The Used Camera Store

Service was excellent, Dustin is the man he will
Meet any of your used camera wants and desires. I highly recommend you stop by if, you have the chance.

This store is pretty awesome if you like to look at old cameras, talk about old cameras, etc. The selection is pretty vast. Sure, you can always score a deal on ebay if you’re willing to risk it and you know what you’re doing. But, this place is great if you want to see the camera first. Sure, they can’t test every camera with a roll of film etc. Imagine how fast that would put a store out of business. They also sell some vintage bike stuff but that’s kind of awesome. I get it. If you’re a fan of vintage machined instruments like cameras and bikes then you’ll probably get it too. The guy Dustin is super knowledgeable and a little eccentric. But who doesn’t want that in a vintage camera salesperson? I mean, you want to give him a Tom Waits style haircut and a set of steam punkish jewelers glasses, right? Anyway, again, once in a while you’re see a camera that you can probably score cheaper if you’re internet savvy, but this place is still a gem that deserves your support.

My first time there — visually it had a thrift store feel and it was smaller than I’d imagined — Dustin I believe helped me– there was a gal already there in the process of selling a camera … I was there to sell camera and lens … The guy that walked in after me was selling also–
Dustin was very pleasant and consistent with his offer of near 70% of the used value — I didn’t expect to get a good deal on a Saturday in January with 2 others selling as well–
I believe him when he said he averages the price that is pulled from the last 10 sold on eBay 70% is fair
I noticed they also had some great deals for buyers– I recommend and thank you

Awesome finds! Must check their ebay store often to get great up to the minute deals! Owner is really cool. Love being able to go into a camera store and be complete camera geek.

I first became familiar with this shop 20 + years ago when the current owner’s father ran the store. At that time there was a constantly changing supply of quality used equipment in stock at all times and the owner was very helpful. Fast forward to the present, and his hipster kid has combined used bicycles and cameras (???), and doesn’t seem to care about the camera business because the stock is a lot of third party junk lenses and broken and worn out bodies. But there are a number of hipster bikes (fixies, no gears). Add to that the crappy attitude and zero customer service that Dustin provides and it’s a wonder that he’s still in business. I understand that he sells most of the camera equipment on eBay under the handle moorevintage. Hummm, I wonder why he does that if he’s paying rent on a brick and mortar store. A look at the online inventory this afternoon at his eBay store shows little of interest. So if you aren’t in the market for a used bicycle I’d recommend that you give this little shop a pass.

The guy behind the counter could not care less that I walked in (I was the only person in the store). He was uninterested in answering questions. He made it known they only really deal with professionals. This place needs to take classes on interacting with people.

okay, so Samy’s Camera suggested i check it out. noticed there were very inconsistent reviews here, so i admit i did go in somewhat wary of the experience i might have, especially as a female.
yes, there is lots of great stuff in stock, but prices are totally inconsistent. as some other Unilocalers have stated, yes, they do sell stock on eBay, and yes, prices aren’t really firm.
so after chatting with the guy as best as i can, i can only call him Mr. Grumpy — after he ascertained i am not a professional, just a very curious amateur, he went to not really helpful. after asking some more questions politely, and throwing some shop talk in just to indicate that yes, i do know what i’m talking about, he became openly rude and said «Come back when you are professional and can actually afford a real camera.»
hello, this is a USED CAMERA STORE. name check, please.
if i could zero-​star this establishment, i would. shame, because yes there is some great equipment there.

This place just has a great selection of used photography equipment (not just Canon and Nikon) and I love it. I’ve found everything from the Hasselblad I use to even selling my 5d here. They have tons of 35 mm equipment here that is always priced fair as well. I’ve checked their prices with eBay completed auctions and they are pretty spot on at pricing things for the current market. This is a store you could go to 3 times in a week and find totally new items that come through here daily. Also, the best of their inventory is usually available on their eBay so you can use that to keep up to date then go in and look at the item during business hours, as long as it doesn’t sell. Dustin knows what he’s doing and obviously because this is one of the last used camera stores around.

Rip off. They sell broken things on eBay under the name moorevintage .
QUANTUM TURBO BATTERY w/​charger + (2) cable for sunpak 622. He sad all it needed it need is a new battery. Unit was blowing up inside full of rusty inside with a bad smell to it. The cables were all sticky. The charger was rusted also. Good photos not to actually show the rust to it.
There’s no way that they didn’t know this would not work. There an camera store they know what they’re selling.

Great selection of cameras, lenses, and equipment for reasonable prices. A lot of the stuff that this place carries, I’ve been looking for for a long time.
The owner is not pretentious at all and will educate you if you ask for it.
Definitely one of my favorite camera stores

Just bought my first DSLR about a month ago and had a bunch of questions including looking for a new lens.
Ended up picking Dustin’s brain for almost a half an hour. What was amazing is that he discouraged me from buying anything and recommended me to check in to find the ‘ideal’ lens that I desired. Great salesmanship putting my best interest in front of his sales.
Great people working here and the prices are competitive with online prices; they are an online store afterall.
As a matter of fact, probably gonna stop in today to see what they have going!

Brought my girlfriend in for the first time to purchase an old Canon AE-​Program. The models shown at this store were priced at $ 180…which is absurd. I was able him to lower the price to $ 150 (so be aware the prices are not firm.)
After mentioning how the same set up in excellent condition (better condition than the models we were shown) from
were going for roughly $ 100, the salesman’s tone changed dramatically. The very fact that I showed any sign of doing research on the matter struck this guy as an offense.
The worst part of the experience was that he finally, and repeatedly stated that he’s out to sell cameras to «college kids who don’t know about keh​.com» and that he’s trying to get a premium for old gear to those who just need a camera for school.
OC Camera in Mission Viejo had the exact same camera in far better condition for $ 100 as opposed to the $ 180 price here. I guess this is a warning to college kids… do your research and go elsewhere.

I have been a regular customer here for past 10 years. This is great place to buy used Camera and sell your unused gear. Of course they will give portion of what they can sell it, but you don’t have to worry about the hassles of dealing with Craigslist flakes and eBay troubles… I try to sell most items on Craigslist and eBay when it is easy to sell items, but for most everything else, it is much easier to unload and walk out of the store with cash in hand. Ask for Dustin and he will take care of you. I highly recommend this store.

My Canon SLR camera flash was stuck off and on after a vacation to Maui 2 years ago. I finally I took a shot and brought it here hoping someone would know how to fix it for me. David, the owner took a look at my camera and said he’ll try to fix it for me. He said he’d charge me $ 20 if he repairs it successfully, and no charge if he is unable to. He wrote me a receipt and I left my camera there with him for a few hours. Then David called me and let me know that he was able to repair it and it was ready to be picked up. I came back and David demonstrated that the flashed was functioning. He cleaned out the debris and oiled the flash hinge and told me that I shouldn’t have any more problems with the flash if I keep it from sand, moisture, and heat. And if I find the flash getting stuck again, he said I was welcome to bring it back in.
David said that he fixes mostly external problems with cameras, not internal stuff.
The shop has many used cameras & accessories. I’m definitely coming back to get additional lenses for my camera.

Terrific crew — always helpful…

Do not take your cameras here for repair. We dropped a couple of cameras off a month ago. After calling and going by in the few weeks after, just to find out that they hadn’t been fixed. My BF called 4 or 5 times this morning (evidently their opening time of 10:00 AM is also debatable), just to find out that the cameras haven’t even been fixed. The guy even had the nerve to be rude when asked when they would be done. We dropped them off a month ago… the least they could do is give us an indication of when they might be ready.
Oh, and their dusty, crappy selection of box cameras isn’t worth it anyway. Plus, they won’t acknowledge you when you walk in and stand in front of them for 20 minutes.
I literally can’t believe this place is still in business.

Review for the Used Camera Store:
If you have a computer and internet connection. First try Craiglist to sell your used camera gears. If that doesn’t work, why not create an ebay account and sell your equipment there? It’s very straightforward to do.
If you come to the Used Camera store, you basically give them money to sell your stuffs. And the $$ they give you will be significantly less than what they will be making on ebay.
Don’t give away $ and don’t get robbed by these guys like I did.

Review for Camera Store:
I came in looking for accessories and described what I wanted to do (light photos at home). The staff member on duty was a hipster looking guy but very knowledgeable and was able to explain and show me multiple set ups for lighting and how it might benefit me. I bought a set of lights for $ 8 a piece to try out but I will be back for more flash attachments. Everything they showed me was inexpensive compared to purchasing new.
If you’re looking for used gear that works, Point and shoot cameras, old fashioned cameras, Polaroid cameras, or fancy fixies check this place out. I really had a good shopping experience here.

Review of the camera store only:
Feels great to be around such vintage camera gear and accessories. Came in here just to browse to see what they had to offer and ended up walking out with a nice vintage camera case from the 90’s to store all my lenses/​flashes when I travel.
Great prices too. Always give you about market value (in between an ebay and a craigslist) for the lenses + other newer gear. Service was great and didn’t feel pressured about anything. Just a little bit on the small side and lacking some gear but would be worth your time to come in and browse since the inventory changes almost weekly.

walked into here the other day and i’ve got to say he has stepped up his game. Quality bikes stand where the cheaper conversions used to be.
he has started to sell the cheapo $ 200 dollar micargis that everyone has but at least its a real «track» setup. Has plenty of parts for bikes, looks like hes doing good! glad to see it on the right track!
STILL a lot of camera stuff i cannot comment about since i really have no interest in vintage camera setups!
