"Purchased a Canon S100 from these guys because they had the best price at the time. The delivery was speedy and packaging was excellent. They even included a bonus gift of LCD protectors which was a pleasant surprise. Their response to my email inquiries were prompt and helpful. I would definitely order from these guys again."

"I purchased $5,000 of film equipment from thee guys last month. I have been very happy with the equipment, but was not happy with the high-pressure upsell I was given by the salesman, Jack. He told me that I would be able to return any of the products I was sold, but as it turned out, this was not possible. I wrote them an email, and they took care of me.

If I do shop with them again, I will be sure to be careful not to get baited into any upsell schemes. Other than that, 42photo is a very good merchant.

"My almost new Sony camera was stolen in Africa and I was able to buy the same camera from 42nd St. Photo at a lower price. The process was easy, the camera arrived promptly and in perfect shape, and the transaction was as good as e-commerce gets."

"Cheapest price I could find for the Fuji X100 so I gave them a try. Order shipped the next day and arrived within a few days. Easy to deal with, fast free secure shipping, they even called and asked if I wanted the package to be left at the door or signed for, which is nice when you're buying expensive equipment. Great store, I would definitely buy from them again."

"I've done business with 42nd Street Photo for many, many years. They offer good products at reasonable prices. The only caveat is beware the high-pressure upsale. If you know that going in, and if you know how to say, "NO," you'll be fine.

Example: I purchased a Canon G1 X. While awaiting delivery, I downloaded the owners manual from the Canon website so as to familiarize myself with the camera, its functions, and what I needed to support the purchase. Canon recommended a Class 6 memory card for the HD video function, which I then purchased for around $15 or so (8GB) while the camera was en route. I received a call from 42nd trying to get sell me an 8GB super-duper, hyper-fast card that they claimed I simpy HAD to have for the video function. When I told the caller I already had an 8GB Class 6, he kept trying to tell me that the "Class" didn't mean anything, and that I really needed their card, which he was going to give me for a "discounted" $100+.

I finally just told the caller that I was going to use the camera strictly for photography (which I am), and that I really neither needed nor wanted his phenomenally fast (and vastly overpriced) memory card.

Other than that, my experience with 42nd Street was great. Canon G1 X arrived in great shape with all accessories (plus some that 42nd Street threw in for free) in the timeframe promised.
