Cool camera store. We went there because my daughter is a photography major at UNT. They had everything she needed and the staff was super helpful. Bonus for me, Joy Division was playing while we were there. Also, they rent lenses, cameras, and other photography equipment. They also have a lot of used photography equipment for sale.

Really great experience with Daniel Lockwood. Explained more than enough about products and seemed to be very knowledgeable about all the products supplied in the store. He took his time and was patient. I will definitely come back and ask for him again whenever I shop for cameras or lenses.

1 star because negative stars is not a given option, I needed to rent a camera for my son's school project and was told I could rent online and my son could pick it up as long as he had valid ID since I am homebound and not able to go into

I recently had the pleasure of working with Courtney at Camera Exchange, and let me tell you, she is an absolute rockstar! Not only was she super knowledgeable and helpful, but she was also incredibly patient and understanding - which is a

Customer service is totally non-existent. I waited 20 minutes while 4 staff members waited on the same 3 customers. I kept thinking that when the 4th employee was freed up from helping the other employee with a customer, they would FINALLY

Very strange place. I've placed an order online twice. I called a couple of times to verify why my orders were canceled. They told me that the company which processes payments rejected my order, for no reason. Nobody tried to help to place

I was really hoping to have found a place to go to get solid camera information and expertise, but that is not what I found with sales rep 193. I had gone in with several questions, and he was courteous and professional, and also helped

My first experience with The Camera Exchange has been amazing to say the least. At first, I was a little bit skeptical buying a used lens from a store I was not familiar with. The experience was flawless: shipping was free, fast, well

I am absolutely the last person my company should send to pick up or rent camera equipment, but the team at Camera Exchange, especially in rentals was amazingly helpful and patient. It was clear I did not know what I needed, but they

This place is ok. Yes they have all the gear you need and there prices are high, that's cause they are high value products. But when you want to sell your gear they will low ball you really low even though you have high value
