Fullerton Cameras

Super chill store always has what you need in stock and the owner is a real nice guy highly recommend coming here for all your photography needs

About 7 years ago I purchased my 1959 Canon 7 RangeFinder w/ a Canon 50mm F0.95 lens from here. Till this day this camera store has been my all time favorite. The gentleman who owns the place and sold me the camera was always honest and fair. I appreciate someone who knows what they are talking about and cares to exchange knowledge with someone else who cares to listen. I will be back again!

I’m a NYC based wedding photographer who was in the OC area to be a guest at my brother in law’s wedding. The day before, his photographer cancelled, so I volunteered to step up and cover it for them. Unfortunately, I didn’t travel with any of my gear except for a 35mm camera, and I had less than 24 hours to get everything I needed together to shoot. I found Fullerton Camera and showed up at 10am Friday without calling first, with a gear list in hand. The owner, Mike, took great care of me and I left within fifteen minutes with everything I needed at a stellar price.

If you need to do a quick, efficient rental, this is the place to do it. I couldn’t be happier with the ease and the quality of the gear and I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was.

Thank you Mike for such a great experience!

Called to schedule a private lesson, and was turned down due to "COVID" seriously at this point? Vaccines and masks don't work?

Came here to sell some camera equipment about a week ago. A Sony a6300 with a 50mm lens and a Minolta film camera. Walked in and the guy helping me, not sure his name greeted me very unenthusiastically and looked at me as though I were bothering him when I brought my stuff up to the counter. He over dramatically inspected the camera equipment, and by over dramatically I don’t mean over inspected.it was the way he did it, acting as though he were on a serious photo shoot with the way he was holding the camera and everything. Anyway, I also tried to make things less awkward with a little small talk and said “this is a cool little shop, I never heard of you guys until today”, to which I was completely ignored.
Then he tells me he can’t take my sony because there were a few little specs on the sensor which he couldn’t clean off. He offered me $50 for the Minolta, which I took. And $130 for my lens (which I was quoted $170 for from keh). Went back to my car but decided to go back in and ask the guy if there’s ANYTHING he can offer me for the a6300. To which he replied, that the spots on the sensor would mean spots in the photos so he can’t offer me anything.

I may be young, but I have been a photographer for almost 15years and I know that the spots produced from that sensor would be barely noticeable in photos, especially because I never noticed them myself.

Look I am not mad at the fact that he didn’t offer me anything because honestly I get it, although I do believe he could have bought it from me at a cheaper price and sold it as used in “fair” condition.but that’s besides the point. It was the unfriendly attitude of the guy and the way he acted as though my camera was complete junk and unusable because of the spots on the sensor.
In the end though I ended up selling my camera equipment for around $550 elsewhere and I will never return to this place again to even buy other camera equipment.

I called looking for parts or maybe a direction to go in to find what I was looking for. The female I spoke with was rude and extremely short with me. Maybe I asked the wrong questions.

Needed a quick plate that wasn’t crazy expensive. Picked one up for $30. Very fair price especially for being able to walk in and out in less than 5 mins

When I called and I told them the brand of cameras to sell they said bring it in. When I went there they didn’t buy any of them. That’s poor customer service and communication.

I've been renting equipment from them for about 4 to 5 years and was disappointed. The staff is very knowledgeable and ready to share their experience with the abundance of toys you might be thinking to rent. They also have a Huge used department. It was a Blessing to know I can rent camera equipment for a job and not worry if it's going to break down in the middle of a shoot. Thank you Fullerton Camera for being there when I started my photography business! I recommend with 5 Stars!

Three words: Best Camera Store

After going there today at Jun 9,2020 to get my UV Filter removed from my Sony A6000 Camera they would remove it quickly with no damage to my lense in the process of removing the UV Filter. In addition the person working there would be very kind and helpful. Highly suggest anyone to go here. In addition the UV Filter removal was $10 which was pretty cheap as I thought it was going to be initally really expensive just to remove it. In addition they a lot of accessories for cameras which a plus for those who are looking for accessories for their camera.

Will definitely be returning back in the future.

This is the place to go for your camera and camera accessories. I called and asked about a charger and new battery for my Nikon. When I arrived, it was already waiting for me at the front counter. I will be buying everything from this local gem — and you should too — so that it stays in business forever. Street parking can be tricky. But this is Fullerton. 2 hours free should be more than enough unless you’re buying all their inventory. 10/10 would go again.

Claims they buy used camera's yet doesn't buy basically brand new Olympus OMD models for some reason? Store clerk had an annoyingly rude attitude when i even opened my camera bag to show him what i was trying to sell. Definitely not a place to go for ALL your camera needs wouldn't recommend based on the store clerk alone.

Took advantage of my wife who does not know much about lenses. Sold her a used 50mm Minolta lens for $150 dollars that is worth $25 if that. Will not be back to get ripped off.

I took my Canon 80d, the sensor was dirty, friendly staff, great customer service, good prices, it was my first time, no doubt I’ll be going back if I need anything else. Thank you very much.

Great experience! Alexia was so helpful and knowledgeable. She is the reason we will shop there again.

I rented a 4K Sony Video camera and found out it being saved into HD and quality turn out poor. The video I shoot was for home shopping network. Now I can't use any of the video. I told one of the employee there that the video is exported as HD and grainy. His answer was "may be you are shooting in low light", I said my environment was bright and check the setting to see if there is some adjustments, but I didn't see much options. At the end of this. He said " Thank you and you all set", basically did not offer any suggestion or may be show any concern on how to use the camera. Long story short, it didn't seem he know his equipment at all. This makes me not rent there again.

Never knew this place existed! My co workers showed me this place. Super happy it’s close to me. Mike is the owner, very friendly and informational. So is Lexi (I believe that’s her name). Prices are good. I had my lenses cleaned, and they had in stock for some parts I needed. He also fixed my bent lense and included that in the price. I really appreciate it, as doing a full repair is around 140.00. Thank you so much, I will be returning, and will definitely refer some friends. Thanks!

One stop shop for photographers. I just had medium format processed and scanned and picked up an old Leica they repaired. They get to know you and greet you by name when you walk in. I love Fullerton Cameras

Initially went to this place based off reviews.

Called the day before an international trip and spoke to Mike. Told him what I wanted and he quickly gave me the options he had in stock.

Came in that same afternoon and was greeted by Mike (the owner) after walking in. I wanted a full frame camera, and am a beginner in the realm of advanced photography. He was extremely patient with me and all the questions I had. Eventually I decided on a Nikon D750.

He was nice enough to bundle a few things in with my purchase since I got the camera and a couple lenses with it.

I came out with a great deal and fully set up for my trip. He sells some used cameras, which is great for people getting into photography. It’s also warrantied for 90 days!

One thing I don’t take for granted is the ever so diminishing small business owner who provide great service. I feel I got a great deal along with amazing service, which you probably won’t get with major retailers and definitely not online stores.

I will continue to give Mike my business for photography and have already been recommending this store to a few friends.
