"The purchase of a Pentax spotting scope went smooth as silk. I decided to call the store instead of purchasing online just to avoid any possible confusion. The order was taken by Dov and the process couldn't have been any smoother. I indicated what I wanted and he took the rest of my information to complete the purchase. Not pressure, no fuss. Dov was polite and didn't push me on any other frills. To top it all off, the scope got to Texas from New York in two days. Sweet.
If their price comes down a bit on a Canon 20D, I'll be looking to buy from them again in the near future."
"There are a lot of hustlers in the photo business, but this is not one of them. I'm very satisfied with all aspects of ordering from them."
"I purchased a Canon 420EX on 12/27/04. No pressure what so ever. Asked if 3-5 days on shipping was ok. I said it was. Thank you. Got the flash in 2 days. This is typical of what I have come to expect from 17th. Good company. No hassles for me. I recommend them.

"I called the guys via phone to make a reservation for a EOS 20D-Kit, so I could pick up the camera personally in the shop when I was visiting some very good friends in NJ over the holiday-season. (Euch beidne uff daem waeg nomol e herzliche dangg)
Everything went smooth, the camera was there and every single item I ordered was in the package.
After two days of testing, I noticed some dust inside the lens which blurred the pictures. So I went back to the shop. They exchanged the lens with no hesitation at all. I was very glad, they did it that way and didn't send it back to the manufacturer and let it clean there, because I live in Switzerland and just would not have that much time left.
Bottom line: I do recommend these guys to everyone I know. Fair prices and perfect customer service.
Best Regards

"I called and spoke to Dove at ext.212, and all I can say is I was impressed by his patience and helpfullness. What a great place to purchase, and what a great person to deal with. I misplaced my receipt, and he was so nice to fax me a new one. I would buy from them again in a hearbeat. Great price, service and experience."
"17th St. Photo will definitely be the 1st store I will look into for my future purchases. I ordered 2 items (Canon battery/batt charger) last Dec. 29, 2004 Wed.. I was set to receive this items by Jan. 3, 2005 as stated by Fedex 3 days. To my surprise, Dec. 31 around 1pm, my items arrived. I believe this came about because 17th St. Photo processed my orders ASAP and wasted no time for my packaged to be delivered during this holiday rush. Items were excellent.
My only regret is that I did not order the Canon Elura 65 camera from 17th St. Photo but with another online store. I ordered the camera even earlier Dec. 27 Monday (UPS 3 days) hoping I can use it New Year's eve. But shipment date per UPS site is still Jan. 3, 2005.
Next time, I will go all the way with 17th St. Photo."
"Amazingly quick shipping. The camera arrived far head of the stated delivery time.
Delivery and product prices were better than competitive. The item was absolutely new and untouched, and exactly what I ordered.
17th Street Photo far exceeded my high expectations."
"17th St Photo is fantastic, and is doing it right!! Great merchandise at reasonable prices, and no gimmicks. I bought several items totaling almost $2,000, with absolutely no problems. Everything was in stock, and as advertised. They have one of the best ratings on the web, and it’s well deserved. Buy with confidence from this retailer. I highly recommend them, and will use them again for my photographic needs. A++"
"17photo is one of the few online sellers I trust. I have bought few accessories for my CP8800 in two orders.
Service is excellent. few good points:
-Immediate order confirmation by email
-Not a single call from sales department to sell me MORE
-Excellent packaging
-Very fast Shipping (in my case on the same day)
Not a single call to customer service required. I highly recommend this re-seller

"Great store. I ordered a Canon 20D 17-85 kit and received the item two days later. The order process was smooth and the salesperson "Mark" was very helpful. Nothing special about the price.. however the customer service was excellent. I will definately do business with them again."
"17th Street Photo was fantastic. A very competitive price among the many online bargain centers. I chose 17th Street for their high customer ratings and was not disappointed. The order was promised in 7-10 business days and was delivered in 5! I would definately utilize this excellent retailer again!"
" I was in the market for a Canon lens.I looked on and offline shopping for prices.Local camera store prices were higher than online,on average by 10% to 15%.But then there are advantages to purchasing locally ie:imediate pick up,returns and repair.
You can find a decent price online at more than a few places.The hard part is finding a reputable dealer.After reading a few comments here a this site and on EBAY with there feedbacks.I wasnt to confident on making a purchase of a $1000 or more online.
Then I came accross 17th st Photo.The comments left here and on Ebay are all possitive.I even contacted members on EBay randomly who has made purchases from 17th st(on Ebay there store is called flashpiont cameras)and they all contacted me saying they had a great transaction.
After doing all my homework I decided to make a purchase from them at there auctions on Ebay.I was going to purchase a $1100 lens including shipping and saving $200 by buying online.I made a purchase on 11/7/04 wich was a sunday at approx 11pm.They mailed a confirmation on 11/8/04 with shipping information.My lens arrived on 11/9/04 at 1pm,item arrived exactly as advertised(new,USA model).This is from New York to Los Angeles in 38 hours!
I cannot give 17th st photo a higher recomendation.You will not be dissapointed!"
"I preordered a new Canon flash at a great price. Their shipment arrived as predicted and I reaceived the item today as advertised. I've ordered from this store before and they always give good service."
"Outstanding seller. I had a different mailing address then my billing address, so they called me back to verify. They did not pressure during the sell of my Canon 20D. I wanted second day shipping and I had the camera in my hands two days from when I ordered it. First time doing business with them, won't be my last."
"Excellent transaction. No hidden fees and zero hard sell for accessories. Packeged nicely and recieved on time. Would buy from again."
