Very Rude.. Tourist Trappers, Avoid ever going in – I've been to this store twice. The first time I didn't like having to wait and wait for an assistant, but once someone helped me things were ok. I bought just a filter though after figuring out that somethings were just way too expensive. So the second time I went to pick up just a Compact Flash card. Something you can get anywhere. Again I had to wait and wait. Then the sales guy just kind of looked at me, so I asked if he was busy. He said no, so I asked to see an item. I... read more

Damaged expensive lens – I called about an Anamorphic lens cleaning one day, I figured I'd treat myself and get it cleaned. Of course, they wouldn't give me a quote over the phone, so I had to come in to have them tell me it would cost 75$. I should have turned around and walked out the door (I had paid $25 before at a much smaller shop in Anchorage, Alaska.) Instead I left a $50 deposit. They called me a few hours later asking me to pick it up because they couldn't repair it. I went and picked it up gave it the look over, a... read more

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT SHOP HERE – I have never bothered posting a review about bad service before but it was SO BAD here I was incensed (and nearly reduced to tears) from the aggressive and unfriendly manner I gave a broad set of criteria and was told only 1 camera met it, finding it hard to believe that there is really only 1 D-SLR on the market at the moment I asked to see what else they had and was told if I didn't like his recommendation to shop elsewhere. I will. So should you. by the way Discount is just a nam... read more

The Worst – I tried to purchase a lens from Discount Camera last year and called them to inquire about various prices. They refused to quote a price to me over the phone. I went in recently to look at a Canon 5d and they said they had only 1 in stock which was in he box and they woudn't remove it. They said if I wanted to buy it, they would go get it so I could look at it. Like the other person who wrote a review about this place, I have never once written a review about any place, and was looking online to find a place in S... read more

VERY RUDE – I was in Discount Camera on Saturday and quoted 39.95 for a 49mm close up lens set. I returned on Monday to purchase the set and was told that the sets were 49.00 and 69.00 and that they didn't even have close up lenses in stock on Saturday. The man was VERY rude and spoke with me as if I was making up my Saturday visit all together. Because of this man's attitude, I will never return to this store. By the way, I never rate stores or restaurants, but found this experience so awful that it must be shared. Go somew... read more

Leave the pushing for the film – I have been to discount camera a number of times swearing to myself that next time I would go elsewhere. I've been lazy and since they are conveniently located, I've returned a few times. This last visit I find myself so offended by their aggressive business practices that I feel compelled to write. I had the displeasure of dealing with one of the owners and he was unknowledgeable and boorish. He didnt listen to what I wanted and was just trying to make a sale.
