No More For Us!! – We fell in love with this shop when we first visited! The older guy who works there was very knowledgeable and helped us more than we could have ever expected. We began driving the long drive to this shop instead of trying local stores. We loved it the first few times we went and spent over a thousand dollars on equipment. Two things have really left a bad taste in our mouths since. We made the long haul there to purchase a $1700 camera and when we arrived a young girl was behind the counter. She hardly ma... read more

Trust – Hello, For me trust is everything, I quote a line by Jim Marshall "I think the body of my work is based on trust, trust given, trust received." When I buy a new or used camera or camera accessory I want to know the people I'm buying from are not only knowledgeable but willing to make it right if something should not work out as planned. Over the years I have found all of that and more at Columbus Camera Group, I would recommend this camera shop to any friend and even more to a person who loves hard to find used equip... read more

Be selective – I give a hearty amen to the other comments. John Hoffman (Spellng??) is an up front straight shooter. Eric on the other hand, is a fast talking, car salesman type of guy.

Great place to get stuff... but beware – Let me tell you, this place has everything you'll need in terms of photography equipment. Not so much on the digital side, unless it's high end. You can get stuff at a good price as long as you don't talk to Eric. He will rip you off, I promise you. Talk to John, or Geoffery. Rob and Justin are very nice as well. Everyone is very nice and helpful. Bottom line. Come here if you're interested in photography.

Best camera store in Columbus!! – I LOVE this place! I talk with John everytime I go in the shop and he is anything but a swindler! John is so great and he helps me find exactly what I need and usually gives me a cheaper price than expected. The other owner who is there on Sat. is a pain, but if you go in during the week you will find very informative and nice people to deal with. I am a student at CCAD and I will never shop anywhere else for my photographic needs.

more than happy to rip ya off – I went to this place for years when I lived in Ohio to pick up 35mm equipment, a format I knew a lot about. On a recent visit to C-bus I was looking for some 4x5 equipment, something I know pretty much nothing about. The guy working there was more than happy to sell me an overpriced polaroid back, without the darn dark-slide even, telling me that "It'd work fine." They do have an amazing selection of stuff, but be sure to study up on what you're looking for and don't be scared to haggle. I sho... read more

35mm heaven – The staff is very kind and helpful. I am in the early stages of learning to develop my own film and everyone was so helpful. Thay had everthing I needed! It is worth the trip to check out the building alone.The shop is in an old church. Columbus Camera Group has beed in buisness for 20+ years and with one visit you can see why.
