Ordered a pair of Demo (high end) binoculars, and, of course, concerned that they would look pretty awful (happened with another dealer). But after talking with one of the Camera ...

people at Camera Land are so nice 5/17/2011

The people at Camera Land are so nice. I was calling constantly to ensure that my prints for my photo project would be ready in less than 24 hours and they never got nasty. I dropped a roll off at 1pm and received my prints the next day at 1pm. I will definitely be hitting them up for all of my future needs. more

service is more personal 5/5/2011

I bought a digital camera here and was very happy with it. The service is more personal than what you would find in a larger chain electronics store and I was also able to get him to lower the price a pretty decent amount. I bought it about two years ago and only had one problem since then. I brought it into the store and they fixed it for me free of charge. more

easy to use, wonderful Pix. 4/27/2011

I called about a Canon SD880 P&S, they had a deal with a carrying case, two battery's and two 2 gig cards shipped for about what every one was asking for the Camera. I placed the order and the FedX guy was here the next day with my package, great service. While the battery was coming up to full power I gave the Manual a quick glance so as not to break anything while installing the Battery and Card. Voilla...so easy even a caveman could do it, everything works great and the Software is easy to use, wonderful Pix. more

This is a gem in mid town 4/20/2011

What a great find. Needed a Nikon camera and not only did they have a showcase full of D300's but they were the same price as B and H on the camera and less on the lens I wanted. They took the time to show me the camera and explain all of its features. Scott was a very patient salesman and knew the product in and out. more

I checked a few items on their website afterwards and they are the same price as the ""big"" stores. This is a gem in mid town more

highly recommend the Sports Optics Dept. to all my friends 4/15/2011

This is my second purchase from the guys in the Sports Optics Dept. Everyone I've had the pleasure of talking with have been most honest and helpful. Doug, Joel, Neil,and ""Pops"" are excellent to deal with. That section was set up to help the outdoors people secure fine optics at good prices with quick delivery. To that end, I believe they have succeeded ! I will continue to shop here and highly recommend the Sports Optics Dept. to all my friends. more
