"Great prices--competitive with any of the big stores like B&H, Adorama, etc...
Customer service is awesome, on par with, if not better than B&H.
Ordering was very easy, phone staff was very helpful.
Shipping was fast and S/H rates are very fair.
I highly recommend pictureline.com."
" Very reliable and honest merchant. They were one of the first to have the Canon 5D Mark II and I find this is often the case. While buyers await the arrival of new cameras at many of the big Eastern Photo Stores, Pictureline often has the cameras available before these stores do. They have a good notification system and I was able to call and order this hard to get camera. While many merchants have long preorder lists, Pictureline has a great notification system which is both fair and insures that they only sell as many cameras as they actually have rather than lining up preorders that can't be filled for months. They are simply the best Professional Camera shop in the West. I am a professional wildlife photographer and am choosy about where I buy my equipment."
"Unfortunately, I cannot give pictureline a positive review. Pictureline.com had a great price on an item i was looking for so I couldn't wait to make the order. I placed the order midday Friday. This was a time sensitive order for my son's birthday. Pictureline did not notify me until Monday that the item was out of stock. Their website obviously was not up to date either. I would not have known that the item was not available if i had not called them. On the call they said they would check with the manufacturer to see if they could get the product and the email or call me. I received no call and in fact had to call Pictureline to see what the deal was. They could not get the item. So at least 3 valuable shipping days were lost because of the lack of comunication and miscommunication on their website. I am disappointed with there service."
"Very prompt shipping, great packaging, good communications of status of my order."
"excellent service, I was waiting for this new canon printer to come out, ip4600, they had it availible, I spoke to Sharon who was very friendly and professional, had it ordered, and it was on my doorstep in 4 days including the weekend. I will be shopping with pictureline in the future!!!"
"This place has to be one of the best-kept secrets on the internet. I called on Friday to ensure the hard-to-find Nikon 70-200mm VR was really in stock. It was, I placed the order. Quick and painless. On Monday I get a voice mail saying they wanted to confirm my order. I thought uh-oh, hard sell ahead. Nope, they wanted to confirm my phone number to prevent credit card fraud and the order was going out today. I received my lens on Friday. Nothing to it!"
"I placed my order with pictureline.com later in the day on December seventeenth. Pictureline emailed me on the eighteenth to inform me had the order processed and provided me the shipping/tracking number. I received my purchase on the twentieth.
My purchase arrived packaged very well and everything purchased was found to be in excellent condition.
Pictureline.com prices are quite competitive (Very Good!) as are the shipping rates. They have a good inventory of items geared to the needs of photographers and many items are in stock.
The web site is well done, safe and easy to use. The ability to click on more than one item at a time to add to the shopping care would be the only thing I might want to ask for, this is not a problem just slightly slows down the shopping experience. The search for items on the pictureline.com site is quick and gets you to where you need to be with ease!
Overall, the experience from start to finish was great! I am very happy to have found a new source for my photographic needs and look forward to future shopping at pictureline.com!"

Best service ever.. keep up the good work. Sincerely, Filemon Torres Los Angeles, CA"
"Pictureline is quite simply the best online retailer I have ever worked with. With competitive prices and stellar customer service, Pictureline has earned my respect and continued business.
I purchased a digital camera from Pictureline, shortly before leaving on a trip to Israel. The camera arrived on time and in excellent condition. I was dismayed, however, when less than a week after I purchased it the camera stopped working. The camera company was rather unhelpful, so I turned to Pictureline for help.
I was amazed at the quality of the customer service I received from Pictureline. Not only did they arrange for me to receive a replacement camera (which has worked wonderfully), Pictureline was flexible and considerate through the whole process, working with me even when I was out of the country.
Never before have I experienced the level of customer service that I have enjoyed with Pictureline."
"In preparation for a major adventure trip (with a major photography component)I purchased a Canon S3. To make use of filters, I needed a lens adapter and hood set LAH-DC20. I needed it quickly, for my trip begins on 3 August. On 30 July I placed an order with Amazon w/ overnight shipping. They showed the item to be in stock. On the morning of 1 August (the expected delivery date)I expected to to find a tracking number. What I found was a revised delivery date of 3 August. I cancelled the order. I found pictureline.com. They showed the LAH-DC20 in stock. I needed to be certain so I gave them a call. I reached them before their business hours (they're Mountain, I'm Eastern) so I left a message. Less than 10 minutes into their business day, they returned my call. They confirmed for me their stock status, and assured same day processing plus overnight shipping. The young lady I spoke with said she would pull one of the items I needed and set it aside for me. Moments ago the the item arrived at my office (2 August, ~9:00 AM). This is my first experience with pictureline. I give them extremely high marks for customer service. Thank you pictureline!"
"I ordered on-line a Tenba Shootout Backpack from this company late on Friday. The order was immediately shipped on Monday, I received email advising shipper's tracking number and it arrived promptly as advised by the Services rep. The backpack came in as advertised, well packaged and handled.
Their on-line order program was easy to follow and and I was able to track my order as needed.
I am very satisfied with this vendor and would recommend for future purchases."
"I was looking for an accessory for my digital camera, and Pictureline made my search extremely easy. My item was in stock and at a very reasonable price, compared to the other stores I looked at. Also, the shipping was fast and affordable. I would highly recommend Pictureline to anyone I know. "
"I ordered a Canon Powershot S5 IS from Pictureline on June 26th. I am a professional photographer and I decided it was about time to purchase my first point-and-shoot digital camera. I waffled between this model and the Leica V-Lux 1 for a while and I had a few questions that I needed answered before I pulled the trigger.
The customer service at Pictureline is second to none among internet photographic retailers. All of my questions were answered honestly and knowledgeably. These folks don't just sell cameras, they use and understand the products they sell. After receiving two lengthy and informative emails from customer service, I went with the Canon.
I ordered the unit late at night on the 26th of June and was hoping to have it in-hand by the 28th as I was taking a trip and wanted to bring it along. I needn't have worried- my order was processed the morning of the 27th and the unit shipped immediately. I paid for overnight shipping and had my camera by 10:00 a.m. on June 28th. Every other internet camera retailer I have dealt with took at least 24 hours to process my order. Pictureline had my camera out the door in under 13 hours from the time I placed my order. The camera arrived in perfect condition and was packed extremely well.
Pictureline doesn't have the huge selection of an Adorama or a B&H, but their product line is of the highest quality and the buying experience is everything you ever hoped for from an online store. From the great staff to the prompt shipping to the competitive pricing, you cannot go wrong with this place. I cannot recommend Pictureline highly enough."
"I purchased a Nikon D50 from them and their shipping was fast (and free). Their support was also helpful and responded quickly. Highly recommended."
"Quality customer service start to finish. Very competitive pricing. Dependable and pleasant to deal with. You can purchase from them with confidence. "
