Camera Shop

I found this place because I needed to get my Nikon speedlight repaired. For repairs they use an external lab somewhere (no in-​house repair services unless it’s very minor). You put a $ 50 deposit down, then they send it in, and after your equipment is evaluated they call you with a quote. You can either give them the go ahead or tell them to hold off while you go work the street corner.
Okay that’s a total joke but really, photography is an expensive profession!
What shocked me though is that repairs take 3 – 5 weeks or some outrageous time frame like that. I’m not sure what professional photographer can afford to go that long without an essential piece of their equipment.
Next time I’m seriously considering driving to the Nikon place near Detroit that does repairs while you wait (or, so I’ve heard).
BUT, I’ve also gone in to purchase a mononpod and a mini softbox for my speedlight. Both times I asked the staff for recommendations and they were happy to take the time to help me. Usually though you can find products online that are much cheaper, but it’s good to help out a local shop and know you’re getting a good product.
Overall I give this place 4 stars because they have a good amount of quality equipment for sale, their staff always helps me when I ask, and they seem to be on top of things. The repair time most likely isn’t their fault.
Oh also I’ve gone in to get my camera body and sensor cleaned, and it came back looking great.

They do indeed have cameras. Far more of a selection of new digital brands than most places — in fact Castle Photo only carries Canon, do you believe it? Anyway, the people seemed nice enough when I went in, and they do 120 color film which is a plus.
Not a great fount of used camera goodies though, which is what I’m after. Also, very very little in the way of film photography support, but you could probably guess that nowadays.
