Ordered online. Ordered my Coleman Xtreme3 C9WP kit for $109 no tax, and free shipping on a FRIDAY morning, I got an email it shipped same day I ordered it, received package on the following MONDAY through USPS. Camera pictures and videos are a lot more clear than anticipated. Autofocuses like a charm going from in pool to out of pool.

I am so glad to find Cameta Camera. They offers a lot of film making equipment at an affordable and reasonable price. Ive been a customer here for 3 years and the 50mm lens that I purchased is still working very well. The staffs are very nice and knowledgeable with every equipment that they sell.

Cameta Camera has been my go to store for over 15 years, they have knowledgeable and friendly staff and a nice selection of equipment. They are a staple in the community and a store that everyone loves. Kudos to the staff for making Cameta such a great place!

I purchased 2 Nikon cameras, lenses and accessories from Cameta Camera within the past 4 months. Peter was excellent to deal with both times! This company is reliable and they stand behind their products. It is always a pleasure to call them, everyones kind and they always talk with respect and provide excellent customer service. Thank you! Ill be back soon!

So glad to have found Cameta Camera and Cathy Razzano. Her expertise and helpfulness made my camera selection process easy as she skillfully guided me to the level of camera I was ready for. Her follow-up assistance has been exemplary and requires comment. I just called today with a question regarding an old lens, which I had purchased elsewhere many years ago. Cathy had the answer and then generously offered more helpful information regarding my lenses. Thanks, Cathy!

I found their video showing the features of the Nikon I wanted very helpful. All of the features of the bundle were shown as well. The folk in the video were personable and funny, helping me to decide which camera to purchase.Later I was contacted by Rosanna requesting additional information be placed on my credit card, thereby ensuring that ONLY I could be using my credit card. Thank you for helping keep my credit information secure. Now I know my daughter will love her camera Christmas morning.

Nice store, Pleasant employees and no BS. They are free with their advice and know a great deal about the products that they sell. Unlike SOME places (Like that place in Lynbrook), they dont hustle you, rush you, or make you think theyre doing you a favor. They treat their customers and potential customers with courtesy and straight talk.

Ive ordered some items from here years past, they seemed like a pretty good company then. However I placed a recent order in which their website would not allow me to enter in my PO Box. I do not receive mail at my physical address but receive it via a PO Box. However I do receive packages via UPS or FedEx etc at my physical address so I entered my physical address in. In my experience when companies do not allow you to enter in a PO Box it is because they ship via UPS or FedEx. However they shipped it USPS. Long story short USPS would not deliver it without the mail box for whatever reason. The first rep that I spoke to concerning this matter was pleasant. I reordered the item over the phone to be shipped to my PO Box... however a week or so later when they issued a refund they only gave me a partial refund minus shipping. I called again inquiring about this and the second representative was very rude. After arguing the point with a raised voice she finally issued me a refund for the shipping as well. However with all that attitude I will not be doing anymore business with this place. Im glad I found out all this now as I have a budget where I need to purchase some big ticket item video cameras and would hate to spend thousands on a company then get treated like this! What happened to businesses these days? It seems like some of them feel like you owe them something for doing business with them!

The prices are great, the people are great. Best place on long Island. If your a beginner then this is the place for you. The employees are really easy going, willing to share all the tips you need and help set you up with a great camera for what your looking to do. If your an expert its still a great place because they have it all and you get the service and attention youll never find at b&h. I highly recommend them to everyone and youll also get the best deals possible.

Cameta provided excellent customer service throughout the process. The person on the phone answered all my questions and took my order directly. I got an email with the full receipt, a link for support, and the tracking information. (So I didnt have to go to the website and search around for anything as with other businesses.) The camera came nicely packaged with all items. I would definitely shop there again and recommended them to my friends.

I got the best price on a refurbished Nikon L330 kit. It came with everything! It was like Christmas in September and saved me from having to purchase items separately. The camera was in perfect condition and came with a 90 Day warranty. I just wish I would have paid more for faster shipping. But the free shipping saved me even more money.

They have a fully equipped on site photo lab and I send all my critical work to them as they havent ever let me down. Definitely Long Islands camera store

Dont let thd size of the building fool you.... Inside is everything you need. I started with Cameta through an EBay purchase then found out they were local and had a retail store.... Brought my camera with me.... The fellow behind the counter gave an impromptu lesson on some things I did not understand.... Even though my camera was a gift purchased elsewhere. Lots of good advice and recommendations.... Quality stuff at reasonable prices... Got a great computer // camera backpack.... When I admitted I did not want to spend too much I was shown a very reasonably priced alternative to the big dollar item. As an novice / amateur I find this store very friendly! Love to visit when I can!

I ordered their camera from Amazon and never received it. I tried to explained to Cameta camera that I never received the package from Fedex. Instead of helping me to investigate the accurate information and solve the problem, I received very aggressive customer service without apologies for the mislead information they had from Fedex. 7 days after the promised delivery date, I still don’t have camera or money return. I wished customer service could be more professional and being helpful.

Packaging was very good! The Price and added bonus equipment were exceptional! I expected the extras to be low quality and was pleasantly surprised to find an especially nice quality backpack included. The UV filter and CPS filter are great! The lens case is nice and the monopod is decent. Thank you Cameta Camera! I would definitely order from here again. The communication was top notch. They immediately included shipping tracking, shipping insurance and a low price guarantee! They earned my business and trust. I honestly dont think you could find a better deal or better business to buy from! March 2016

This place is great. You always get great service at great prices. If your into photography or just want a basic camera this is definitely the place. Forget going to best buy, target or any of those other places that just happen to have cameras. These are the people you want to see, they wont judge and they can seriously help you.

I ordered a Drift Action Camera Kit through their website and chose the Free Shipping option, I had everything in 3 days.

Review №27

I am sorry there is not 0 stars. I bought from this company recently through Amazon. Their product, a cannon camera came defective. The accessories bundled with the camera were the worst quality Ive ever seen. But that wasnt it. Amazon assured me I could disposed of the merchandise. Sure some of the items could have been put to use, although I prefer to work with quality products and initially wanted to return but was told by Amazon after a long while on the phone, that it wasnt necessary. Next thing, I get an edgy email from Cameta Camera,. I felt wrongly treated. They never offered any solutions, not even to replace the camera. I could suspect they knew from the beginning the equipment was defective and low quality. They told me they didnt plan on honoring what Amazon had offered and instead would dispute the refund. WORST customer service experience, ever. There are tons of companies out there to buy from I definitely DO NOT RECCOMEND this company.

We have not used Cameta Camera before...but your prompt response to our order, resolving my credit card issue and processing my email before I had the chance to call you back...tells me we made an excellent choice in buying from you! Your web page was detailed, easy to navigate and very informative...plus you answer the phone every time I call! You all have done an excellent job! Keep it up! (2/1/16)

I got all the information for my new video camera on line and in some stores, but when I went to Cameta they really had some wonderful insights for my personal situation that helped me choose some equipment that today is really making the difference when it comes to practicalities of using these cameras in the field. Thanks guys for great service and guidance.

My go to camera store. Every time I walk through the door I receive top notch treatment by the staff. If I have a question about something new I need to shoot they immediately will give me good tips and recommend equipment. The best part is they dont always try to push the most expensive item in the store, rather they show me the best option for what Im shooting. Great place all around!

After having a not so great experience with another dealer I managed to get the exact package deal I wanted from Cameta for the same special price as the other seller. They were very efficient in making sure the package was delivered to the correct address after a few problems with the confirmation from my credit card company. I will definitely use them in the future for other camera needs.

Cathy Razzano is the lady you want to take your order. She was super nice, knowledgeable and saved me an extra 100 dollars because she knew Panasonic was going to be offering more rebates in a couple of days. So I called in two days when the new rebate was in effect and saved even more. She also worked with me on one of those package deals by substituting and combining the packaged items for better more expensive items. She knows what she is doing on that computer she is good at working that deal! Everything showed up as promised and on time. Keep up the good work Cathy!

Review №44

I dont know where to start. I ordered a Fujifilm X-T2 from Amazon and it was fulfilled by Cameta Camera. Within six months, I had to send it off to Fujifilm for repair. The camera was freezing and wouldnt turn off, even when switched off. The only way to power it down was to pop the battery out.Then, new issues presented themselves. There was a rolling black shadow across the screen and after clicking the shutter, I realized that those black shadows showed up in my images as well. They look like lines across the frame. They dont show up when I snap a picture with my iPhone, only the X-T2. The LCD screen also flickered.I sent the camera in for repair a second time and once again, it was repaired. Ive now owned the camera for nine months and I have been going back and forth with the repair and warranty department of Fujifilm since November (its February now). I was also without the camera for the entire holiday season.I was not aware at the time of purchase, but I have since learned via Fujifilm that the camera sent to me by Cameta Camera and advertised as BRAND NEW was in fact, not factory sealed!!! They sold me a used camera (or possibly a floor display) and passed it off as new. Shame on them. I would never have purchased it in the first place if Id known it wasnt factory sealed.This was an expensive purchase. Not to mention the hassle of going back and forth with Fujifilms repair dept.

Cameta Camera is the only place I would consider buying a camera from. They are courteous and knowledgeable about the products they sell. They are honest about pricing and will offer you the best deal you will find on the Camera of you choice anywhere. After trying to buy my camera in two other store and having to deal with less than honorable salesmen Gray Market and bait and switch techniques I ended up in Cameta and boy am I glad I did. Sales person Ray Allen, took the time to explain the camera and my options without confusing me and made me more than comfortable with my purchase. Buy your camera from Cameta and I promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks Ray!

I ordered a camera from Cameta and when it arrived I discovered that it was defective from the manufacturer. When I contacted Cameta, they emailed me a return shipping label.

Customer service over the phone was excellent and their timeliness in correcting the problem was amazing.

Found Cameta Camera through Amazon and called to ensure they were a registered Nikon dealer/ legitimate seller. I spoke with Cathy and she was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

I shopped at the store in Amityville and was treated magnificently. Cathy showed me the various cameras, explained to me what each could do and helped me figure out which one to buy based on my experience and expectations. She showed me cameras in several price ranges and did not pressure me to buy the most expensive. I am very happy with the camera I purchased and would go back for anything else I needed.

What a wonderful experience it was doing business with Cameta Camera. Sarah in Customer Service and Rosanna in Order Processing were so helpful and professional. They set the standard for customer service. I had some pretty tight time constraints on my order, and both of these professional ladies worked seamlessly to get my order to me in a timely manner. But they were so sweet in the way they spoke to me that it set them apart form other businesses that I have dealt with in the past. I have bought a lot of camera equipment in the past from New York companies, and I have come to expect to be treated like a number being processed by a computer. But these two ladies were helpful, compassionate and followed through on what they said they would do. Five stars is not enough for the service I received. Keep up the good work, Cameta Camera, and Id like to say, I love you to Sarah and Rosanna.

Review №52

If you are reading this review because of an online order they refused to process let me save you some time it’s like that all the way down.I ordered a camera with my Visa, they asked me to send in a credit card statement to prove my address as they couldn’t verify international credit cards (Canada). I did and it still wasn’t good enough they asked me to send them money directly to be able to “process the order”. I explained to them that this offers me no protection as a consumer. Keep in mind this item is around $2000. I called Visa to see what was going on and they indicated to me that Cameta Camera did verify the card and that there was no issue in charging the card. So I logged a complaint with Visa international and they said they will be looking into the matter. Maybe they are avoiding the commission that they need to pay visa for the sale or maybe they are just incompetent because it is a fact that the card was verified with a test transaction when I placed the order online. One thing I will say though is that they do get back to you quickly and professionally (Sabrina and Rosanna). But come on guys get your **** together. I Wasted my time and I never got the camera the transaction was canceled on their end.

I cant say enough about this store. Anytime I go in there, the service is outstanding. The staff is supportive and not overbearing. You can tell that all of the salespeople have years of experience in the field and are happy to answer any of your questions. Their prices are also great and this is why I continue to shop here. I am originally from LI but have moved since to Brooklyn, where there are ample camera stores,yet I will always travel back to go to Cameta because no other store offers as much as they do both in terms of customer service and products.Today, I purchased a new camera bag from Mike B. He helped me find the right bag and went out of his way to get me the color I wanted from the warehouse. This is one of the many reasons why I love this place.Overall, I highly recommend this store.

New, used or factory refurbished is usually clearly stated and not information you have to search for.

I spent a lot of time researching where to buy the camera I wanted. In the end Cameta Camera (bought via Amazon) offered a bundle of 14 items for the same price as every other online and brick & mortar store (which only included the camera, lens & battery charger). Im blown away with all the accessories that came in the bundle. I paid for expedited shipping and my package arrived on time, undamaged and complete with all items. I would buy from Cameta Camera again.

Cameta (Rosanna) went the extra mile to ensure my order was delivered on-time.Many sellers would have just let the overnight delivery slip due to the AmX verification step.

Bad Experience. I placed an order for D5300 and Black Friday. They had them in stock and now they are saying it is not available with them and hence they will refund the money. I could have brought from another local store at the same price but Cameta was providing them at the same price but with a better package. Now they are not honoring the transaction and I have to go and buy it from somewhere else and I have pay $100 more for the same because the same offer is not available. This is not a fair way of doing a business.

ABOVE AND BEYOND customer service from Cameta Camera!!! We purchased a camera at the last minute before a family vacation and paid for expedited shipping (a reasonable charge compared to other vendors.) There was an issue in processing our order and Cameta Camera called us to explain the situation and they paid the difference to NEXT DAY SHIP the order. It arrived just in time, on the day we had expected it to initially arrive. In addition to excellent customer service, we were thoroughly pleased with the product we received. The refurbished camera was in flawless condition and works just as expected. We look forward to doing business with Cameta Camera again!

Ordered a refurbished Nikon L840 kit. Shipped fast, but I must say the UPS SurePost option does no more than add a day to delivery since the US Post Office has to process the package through their sorting for delivery when UPS could have just delivered it and been done.As far as the camera goes, Im sure I will be a repeat customer for the Holidays and Birthdays coming up.I offer a 5 star rating but would have dropped it to 4.5 if that option was available to me.

I bought a used Nikon Df from Cameta and was impressed with what I got for the price. It was one of the most competitively priced models I could find, even compared to Ebay.

Buying on the internet varies from getting answered by programmed computers on to the dedicated and very personal attention given by the staff at Cameta, at all levels. I am outside the United States on assignment and often have trouble ordering in the USA. I had trouble with this order. Cameta gave me personal attention and remained in contact with me while I solved a credit card issue. My order was for less than 500 dollars but they made me feel I was spending 5,000 dollars with them. Thank you Cameta Cameras... this was my first purchase with you but will not be my last.

Tried to order a camera, I was told my billing and shipping address must be the same.... weird, never heard that before but I agreed. Next I was told their 3rd party verification company will not accept my credit card that I had to do a bank transfer. I asked if my bank blocked the transaction since BOA will do that if they suspect something is not right. I was told no, the 3rd party just wouldnt verify my card. Looks like this company is not ready for online transactions. Seems like they dont care about customers at all.

We had a situation this past weekend where, due to family drama, we needed a bunch of photos scanned in a hurry. I called several other places on Long Island who either did not respond, responded too late, or were unable to take the job on such short notice. Then I found Cameta, which not only answered the phone but agreed to scan 100 photos, many of them at 1200 dpi, in a span of about 2 hours. They did an excellent job, too. We had fun afterwards looking at details that my fiances family had never noticed in the original photos because they were too small. Thank you, Cameta, for working with us to scan a lot of photos with a very short turnaround time and still doing quality work.

So I saw they sell the Sony RX100 VA via amazon and several reviewers state that Cameta is shipping the V (older version). I call Cameta to clarify this because I wanted to make a purchase and the representative is responding in a defensive and non professional manner: “ if it says 5A then it’s a 5A!” And again I explain that obviously makes sense however I am calling to clarify this because of the reviews yet he insists on repeating the same thing as if I’m asking a dumb question. I obviously don’t want the hassle of returning a new package if that’s the case and save time on both ends but he clearly doesn’t get it. Cameta you just lost a potential customer. Please train your customer reps how to assure customers instead of responding immediately being defensive and rude about simple inquiries that can be resolved professionally. I’ll stick to B&H.

I have had many transactions with Cameta Camera over the past few years and was always completely satisfied with all phases of my purchases. The sales people are very polite, well mannered and knowledgable. A pleasure to do business with.

You are absolutely the best in the market without any ifs and buts. I googled tons of online stores and found almost all a bit shameless. Not a single online store with exceptional reviews and Cameta gained my trust. I thoroughly reviewed their policies and felt the risk but because of WallMart and Best Buy told me that although I ordered in time but they cant guarantee the delivery and the deal value which pissed my ....... (you know) and thus I placed my order in a scenario which is unusual but Cameta approved it (I cannot disclose the scenario but just consider that Cameta went out of their policies). More than that, not only they approved but in such a busy season they entertained my emails/ questions extremely fast and above all they delivered before the promised time. I don’t have the budget but trust me I’d have paid you more for this which I will do with my next buyout.

I attempted to do business with this company and failed. I purchased a camera from them on their website and they refuse to take my money. It only took them an entire day after choosing next day shipping for them to let me know. I own multiple businesses and have used this Visa card for almost 9 years without any issues until now. They make it very inconvenient to do business with them. Its very surprising they wont allow me to spend money with them. I have over 100 other vendors my companies do business with. After speaking and ordering from their competitor it seems that this is a regular occurrence. Theyre doing a great job keeping the other camera companies busy.

I had purchased a canon eos 7d and canon 10-22 wide angle lens from cameta camera last week. The service was excellent. Peter was very helpful and understanding. I had purchased other items previously from them and always found their sales people to bevery courteous, knowledgeable and understanding about their customers needs.I will certainly continue any future purchases with them. Their prices are also very good.thank you.

Buying off the internet can be confusing, to say the least. Who do you trust?After eliminating all of the international sellers (IE: NO factory warranty!) for my next camera purchase, I selected Cameta Camera.The selection was easy because their website invited me to create my own package for my camera.I called them on Monday morning and the salesman immediately accommodated my request and made some suggestions. I also mentioned that I was leaving for vacation on Thursday and wanted my camera package by Wednesday, he quickly added 2-day rush shipping for a very reasonable fee.My order was placed.I received my order on Wednesday as scheduled and I was thrilled!But....one small problem. The camera was defective out of the box and displayed an error code. ARGH!!I called Cameta and left the tech support a message on Friday morning while on vacation in NY. I called Panasonic and they suggested I contact the seller directly. Within minutes, Nick from tech support apologized, asked me a few questions and immediately offered a replacement camera. I mentioned that I was a little over an hour (NY traffic time) away and asked if I could exchange it in person so I can have a camera for the remainder of my vacation. Nick placed me on a brief hold, came back with a yes!. Come in and well have everything ready for you he said.I made the trip to their shipping warehouse and was immediately greeted. Not only was the exchange effortless, they also upgraded my camera bag.The team at Cameta was amazing to deal with- I highly recommend them!!
