"I've ordered a FujiFilm Finepix S5000 camera with accessories from 17th Street Photo. There were a couple of vendors with lower prices, but none of them shipped internationally. I received my camera with all accessories within 5 working days in Cape Town, South Africa. The people at 17th Street Photo was very quick with responses to queries that I had and the ordering process went without a glitch. I can strongly recommend this reseller to anybody and I will most certainly buy from them again."
"I purchased a lens from them and had it in hand within 3 days. Excellent service."
"made small purchase via ebay, great deal-will definitely be buying from these guys again."
"Purchased my Pentax Optio 33L from 17th Street directly from the store; small store, but well stocked and professional.
They had the best price available on the camera, and purchase transaction went quickly and smoothly- very good store to deal with."
"After I wrote this review... they have since contacted me and have prorated the extended warrantee and have made an effort to correct the error for me... So I am changing my opinion of them and want everyone to know that they have made an effort to make the situation right for me. Thanks again to them.... the following is the review I did before they made an effort to correct the situation...I purchased a Minolta digital camera after finding this company ont the internet... I then called them to place the order. The person whom I talked to asked if I would like to purchase the extended warrantee... I said yes. I love the camera but it has a major problem. I sent it into Minolta. they inform me that my one yr warrantee is about to expire.. I told them I paid for the extended warrantee. They said to contact the seller. I did.. they claim they sent a card in the box that the warrantee is through a different company. number one.. I was lead to believe the warrantee was through minolta. I did not receive any other warrantee card. they charged me on the invoice. they say it is too late I should have complained sooner. I did not know sooner. I just found out that Minolta did not show I had purchased an extended warrantee. I have the invoice. I am new at this... I have been burned ... I not only dont have the five year extended warrantee I paid for. They will not refund the money they charged for it. If there had of been a card in the box I would have sent it in when I got it. I did not know the card was missing until I sent the camera to Minolta for repairs. The camera is wonderful... it just needs to be fixed... the problem with this retailer is not wonderful."
"You can't go wrong buying from 17th street they are the best and I have bought from many photo stores. "
"They sent me a quote with $300.00 shipping (for 1 camera and 2 lenses). Since they do not take CC payments's for more than $1000.00, they want to charge me an additional @20.00 banking fees (on top of my banking fees for wire transfer).
Ripp off alert!"
"I actually had two separate orders, both very good. I ordered a Sigma 50-500 EX APO HSM Lens and the Canon EX550 Speedlite. Good price on both items. Both shipped and arrived on time. I highly recommend this reseller."
"Fast verification and shipping! Product was as described. Very smooth transaction."
"Highly recommended. Good prices and very fast shipping. No high pressure, just good honest service."
"I have ordered several times from this company with great service and customer service every time. Would tell anyone to purchase from this company."
"I ordered a Canon 420EX and TC-DC58N Teleconverter to go with the G3 I purchased from them in August. Once again, excelent service. Order shipped same day, and arrived on time."
"Looking for a new Canon G3 I discovered that 17th Street Photo had the best walk in price for the NYC area. I had a little trouble finding the store since there were n signs outside of the building. Once inside it was easy to find, and that's when I was very pleasantly surprised. I was helped immediately. The salesman seemed to know everything about the G3, had a brand new pulled from stock (2 minute wait) and asked if I needed accessories, extended warentees, etc. When I stated I had no interest, no more was mentioned on the subject. The sale completion was very quick and everyone was polite. I was in and out in about 10 minutes total. I will be using them again and again. Newt time I'll try their mail order service and save on the sales tax."
"These guys are very professional and genuine. I placed an order for a Canon G3 digital camera from outside the US, but there was no problem in processing my order. There was no attempt to sell me anything else other than what I ordered, and it WAS in stock. The only point that lets them down is that the online order tracking is not updated often enough (or at all?) - I had to phone them 5 days after placing the order to ask why their on line system still showed it as "in Process". I was told that the order had in fact been shipped 2 days earlier and was given the fed-ex tracking ref. there and then. The camera arrived safely, was unopened and had a US warranty."
"I have been burned by NY dealers before so I was a little skeptical about using one again, but these guys are AWESOME!!!!! ordered a lense from them it arrived sooner than I expected and in perfect shape. I would highly recommend these guys!"
