Reviews of Bozeman Camera & Repair Inc (Photo Studio)

Keith Aldrich

If you need a repair or cleaning this is THE PLACE to go. They also have a great selection of both used and new lenses. They are very competitive on price with new lenses and totally worth buying here rather than online. I've bought several used lenses and new lenses from Bozeman Camera Repair. I've never had a single issue with a used lens and when I've wanted to trade up on a lens they've always given me a great price on my old lens. I've also rented lenses from them on a few occasions and the rates for rental are very good. The staff is very knowledgable and will help try to find the best camera or lens for your needs and will never try to oversell you.

The staff is extremely friendly, I have purchased multiple items from their store with no problems. They went above any beyond to help get my camera ready for the upcoming photography season.

Holly Mau

Really nice staff and selection of lenses. They were even able to help me find another supplier when they didn't have an item I was looking for

Terrific service. Knowledgeable, helpful. We felt that we got honest answers from them. I definitely recommend them.

Pat Blasdell

Wings were great!! Service excellent.

John Waite

We knew before we went to Yellowstone last summer that our photography gear bag didn't have the range to do the place justice, so we contacted the great staff at Bozeman Camera & Repair Inc. before our trip to reserve two lenses. Not a problem. Stopped in to pick up the lenses, they were waiting as promised, and were exactly as advertised, with no fuss, no muss. The guys made sure we knew how to use them and that we felt confident with the various features of each before we left the store. Had a great time using them and got some fantastic shots only made possible because of access to their gear. Thanks guys, you made our trip! And that Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary locked down on those three wolves in Hayden Valley like nothing I'd ever used before!

Seth Robbins

Awesome place. The sales staff are very intelligent and patient. They also cleaned my digital camera's sensor in two hours.

David Bouchat

Best customer service ever!!! One of the reasons I keep buying at local stores. thank you

Justin L. Stewart

Great guys. All photographers and photo lovers themselves which means they care about the equipment they service. I've been going to these guys ever since I came here as a photo major for school and they're great. They hook you up with great deals and really know their stuff. Go here for your photographic needs.

David Edmonds

Rented twice from her and they are always extremely accommodating. Highly recommend.

orville bach

Superior service. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional. Very customer-oriented and they stand behind what they sell. If you have questions about the product they were very willing to help you. In my opinion, I would always buy from this business rather than order online. I would rather have the personal help than attempt to save a few bucks.

Amber Hoadley

I have always had amazing service here. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly, and their rental prices are very reasonable !

Leif Wickland

Knowledgeable staff who are exceptionally willing to help. Don't let the name or low rent store front fool you; this is a well-stocked establishment selling new and used gear.

Savannah Thornbrugh

Just stopped in to see if they were interested in an old school Polaroid camera I had. One older gentleman was nice enough to help me. The manager or owner Rick was completely rude to me. I was only asking merely to see what I could get for it and they treated me like I was an idiot. Dog was sweet, Customer service was not.

Alexandra Woolley

Such nice guys in the store! Always willing to help and answer any questions. They are very honest and giving you the price possible.

David Hollenback

Always great service at Bozeman camera

Steve Hample

I will continue the five star rating. In the relatively small town of Bozeman we are fortunate to have two high quality stores serving professional level photographers and also the general public. This might be due to nationally recognized photographers based here near Yellowstone National Park and in a relatively small town environment with great airline connections. I have dealt with both and both are excellent. Bozeman Camera and Repair seems to have more used equipment at a good price while the other store is the traditional landmark type place for excellent staff and new equipment. This high opinion of both this store and its quasi competitor might have to do the the highly regarded Film and TV department at MSU graduating a batch of well educated students every year. I think the nearest other places offering this level of professional camera expertise would be Seattle, Denver, Minneapolis or Chicago.

J Clifton Meek

Great resource -- true photographer's store, not a flashy uptown shop.

Kenneth Starr

Great service good gear. Was disappointed when I came to pick up a scheduled lens I rented and their tech had taken it home. Or that was what I was told.

Juraj Dolanjski

My experience with Bozeman camera was in a form of mail order. They answered all my questions, provided accurate ordering information and fulfilled the order in a timely fashion. Both the trade-in and new Lumix order was done as they initially promised. They even stepped in to deal with unreasonable brokerage fees that UPS had charged to ship to Canada. Thank you Brian!

Diane Erhart

Very knowledgeable staff, great selection of equipment, and rentals.

Chris Fuller

Montana does not have many camera stores, if any at all anymore. This is now probably the best camera store in the state with a large selection of used items.

Alex Wardwell

Excellent gear and customer service!

Nick Ramsay

Reliable, knowledgeable staff.

Might B Fire

Yep, the reviews are correct, this place is a gem. Super-friendly and stocked with great stuff. So glad they exist.

Bill Hanson

Better than Samy’s in So. Cal. Wide selection of all brands. Knowledgeable staff and plenty of them. Little slow with special orders. Amazing to find this in a small town like Bozeman. Love this place.

Josh Able

Great store with knowledgeable staff. Please support your local camera stores! Often than can price match the internet.

Duke Sharp

Always helpful, friendly and prices are good, highly recommended.

Jay Szott

Best camera and lens selection in town! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff will spend as much time with you as you want. They carry high end accessories and have almost every lens Canon and Nikon make.

ryan galloway

Very knowledgeable staff and fun to talk to about anything camera related. They have anything you might need!

Grant Junghans

The staff was very knowledgeable and hooked me up with a camera that I needed in under an hour.

Jeff Dachowski

I have purchased at least 5 pro grade cameras from Marshall along with at least a dozen lenses over the last ten years. Everything I order comes to me EXACTLY as it was described. A great value with a lot of experience!

Usiel Vargas

Great service and amazing staff! I drove from Billings to get our camera cleaned and they took care of this for us while we grabbed some lunch. I'm very pleased with the job done and was able to capture some great shots on the drive back.

Chris Pschernig

I recently had to take photos at a wedding and wanted to rent high quality lenses and a camera that could shoot in any lighting. I had checked some online rental companies but they had high rates, high deposits, and extra fees at every corner. So I looked local and found Bozeman Camera. From start to the finish they were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I told them what kind of photos I would be taking and they gave me recommendations and tips. I highly recommend Bozeman Camera for your next rental.

Garrett

Great camera shop. Knowledgeable staff that's willing to teach you. Great prices. Lots of 2nd hand stuff as well

Josh Dierman

These guys are the best in town. I had them special order a Nikon telephoto lens for me. Within a couple weeks of purchase it got a piece of dust inside that was causing a nasty dark spot in my pictures. Rather than referring me to Nikon service and leaving me without a lens for several weeks they gave me the same lens from their stock, and sent the defective one back. Above and beyond.

Samuel Quick

Best little camera shop in Bozeman. They pack some serious hardware and some seriously well trained staff. I exclusively buy my camera items here rather than online (even if it is a few dollars more). Really good selection for modern day DSLR's, but also an extensive film collection as well. Lots of accessories like books, bags, tripods, and lighting as well. One thing I appreciate is being treated like a serious photographer, even when purchasing baseline camera models. That is defiantly something they deliver on. Thanks Bozeman Camera!

Todd Collins

These guys are great. They know their stuff and are kind, courteous and always willing to help. I guess that is why their store is always busy.

Karl B

Today, the guys over at Bozeman Camera made my dream of owning a full frame camera a reality. I would like to especially thank Brian for keeping me updated on the inventory of the Canon 6d that I wanted and for giving me the a great deal on my trade in. You guys are amazing, definitely the best camera shop in town!

Bayard L

These pros know their cameras, lenses, and accessories like the back of their hand. Shopping for camera support equipment is great here because of the knowledgeable staff and the opportunity to get gear in your hands before buying. Their selection of rental items is unmatched in the Gallatin Valley and booking a lens, camera, or flash is just s quick phone call. They rent current DSLRs, high-end Canon and Nikon lenses, lighting kits, and camera support gear.

Maurice Austin

Very informed. Super friendly. I was unsure which way to go and Brian stepped up and offered his knowledge. Very happy Customer

Nick Penniman

Superb staff with intimate knowledge of their products. We purchased an old Pentax 35mm, and the salesman treated it like an old friend. Highly recommend this store.

Scott Quinn

Great Customer Service.

Angie Brakefield

The best, hands down! Great prices, even great customer service. I could spend all day here! Marshall the owner is super trustworthy and knowledgeable.

Tiffany Moore

We've now been 3 times in this store and each time has been a great experience. Mike was super helpful setting me up with the right lens and made a quick exchange for what was right for me, no questions asked. Now I'm super happy with what I have :) Will be saving some camera shopping for this place specifically on our next trip to Bozeman.

Rusty Squire

These guys know cameras better than anybody else in Montana.

Jake Culbertson

Just went today to get a quick fix on one of my lenses. It was a quick and easy experience. The staff is phenomenal and super friendly. I can't wait to stop by again here soon, hopefully to buy some near gear instead of a fix! They have a wide variety of gear, everything from camera bodies to lenses, to backpacks and all the stuff in between. Thank you guys!

C W Wines

Competitive prices and really appreciate the 1 on 1 assistance here.

Alex Baker

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Saved the day when I needed backup battery for camera.

Antonius Blomert

Great service and friendly atmosphere. I was looking for want turns out is hard to find item. Staff gave me good advice as to where I might find exactly what I was seeking and then asked me to hold while they did a quick search for me. A few minutes later they suggested an item that was in store stock that not only addressed my need but would also give me flexibility to do more. At a very reasonable price too!

Tristan Lorei

loved this camera shop! I came in with my cousin and sisters a week or so ago and everyone was super helpful. I came in with no intention of buying anything and just talked with the guys who worked there for a while until I was, very easily, sold a new lens. They had an incredible selection. I don't think I've ever seen a shop with old Pentax film lenses before. I bought one and was given very helpful information about the new lens and an old one I already owned. I wish I lived in Bozeman because I would love to apply to work at this camera shop. great staff and great selection. wish I could say I would return often but I live in Virginia! Thanks again

Brianna Braukmann

Wonderfully helpful staff and really nice selection of equipment!

Linda Schwerzler

These guys are awesome. The equipment I rented was great. The service was great. The counter person friendly. I even left my tripod mount on the camera and they paid to ship it to me. Highly recommend this company!

r kehler

Friendly knowledgeable staff with everything you could ask for in a camera shop. Love these guys!

Haley McKnight

I rented equipment for a documentary short film and my experience here was awesome! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They got me the right equipment at a great price and treated me like I'd been a customer forever. I'll be back!

Kenneth Lehman

Great camera shop! I was looking for a new Nikon D850, which is backordered with a multiple month wait at most of the big online retailers. On the recommendation of a friend, I called Bozeman Camera. They were very friendly and helpful and said they would likely have one for me in the near future. Well, a little over a week later they called and told me the camera was in and waiting for me. Fantastic! And the price was entirely competitive with the big online retailers out of New York. It was well worth the 1-1/2 hour drive to Bozeman to buy locally at Bozeman Camera. I highly recommend you check them out.

CJ Moll

Such a great company! I rented some gear from them for a shoot which ended up falling through and the didn’t charge me for the rental. I am so grateful for that and will definitely be buying my next camera from them!

Braeden Roesler

Reasonable rental rates, 1 day rentals, and tons of gear!

Bangtail Bikes Bozeman

Bozeman Camera is such a great asset to Bozeman, we have rented gear from them many times! Thanks for being there guys !

Guitar Solid

The owner was awesome! I bought my first dslr. Great experience!

Bob Brown

Excellent service from this company. Must THANK Conner for his excellent service. Tourist on holiday in USA from England. Sigma lens broke. News lens from Bozeman dispatched to a future hotel, there on arrival - perfect :) Good price & excellent customer service. Much appreciatted & holiday photos obtained :)

Jim Bowen

I can't commend this store more highly. I went in there for advice, and they were very patient with me, as they talked me through stuff.

Bill O'Neill

Very knowledgable, helpful, patient, and affordable. This is the best camera shop I've ever visited. I love this place.

Rob Cunningham

Could be one of the last best photographic supply houses in the country. I was shocked at the in stock equipment. They have a huge huge selection of used equipment as well. You would expect to see a store like this in LA or NY, not bozeman. Overly impressed

Mike Allen

Best camera store I've ever been to, or dealt with. Great selection, tons of new and used stuff. Staff is really helpful and knows a ton. Went in to buy a bag, was able to bring in my test out fits between brands. No pressure, no hassle. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Jesslyn Marie

By far my favorite, local camera shop. Everyone there is super knowledgeable, friendly, and more than happy to share their experiences and recommendations. Rental prices are reasonable and the items are great quality. I've purchased my most recent camera body and lenses through them, and all are still working perfectly. I've never had a bad experience here, and the welcoming committee, Sage (aka: the owner's dog), is always a highlight of my visits. You're truly missing out if you aren't shopping here!

Astrid Beanie

Super friendly staff and good knowledge. Was able to test some advised lenses on my camera. Absolutely not pushy for sales. Def recommend them!

Jose Rosas

Very knowledgeable staff!! Super friendly:)
