pack camera and as... read more

Highly Recommended! – My husband and I are completely new to digital SLR cameras. We went here looking for a lens, not really knowing what we needed. All the staff that helped us were extremely helpful, friendly, professional, and helped us without talking "down to us". The first lens we purchased was apparently not compatible with our camera, and we had to go back to the store two or three times within an hour, before it finally became apparent that it was not compatible. Each time they were unfailingly smiling, helpful, an... read more
