Awesome place! Love that it has a lot to offer with all their products and services. Everytime I come it's super efficient. They have what u need and your on your way! And they still sell film and develop film ! It's a win.

We just moved to Sac and we are very glad to see a specialty store at here! I’ve been a Canon 5D user for many many years and look for a change to mirrorless. I bring all of my questions to Mike’s camera and wanted to test out. Joe is the guy who’s very nice and knowledgeable. He answered my questions and we tried all of the demo cameras that we wanted. Thank you Joe!

Place was busy when I visited on a Saturday, but the staff was excellent and attentive. Had at least two people offer to help. I appreciated how helpful the staff were despite having so many customers. Highly recommend this place and I would come back. One drawback was that they didn't seem to have any speedlite diffusers. Idk if it's a matter of shipping issues or a store issue, so I'm not knocking any stars for that. I was able to get 2 Promaster batteries for my Canon camera. They were out of stock of the Canon batteries but said they might have some soon. And they had a 20% off sale on batteries so I got a fairly good deal. The only issue I ended up having was product related and has nothing to do with the store. Sharing just in case it helps someone else... I bought a set of 4 Promaster rechargeable batteries and the charger pack for a wedding. Unfortunately, the batteries at full charge only lasted about 45 minutes. I have another set of Enelopp rechargeable batteries that seem to last for hours. Will definitely be returning the Promaster batteries although I didn't see any Eneloop batteries so I may have to buy those elsewhere. That's a wrap on my experience!

Great camera shop. Prices are in line with online sellers, but they actually have people to help. Got a great deal on a Nikon and it was awesome to try it out in store so I could see the size and feel of it before purchasing.

I have the negatives of some pictures that I have lost. Would it be possible to get some of the pictures reprinted from them? And, if yes, how long would it take?

Dawnald Bonifield | Sep 7, 2019
Djibraun | Sep 7, 2019

Definitely.. how long depends on the number of negatives you submit and what condition they're in. They can also scan them to a disk if you like. On average, a single roll will usually take no more than a day or two. Also depends on how busy they are

Sorry for the late reply, this is nto a battery I can get any longer, I would check Batteries Plus for an option.

I recently dropped my Panasonic 12-35mm F2.8 lens on pavement and the UV filter is jammed on the thread. Can you remove the jammed filter?

Mike's Camera Inc Sacramento | Oct 11, 2021

Olivia Thank you for your question. A lot depends on how many you have and what sizes. Typically 2-4 days though.

Do you have the capabilities to remove a watermark from prints taken at a portrait place? I have a form of written consent giving me ownership of them and would like to have some prints made. If you can, how much would this cost roughly?

victoria anita magana | Oct 11, 2021
Mike's Camera Inc Sacramento | Oct 11, 2021

Victoria We can certainly do this but it would be far better and give you a better end result if you can get the original file from the photographer. I am sure that you are in contact with them if they have given you a copyright release on the images.

Can you repair the lense of a sony cybershot dsc h300 camera?

Olivia Brewer | Oct 11, 2021
Gerald Rice | Oct 11, 2021

They actually do have a camera repair service, but not in-house. I had them send my Canon 50D out and had it back within a few weeks. Camera works great now. I wasn't sure I wanted to pay to have it fixed considering its an older model. But I'm glad I did cause that's an excellent old camera. In your case, you can probably find that same camera for the price of the repair, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. They'll charge you an upfront fee which will be applied toward the repair if you choose to have to work done. Even if you don't have the camera fixed, the place is worth visiting. If you love photography, it will inspire you.

I'm looking for an affordable bundle kit with the nikon 3400 with battery pack, charger, case, and the bigger zoom, and macro lenses. Something within the $500 range?

Paul Knipfer | Sep 7, 2019
Paul Naraine | Sep 7, 2019

Your budget would probably need to increase to about $800 if you are looking for something with those specifications. Best is to walk into Mike's and ask the sales pros on what is available within your price range.

What is this stores current 35mm film inventory? And does this store stock the new Ektachrome?

Robi Bautista | Sep 7, 2019
Tao Luo | Sep 7, 2019

There are a lot of choices. It has almost all ilford b&w films and kodak films in stock. For the fujifilm, they only left the professional grade films such as slide film, 400H, etc. I asked them about the new ektachrome last week, they said they will finally get it, but not sure when
