Reviews of Kamloops Camera House Ltd (Photo Studio)

Evan Groves

Very knowledgable and willing to help. If you have any questions, they will be answered here. Honest business, left a Nikon lens to be fixed, it was beyond repair and he didn't charge me for the time. Will always shop here, great guy and great business!

These guys really to care about their customers. Earlier tonight I called the Kamloops Camera House to see if they had parts for my Manfrotto tripod, and I told them I had to do a video shoot for a client later in the evening but I had lost or misplaced the part that holds the video camera on the tripod. Even though it was a few minutes until closing, Barry told me to grab my tripod, hop in the car and come down to the store because he would stay behind and do his best to help me. When I got there he told me I had an older tripod and that the parts were not readily available for that particular model. But what he did - and this blew me away - was he said he had a tripod similar to that somewhere in the store and he wondered if I wanted to wait while he looked for it. When he came back he produced an exact replica of the tripod piece I was missing, and rather than sell the whole tripod to me, he simply sold me the piece I was looking for. Not only that, but he tightened the screws on my tripod and even came up with a few other pieces I was missing. Barry saved the day for me and it wasn't until we were almost done that I discovered he was the owner of the store. To me, he really does care about customers! And I will come back to him from now on forever based on my experience with him. While other people talk a big game about customer service, Barry and his people live it. Even though I was looking for tripod parts for my video recorder, I will come back for all my camera needs too. He won me over with his act of generosity relative to his time (he stayed well past closing time) and his willingness to make me look good for a client in my own business. This guy is my hero. He knew I was in a jam and he came through in spades. I absolutely recommend Barry and the Kamloops Camera House!

Was driving through town towards Jasper, and was lucky to find a charge battery for my Canon rebel at a great price.

I dropped into Kamloops Camera House today to get an old 8x10 family photo scanned, restored, and to have copies made for my family. I'm from out-of-town, and Kamloops Camera House was recommended to me by another local business. I sat with the owner, Barry Prost, while he scanned and restored the photo, and chatted pleasantly with him while he worked. I'm extremely happy with the end result and the value for my money. Barry spoke about how he enjoys coming to work every day, and it showed over the course of our interaction. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I also waited and watched him interact with another customer who had brought a garage-sale digital camera in for a quick repair job. Barry explained the issue in detail, adjusted what he could for the gentlemen, then sent him away as a very happy customer. Overall, I was very impressed with how Barry handled my order, and how he dealt with the other customer. I would not hesitate to give him my business again.

Best camera store I town for sure, the owner doesn't just sells you the camera, he also tells you how to use it and the story and history behind it. I'll come back for sure ! -William

Always know exactly what I need and have it on hand. No judgement for me having no clue what I'm talking about half the time. Super willing to chat and share information. Top notch store!

The dude is honest and straight up, he's helpful. He won't try and sell you on more than you need and may even cut you a deal if you're straight with him and are buying a few things. Strongly recommend you stop in take a look. He also develops black and white film cheaper than anywhere else I could find.

Barry is the man!

Great service

If you need any help with camera equipment this is the place to go. Berry fixed my projector when other places couldn't help. He is so helpful and at the moment he is organizing getting my 8mm tapes transferred to a memory stick. Only place in town that can do this. Thanks Berry. Jane
