Rented a camera there, a Nikon Z5, and loved the experience! If you are a photographer looking to try out a new camera or an amateur just looking to take some good shots rather than using your cell phone, this is a great place to go! Knowledgeable staff and great pricing/terms on rentals!

Much more than I imagined. More equipment, more services, more staff working on more aspects of more photography categories than I'd imagined. I got more cash than I expected for the equipment I sold to them. Staff was very knowledgeable, and professional. Good experience all around. If you're ever trying to sell photography equipment, DON'T go to the pawn shop, go to Shutterbug.

Went in looking for a TTL flash for my Olympus. They had one low-end Oly brand strobe at premium retail price. The also had a used Nissin - third-party flash, as well as the matching wireless transceiver. These were $199 each. I looked up the Nissen web site. MSRP was $249 for the pair. Other online shops, of course, had the set discounted to $199.. Shutterbug was charging double the new price for the used gear. The salesman didn't know anything about the equipment and couldn't tell me anything useful about either flash. He didn't know whether the Oly flash was wireless; Hector me it wasn't. I had to open and read the manual to find that it was. So, what this store offered me was nothing more than last-minute convenience, with extremely limited selection, at an enormous markup. On the bright side, it's next door to a cannabis dispensary, giving new meaning to a "wasted trip." I mourn the death of local retail shops, and used to love frequenting good camera stores and talking to the pros for their expert advice. But this place is a sad reminder of an lost era.

As a camera beginner, I came in with a list of questions in regards to what I needed in a camera. Within minutes, Mike was able to identify a great camera for me. He listened to every question and answered them all! I was sincerely impressed with the information he gave and with his patience with a beginner. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Shutterbug for follow up questions or additional equipment. There were no pushy sales techniques or attempts to upsell me with items I didn’t need. He gave me all of the information I needed so I absolutely purchased my camera through him. I settled on a new Canon Mark II with a great warranty. I wasn’t the only happy customer in the store, it was easy tell they have a loyal following for good reason. 10/10 recommend.

Hi Shutterbug, I saw a small air purifier in your Santa Rosa shop . It was about same size as a liter water bottle and tube shaped. Do you still have them to sell? What price? Thanks, Carole

Jonathan Parnell | Aug 26, 2020

You can add the date as text when you print. The date on the back is the date it was printed, not taken. Some cameras have a setting to turn on called "date imprint." We can help you find that if it is there.

I have pictures that I want to put in a slide carrousel; does Shutterbug do that?

A Google User | Aug 27, 2019
Jonathan Parnell | Aug 27, 2019

If you want to make a presentation of your images, it would be easier for them to make a DVD or mp4 movie slideshow from your pictures. It would be more complicated to take your pictures and convert them into slides that go in the carousel. It involves taking pictures of your pictures using special slide film (which Shutterbug could develop, takes 7-10 days) and then finding someone to mount them into the square holders for the carousel.
