Action Camera

Happiest place on earth! I would travel twice as far to go here, the customer service is outstanding and everybody is so friendly!

Actio folks aren’t just cashiers, they can answer basic to very advanced questions with courtesy and personal knowledge. Good selection and reasonable prices .Me? Disposable camera type. My beloved? Part time professional. Action serves us both
For price sensitive shoppers-Action’s price points are comparable ESPECIALLY factoring in exemplary personal service, professional recommendations, and hands on evaluation of the merchandise. No return shipping problems, non responsiveness to emails, misadvertising issues with Action.
Of note-​affordable classes for all skill levels and interests are offered. A tip, for about $ 30,00 more than a group class, you can have a one on one class, highly recommended.
We really like and shop at Action. And this comes from retired– living on a budget– price sensitive– Prime shoppers.

OMG, if you need camera equipment you have got to go to Action! I did a lot of research, cost comparisons, went to a few other camera shops (not box stores) and whatever i bought, I took it all back. Just didn’t feel right with me, I wasn’t happy with the camera, the lens and the people at the «other» camera stores. I came across Action Camera yesterday online shopping for local shops and thought I’d try them out. Went in, browsed to see what the atmosphere was like. Amazing service, people had knowledge, they weren’t pushing sales, they were talking to you, giving you advice, helping you decide, no pressure sales… I worked with Rebecca. She is great. I purchased a Sony a6000 with 18−50mm lens and a SanDisk that wasn’t the most expensive but what was recommended by her for what I needed. Came home, tried it out, LOVE IT. She mentioned KEH was going to be at shop today when I said now I don’t know what to do with my D5000, they buy used equipment. NO WAY! Yes, way… so I went today. Was happy with the offer from KEH and got another lens, a bag, and a few more fun things, again worked with Rebecca who recognized me immediately when I walked in, yeah that might be a little thing to you. but I’ve gone into a store the next day and they didn’t have a clue who I was. got home, had a few questions about settings, called her. She was pleasant, knew EXACTLY what I had to change in my camera and we talked a bit about photography clubs etc. Useful, knowledgeable, pleasant, not pushy, everyone in Action have smiles when you walk in. Definitely my camera store! THANK YOU Action Camera!

This place is amazing! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! I brought my camera in because I thought it was broke. Turns out it was just dirty and they cleaned it for FREE! Plus gave me a few quick tips! Highly recommend Action Camera!!!

I needed to get supplies on the fly last week and heard about this place. They have a lot to offer and they are really friendly. I ended up spending more time and buying more than I planned. It’s nice to still be able to venture into a business and talk, touch, and feel. That’s something you don’t get online. I will definitely go back.

There’s few photographic shops like this left. You can count on finding either what you’re looking for or something to get you by, although the last few pieces I bought were considerably over the average price found elsewhere. Nonetheless, knowledgeable and service-​oriented overall.

I’d love to see more used gear.
Very good selection, and like another shop in the area, they were very patient with my son trying every lens he could.
We ended up buying 2 lenses (1 for me, and 1 for my son) there.
I love being able to put my hands on things, and then to BUY them in the store from real people, supporting a real local business.
I am just getting back into photography, and my son is getting into it as well, so we’ll be regulars there.

Love this place. Staff is always wonderful and very knowledgeable. — Thank you!

Always helpful. Good prices. Happy to support local business. They always have the latest gear and knowledge on how to put it to use.

Excellent customer service! Needed help with my Diana Mini and they were so helpful.

Thank you Melinda! I was a ‘messenger’ and brought a friend’s camera into the store to be checked (she lives in Sonora, and somehow found Action Camera, who said they would check it, or send it to Nikon for $ 35). Melinda tinkered and fiddled, and didn’t find anything wrong with the camera. She readjusted the manual camera settings and dusted it off. No charge! Thank you! I can’t comment on camera prices or other stuff, since I didn’t look much (hence the 1 star deduction), but wonderful service. Thank you!

Be aware that Action sells demos and open box cameras at full retail without letting customers know they have been previously used.
After discovering accessories in my «new» camera’s box had been unwrapped, and the battery installed, I was surprised to find an SD card with several folders of photos in the memory card slot.
I returned to the store and asked if I could exchange it for a new, unused camera, and was told I could either keep the used one, or return it for credit, as they did not have another one in stock. I asked if store policy was to sell demos as new, without disclosure, at full price, and she replied that it was.

This is one of the better camera stores in the area. Most of the sales reps are pretty good. There have been a few times I have purchased elsewhere because of sarcastic comments by two of the guys there. Mostly a very good experience.

My one stop shop for all things photography related. They are a bit on the high side at times, but I do enjoy looking for new products.

Great camera store. Been shopping here before new owner and received top notch and friendly service from owners and staff.

Do not go for their «free sensor cleaning» unless you’re willing to risk your camera being ruined.
I was shocked when I called and they said their sensor cleaning was free. What a great deal — other camera shops in the area charge upwards of $ 80 to do it. I went in and asked how they do it. The woman who helped me said they use compressed air and regular Q-​tips with cleaning solution. So basically, they are doing sensor cleaning in a way that could damage your sensor and total your camera. YIKES.
Everything I have read says to never use compressed air on your sensor. You don’t need to be a photography expert to understand that propellent fluid can come out of compressed air canisters and leave residue on your sensor, which is very delicate. You should also never use a Q-​tip on your sensor because Q-​tips can leave behind lint and residue. Q-​tips are not meant for the very careful task of cleaning a camera sensor that is worth hundreds of dollars. I was floored when she told me that’s how she intended to clean my camera sensor. I obviously did not let her go through with it.
I guess I now know why I felt uncomfortable when the first thing she asked me to do was sign a form absolving Action Camera of all responsibility if they ruin my sensor. You would think they would do it properly and then have you sign after they are done to acknowledge that the camera worked correctly when you left the store. Very, very sketchy.
I looked at their cleaning supplies and they have a ton of stuff that is not designed for sensor cleaning, but other all-​purpose uses. And everything was way overpriced. I’ll order a cleaning kit from Amazon and do it myself or I’ll pay the price to have someone else do it PROPERLY.
Steer clear. Extremely unprofessional and they just might ruin your DSLR camera.

I recently took up photography. I went to Action Camera for some accessories and tips on my camera. The staff is very knowledgeable and took their time explaining things to me. They didn’t push me to buy the most expensive accessories, but the ones that would best fit MY needs based on how frequently I use my camera.
Remick and I even spent about ½ hour playing Macgyver with a shoulder harness for hands free camera use, custom for my needs…
Awesome service!!!

This shop is great. I recently bought a lens from an online competitor and had a problem. They looked at it for me and helped me determine it was likely just some minor adjustments that needed to be made. I ended up buying a lens that day through them and they were great. They made me feel confident in my decision and let me know if I had any problems to come back to let them check it out. I also like that they are a drop off spot for a lens rental company.
Since then I have learned my lesson and will support my local small business instead of an online chain. The only reason why I did not give them 5 stars is because they do not price match with their top competitors which is very unfortunate when everyone is trying to save when they shop.

So after they read my past review they refused from taking my orders from BorrowLenses.
After placing my order, BorrowLenses called me immediately to let me know this place requested not to take my order, and to arrange another way of deliver the order, everything turn out even better they directly shipped the items to us.
No one should take crap from a «business» like this. I’m glad I don’t need to deal with them no more. Thank you for absolutely nothing.

you’ve got to love these guys. An old school camera shop. They know their stuff, they know their product, and their passionate about helping you take good shots.
don’t bother with the local mass-​market electronics shop who won’t even let you try out lenses to see about whether or not they meet your needs. When you purchase something here, you will get it right the first time.
