I was treated so badly by the server that I walked out. The server treated me like I was stupid, and completely missed the opportunity of a sale. I had a $1000 budget to buy a DSLR camera, and I asked what they would recommend for my needs which I listed. I came in with an idea of what I wanted with a camera that I got off the Olympus website that I knew would do everything I needed for $700. I... more

"Shop locally and support you community" it is the slogan on Camera Broadway web page but how can we do that if they have the worst costumer services all around the world.
people here are rude and hostile, I ask for a sony lens and they told me. "as you can see we are sold out on sony lenses"
me: ok can you please tell me when are you going to have the lens?
cb: we don´t know and we don´t have... more

Solid 3.5 stars, it's always a pleasure going to specialty stores for their knowledge.

Asked Sam the best compact SLR, and showed a Nikon model for $750, on sale with savings of $140; detachable back screen with WIFI even, now that's getting pics straight from there to here for Yelp, pretty handy for a prolific picture-taker like myself.

Strange they accept Union Pay but not Amex, similar... more

First went to this shop a few years ago bought a Sigma lens with 5 years warranty that had a defective focusing mechanism. First I visited the Broadway location where I originally bought the lens and was told by the sales rep that I would have to pay for the shipment to get it fix with no guarantee that it would be a defective. Basically they used the term "user error" as in I'm at fault of the... more

I had been wanting to check out Broadway Camera for some time. As I had a B&W roll of Medium Format that needed developing I went out of my way instead of going to my usual spot which is further away and thought I could combine my visit to the store with "dropping off a film." Hello stupid. The store doesn't "handle" film. "No we don't do that." So I walked out straight. I guess they only cater... more

My goodness. I'm with Eric B. on this one. I've been here before, but have never experienced such poor customer service. Being the *only* customer in the store, I am surprised with the lazy and loathsome attitude I was met with in the form of Carven. At this point, I'm ready to tell my husband to return his gift because it only reminds me of this awful experience.

Awesome customer service experience today at Broadway Camera that has made me want to recommend them to everyone and to thank & praise Robert for the fast, friendly help.

Brought in a 1-day old D5200 with dust-on-sensor issue causing a visible blotch on photos. This is my girlfriend's first DSLR finally bought after half a year of deliberation over makes and models and comes from seriously... more

I went to broadway camera to look at slur cameras. I went in not knowing if I should be looking at nikons or canons as both have great features.
I spoke with a salesperson for a long time and he ended up helping me select the best camera for my needs and skill level. The price was a bit more than a other places, but the service was great and I felt like all of my questions were answered.

Great selection of camera and the staffs were helpful in helping me selecting a product that I need. The price was good as well. I got a package deal including canon t4i, lens, camera bag, sd card for 600. Good Deal!

Broadway camera has a wide selection of everything at competitive prices. You need something, you'll find it there pretty much ''for-sure''. Yes, that is a fact. I tried spending time searching at other stores, searching for certain things at those other camera places in Vancouver but it is hard to find things here, or certain things there but Broadway Camera always has everything and always... more

Great selection of pro and almost-pro equipment, solid after-sales support.

I was missing one of the feet for my tripod 3 weeks after buying it. I expected to be charged for a replacement (especially because I didn't have my receipt), but they did me a solid by calling their warehouse and dropping one off. My tripod is as good as new.

Because they have a lot of equipment on site, you can be... more

I was looking for a new compact camera (between a point and shoot and a dSLR) and I read some positive reviews from her about Broadway Camera so I thought I would give it a try.

I was deciding between a Canon G12 and a Nikon P7100 so when I asked the salesperson, he immediately told me to get the Nikon. I felt like he knew what he was talking about and was no-nonsense about it.

Around 1.5... more

You'll find Leica M cameras, lots of professional quality tripods, and Canon and Nikon DSLR, lenses and accessories. It's less busy than the Richmond Lansdowne Mall location and there are more items that are in stock for this Broadway location.

Most of the staff are more knowledge with cameras and lenses than most big box stores.

We came to Broadway Camera for our first DSLR purchase and I was really impressed. Not being that knowledgeable, we didn't want to rely on some pimply-faced kid in a general electronics store, we wanted good, balanced advice and we got it from Carven Wong, who clearly loves what he does and knows a lot about how the different cameras perform. He gave us options, but didn't try to push us on any... more

i would so much rather give my business to a small store than support the giant corporate electronics places, like best buy and future shop. i own a small business myself and i know how hard it is to survive against the mega stores. so when i was heading to the galapagos and wanted an underwater camera, i skipped the big guys and came here.

the fellow who helped me couldn't have been nicer. he... more

Great camera store! Not rating it against others (because all camera stores I've been to in Vancouver have been great)... because it's convenient for me, I come to Broadway quite a lot... and the staff have always been extremely knowledgeable and helpful!

What an awesome Camera Store! I was up in Vancouver last week for my cousins wedding and decided to stop in here. Very very cool. It had so much camera stuff I could have spent hours in here but since I had my family with me, I was rushed and had to leave after 10 minutes. I come up to Vancouver at least once or twice a year so I will be coming back next time I'm in town. I think you guys have... more

They have the best prices for flash cards in town. They were also the first photo shop to move to US equivalent pricing when the CD was on par and have stayed lower than prices in other shops. Good selection of products, knowledgeable Canon and Nikon staff.

They have another store in Richmond so if something is not there they will bring it over from the other store overnight.

after much research online, i decided to come here to buy my very first dlsr. my original plan was to buy the camera body here at broadway camera, and then get the lens over at another store - it was cheaper over there. after talking to henry (one of the guys who work here) for a bit - he knew exactly what i was planning and called me out on it. what's more amazing is that he knew exactly where... more
