Trustworthy Online Stores

My iPhone shot of B&H Photo in New York City.

I don’t think a day goes by without someone asking me where I buy my equipment. I buy a lot of it locally at Photomark and the rest I buy online. Here are my favorite places to buy on the Internet. I’ve purchased a lot of gear from each of these stores and can tell you they are trustworthy.

  • Canoga Camera – A great shop in southern California. Shipping is very fast and the staff is awesome. I usually check here first because the service is top notch. One of my favorites.
  • B&H Photo Video – a HUGE store in New York City. The king of online stores.
  • Adorama – Another big store in New York City. Great deals, solid service.
  • Roberts – The place I go when I can’t find it anywhere else. This store saved me a lot of money a few years ago.
  • Calumet Photographic – Another big store with a great selection. They make their own lighting equipment – great stuff. I usually go here for reflectors, flags, etc.
  • Lastolite – They’ve got some great reflectors, stands and background systems. If you need portable backgrounds or shoot on location a lot make sure you check out their gear.

Do you have any local or online stores you want to add to the list? Just leave a comment if you have a favorite that you think others should know about.

    I agree Canoga Camera is my goto for online stores. The best local store I have been to is Pro Photo Supply in Portland. Knowledgeable (and modest) staff, surprisingly very competitive prices (Tempe Camera had neither of those), and a large inventory. I have bought all my latest gear, including the 5D Mk2, there because they had items in stock and were only a few bucks more expensive than online options.

    Amazon is always a favorite because you can save on sales tax. A great local Utah store is Pictureline. Knowledgeable staff, fair prices, large inventory, etc.

    I agree Pro Photo Supply in Portland is really a must in offline stores with competitive prices compared to online shop

    That is a handy thought, just take a picture and send it to friends. If they ask what store… I will try this.
