I came in today with a broken tripod thinking Id have to buy a new one. The staff at Procam fixed it and didnt charge anything. I am not a professional cameraman and know almost nothing about camera equipment. They had a golden opportunity to make some easy money and take advantage but chose not to. This really shows honesty and integrity. Wonderful service, terrific store. Highly recommend.
The staff was very knowledgeable about their products and gave me some products I needed for my business. Fun fact: they have a studio which can be rented out so ask its really cool. They also purchase old electronics
Super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff! Very patient answering questions and will look up answers or ask someone else for things they dont know. Renting was quick and easy to do and so was purchasing.
I went to Procam on Saturday July 10 2021 to check lenses options for my Sony camera. I spoke with Dan over the phone on Friday and he advised me to come over. Dan was extremely helpful and I’m glad I made my trip to Procam. He let me check multiple lenses for my final rental. Thanks Dan and Procam for outstanding service.
The best in Business, They have a huge selection of rentals, you can rent the product you want to buy, try it out and if you decided to buy, they offer to deduct the price of rental from the retail price. Jim and his team are excellent in handling customer needs, A very friendly and knowledgeable team. Been there several times, never a bad experience.
What a great experience! Worked with Erik and Kevin. They both did a great job heloiyme select the correct camera for my business needs. Will continue to shop with ProCam for a long time and highly recommend you stop by. I also spoke with the Jim from rentals and will be renting some canon lenses to try out before I buy additional lenses. One spot stop!
I went to this place to be sure I was buying the professional camera I wanted, a Nikon D850. After more than 30 minutes testing the display camera and even being honest about a bad experience I had buying online because they sent me an open box camera with a missing part, they brought me another open box camera. They said it was new and proof of that was their own sticker on the box. I told them that I didnt feel comfortable investing more than $3000 in an open box camera and their sticker in the box couldnt be use as proof of brand new camera. Their solution? The manager called the salesman who then told me that the camera was already sold online. It seems that no matter how big or known is a business we cant trust them, you as costumer are not important anymore.
Salesperson are very knowledgeable and helpful. Location was very clean, prices were great and they price match. Also, has a very good printing service and turnaround times.
Went to buy camera lens. Clerk seemed unsure of what I was looking for..
Cant say enough good things about PROCAM in Amelia, OH. Staff is great to work with, and very knowledgeable. I consider myself to be a serious novice in photography, but not a professional. What I like is that they will assist you greatly in taking the time to listen to what you are looking for in a camera system, and make a recommendation to you. PROCAM is not about selling you the most expensive gear, but suggesting to you the right gear. Keep up the great work here at the Amelia store, and you will always have a faithful customer.
Have been renting Cameras here. Amazing place if you need your photography supplies
The best spot for everything photography- beginner to pro
Its always nice to be able to stop in an ACTUAL camera store, rather than some big box store.Great selection, knowledgeable employees.
Amazing staff!! Great classes! I only buy from Procam.
Great place, great offer! very kind staff, especially Matt, dedicated, explained what interested me and kindly served!!! I will come again definitely!
Good local camera store though cant beat adorama
This place has the kind of customer service I forgot existed ! I was in the store today and they could not have been more patient, kind, and helpful .
PROCAM is a great Camera shops with a huge inventory of Canon, Nikon, Sony, and so many more. Vince, Steve, Bill, Bobby, and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They offer great prices and will price match big New York merchants like B&H and others.PROCAM has a nice rental and used gear selection. They stock everything from lighting to bags to a see of tripods. They will make you a fair offer on your old gear in trade. It is amazing that a local camera store this good still exists. Support them. See their procam website for more.
Matt did a great job going over my new camera I would definitely recommend this store all orginal products
Great staff very helpful and very knowledgeable will shop again
Every time I walk in the building they take all my money lol Great service, fantastic years of experience and assistance on getting equipment these guys are the best
The guys up in Aurora great, very friendly and helpful. Ive bought a camera and returned a couple months later to purchase a lens. Both experiences were great and will be going back Im sure. I drove an hour and a half to shop with them so that should tell you something. Store is stocked with ALL KINDS of goodies and Id venture to say they probably have about anything youd ever want or need. Shop the brick and morter stores or well loose them !!!
Amazing. Simply amazing. Im ab on the go photographer, and whenever I need supplies or equipment this is the only place that will have it. People are nice and super helpful!
Nice, clean place. Always pleasant, and more importantly, knowledgeable salespeople.
Great service. Great people.
ProCam Aurora is THE place to go in the Chicago metropolitan area for all your camera and video needs. Bill and Vince are very knowledgeable and patient with all levels of photographers in helping them select the best equipment for their needs and budget. I highly recommend them, and they also do professional onsite printing for your own family or for clients.
Very helpful staff. Full range of products and services.
It’s nice to have a local place to get this stuff immediately and to have someone to help you find what suits your needs. They do a good job of matching or beating Adorama or B&H prices even if you don’t ask them to. You can tell their sales guys are commissioned because some of them lay on the pressure to buy now a little thick for my comfort, but I’ve never had them steer me toward something that I didn’t think would be a good fit and they always give me a good deal. I even had one warn me about a frustration with an expensive lens. I bought it anyway but I probably should have listened to him.Their store brand stuff (Pro Master) can be quite a bit cheaper than name brand stuff and almost as good. The deal tends to be better with their store brand hardware and accessories than the electronics or filters. So things like tripods, lights, and batteries tend to be a better value than their SD cards or UV filters. Their store brand stuff may not be as cheap as some of the stuff you might find on Amazon, but some of that stuff doesn’t work at all or barely works. So it’s a safer buy for a pretty small premium. They also can give you much steeper discounts on them and have more room for negotiation. Like I’ve had them throw something in for free as a part of a pretty large purchase.
Eric was a huge help and was able to point me in the right direction.
Dan in the store was very helpful looking at gear, enthusiastic and a good ambassador for the store and their print lab.i havent been there in some time since they were wolf camera but great store gobswe Dan.
Good place to buy stuff and very accommodating people. Thanks to erik for helping couple times purchasing my R series gears
I will stick to B&H. I with my asthma and severe anxiety, I cant were a mask over my nose and mouth. So much for supporting a local shop.
Wow...great customer service. I work for a middle school and our student group is looking for some basic filmmaking equipment. Its such a steep learning curve. I had a couple of products that werent playing nice together and wanted some help with what I should replace. Vince was able to suggest an entirely new, cost effective option that saved me a TON of work (and money!). Such an awesome experience! Highly recommend.
Kevin helped us to understand the specifics of camera gear! Super knowledgeable & professional! Thank you very much, Kevin! Highly recommended!!
They have all for renting you are dreaming of for reasonable prices.
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Eric helped us get to know our camera and pick out the perfect lens. Highly recommend.
Always a great place to get anything photography related. This place is much better than a big name store to get u r camera gear. They have 10 times more options in everything.
Eric helped me decide between a sigma lens and a Sony lens for my Sony mirrorless. He definitely displayed knowledge and insight for what I was seeking and I am thrilled with the decision I made after speaking with him.Eric thank you!
Was there for a workshop in April.The back area is huge! Large enough to comfortably have several rows of tables and chairs. They offer a screen for presentations.We also set up two different shooting locations. They offer so much equipment to rent, that both areas were full of all the equipment we needed for the shoots.The staff was friendly and accommodating and bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed. They were available to answer any equipment questions.There is handicap accessible parking.There are handicapped accessible bathrooms in the back area. One for women and one for men. They were clean and well equipped.The only downside was the overhead lighting. We had to have it on at least in one section for the shoots. Would have been nice to be able to have more localized lighting instead of the florescent overhead lights, but not sure that is possible in that big room.I highly recommend them if you need a place for workshops or training, or to rent for a shoot.
Great people with great advice. They dont push sales on you just give information so you can make the best decision about a lens, camera, bag or whatever else youre looking for...Update the equipment that they recommended Raz undersold the capability of it or I just didnt grasp what he was saying. They are experts, or at least he is!
Lots of equipment, helpful staff, good COVID precautions.
Great Customer service. Friendly. Helpful.
I want to write a meaningful WELL DESERVED review for ProCam! After accidentally dropping my Nikon 10-20mm Lens in the Fox River in Downtown Aurora, the staff came to the rescue to get me a new one. Each person on staff exhibits extraordinary customer service skills and makes EVERY effort to make sure they satisfy your needs. I especially want to give a shout out to Erik and Billy for their help in getting me a new 10-20mm. I HIGHLY recommend ProCam for any photography needs!!! I’m looking forward to doing more business with them in the future as well as taking some of their classes that they offer! Keep up the good work!
Good selection of camera gear and friendly staff. I highly recommend talking to Eric, always helpful and actually follows up like youre supposed to in customer service.
My wife is a photographer and needed a rental for a second camera. She called ahead of time to ask about rental prices and reserving a camera. The associate told her they dont do reservations and to just come on in the day of and theyll likely have the camera. He gave her the price of the rental which was to be around $153. We headed in the day she needed the camera and they told her she needed to put down a deposit of the value of the camera in addition to the rental fee for a total of about $3500. When she acted surprised they acted like this is something she should have known. Well, she thought that might have been an IMPORTANT BIT OF INFORMATION THE ASSOCIATE SHOULD HAVE SHARED ON THE PHONE. Oh, and they also offer online rentals which is something the associate also said they didnt do. I didnt have an extra $3500 lying around because if I did, Id just buy a camera instead of renting. All in all, a terrible customer service experience.By the way, all of this information can be found on the website but obviously if you dont visit the website and simply call, you apparently will be told the wrong info.
I bought a flash from these guys. Did it break the very next day? Yes. (Manufacturer defect) Flash would not come off the hot shoe and even though this was not ProCams fault they provided me with a loaner camera and flash while they repair my equipment. Thats service. Good on you ProCam!
Always helpful
As popular as “amazon” shopping is, there is nothing like going in to a store and actually talking to a knowledgeable person and physically touching something before you purchase it. In my case, i even rented the camera over the Xmas holiday, just to make sure I actually liked it. No high pressure sales, just people who want to make sure you purchase what best fits you..
Went to get some old negatives developed into photos. They were prompt and friendly and the lady maning the photo counter was very knowledgeable.
A real camera store still survives! Excellent selection of new and used, great advice, ability to rent before dropping big dollars, decent preowned selection. They are online too so they need to compete with those prices. Highly recommended. Duh.
First visit yesterday, beautiful store with a wide variety of products. Was immediately helped by Wesley who was very knowledgeable and patient and helped me through every step of buying a new lens. Thanks Wes! Highly recommend this place and will most definitely be returning.
More i come here more i like this place, did a photoshoot in their studio and it was awesome. highly recommend it if need a place big enough that has multiple setups.
This is a great place to shop for all your camera/video needs. From the beginner buying their first camera to the professional, they have a great selection of gear. Best of all a very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous staff. They will help you get it right the first time.
I love the rental space in the back! Cant wait to film my next music video there.
Weasley made my camera shopping experience so much easier. He helped me understand and find what I was looking for in my price range, while comparing other stores prices. Overall a great experience and I’ll be coming back here for my camera needs!
First visit here today, superb service!! Will definitely be back. Worked with Vince- excellent customer service. He took time going over our options with us and made us feel very confident and satisfied with our purchase. Highly recommend!
Great customer service. These guys where able to secure a tripod for me at a short notice. I’m really impressed. They made me felt like a valued customer.
This store is awesome! As a professional I require the most reliable equipment possible in my kit. ProCam caries a ton of the gear I want and need. Dont tell them I told you but they often beat Amazon pricing if you ask for a small discount. I normally do not see many sales here but if you ask they have plenty 😉
The people there are top notch. Not just some extra help hired to hold down the store, but some true professionals who know and understand their craft. As a rookie photographer they are a great help and never make me feel bad about asking questions and being new to photography. I foresee me spending a lot of my time and money at this place.
Terrible film development! Scratched my negatives. Walgreens does a better processing. The prints Iare Ive saturated. The DVD is very low resolution. I was really looking forward to having a quality photo shop. Thanks for ruining my work.
Staff here is really knowledgeable and friendly. They also went out of their way to help me in a pinch. In all the activity of getting prepared to shoot a wedding, I forgot to pick up my rental lens and camera body the day before the wedding. I didn’t realize my predicament until really late that night, so I reached out to them on Facebook and explained the situation. The next day (day of the wedding) they had someone there an hour early to open up the store and allow me to get my lenses in time for the wedding ceremony. Really thankful for this local business and will continue to bring them business and recommend them in the future.
Very helpful staff.
Great customer service couldnt say better things about these guys. Vince the store manager is very nice and willing to work to make the customer happy. On top of all that they are very informed about the products they sell. AMAZING STORE GREAT PEOPLE
Saturday a week ago I went in to get a few pointers on how to use my Manfrotto Pano Head that I use for real estate photography. Jaz helped me by giving me the quick and easy lesson on how to change the settings. I did not buy the piece from there. I was so excited that I bought and had a new protective cover for my screen installed. I then found out that you can get your sensors cleaner for $35 so even though I was not feeling well, I went back soon after opening on Friday morning and got all the little stringy things cleaned off my senor. They did it while I waited. I was thrilled just in time for my two shoots on Saturday. I will be back!!! Also Jaz suggested ed a piece of equipment that I will probably be buying in the near future. They listen to your needs and help you be a better photographer. They also have top notch photography instructions and speakers, rental studio space, and rentals, and an assortment of video and still and drone photography equipment for all your photographic needs. It is nice not to have to drive to the city for my equipment needs!!!
DO NOT SELL YOUR EQUIPMENT HERE. The purchaser lowballed me (as expected), but even quoted my Canon 6D as a 60D (roughly half the value). Luckily I caught it before the exchange was processed. The manager asked me if I wanted cash or credit, I said cash. Then when the transaction was done, he hands me a receipt and says thank you. Confused I said so wheres the money?. He replies Oh well send you a check. Then chuckles and says they do not carry that amount of cash at their store, as if it was laughable to think that CASH actually meant CASH, and it was preposterous to think that a store with millions in inventory would keep a couple hundred dollars on hand. They told me it would take 7-10 days for the check to arrive. TWO WEEKS later I call to check on the status of the check. They say they dropped the ball and that checks were being sent out that day. I waited 3 weeks to get my money. If it werent for me calling I would have never known. No apology, no certificate to compensate. Just a late check. There is literally no positives to selling here. Just use Ebay for selling, and Amazon for purchasing gear instead.
Professional and friendly staff. They are not uptight about letting you get your hands on the equipment! Great store, awesome selection. Check them out. They have a lot to offer.
Anyone interested in photography in any form will appreciate this store. The staff is extremely friendly and more than willing to help you find what you are looking for. (Even if you didnt know what you needed!) This store is spacious inside with a great variety of inventory on display. Although it opened in November, this was my first trip here. I would highly recommend this location to anyone, and I am looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Katie!
Very knowledgeable staff. Nice people to do business with
This place is great. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have come here many times and they always treat you like a VIP. Definitely come here if you are planning on buying any gear.
The best place for Photo and Video gears. The staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable. They patiently answer our questions and clear our doubts and concerns. They give best suggestions on products and always willing to give the best deal possible.
Professional friendly service. They now offer in-house printing. They carry professional printers and photographic paper from the likes of MOAB and Canon. Lots of accessories and best camera gear around
Came into the store excited to get some new gear after a convention. Walked around the store for about 15-20 mins and no one acknowledged I was there or asked if I needed help . There was atleast 6 people working and one other customer . After waiting patiently for someone to help me find what I was looking for I decided to leave . Terrible service. I’ll be shopping somewhere else from now on.
Great place for Canon, Sony, and Nikon bodies and lenses. Also a great place for buying used equipment or renting equipment and studio space and time. Staff is knowledgeable and service is great. They also carry Sigma, Profoto, Manfrotto, Sirui, Promaster, Promedia, Peak Design gear, hard cases, imaging, printing equipment.
Love this place, Ive purchased most of my gear here. Customer service is great and are willing to help - if you go and dont know much about what you need/want, ask for Bobby, hes helped me a lot. Date Posted 01/06/2017
The BEST customer service and products out there. Stacy McReynolds is very knowledgeable and helpful creating items to brand my food truck. From menus to merchandise they can print on anything and everything! Other companies do not compare to the overall quality and pricing Procam has to offer.
The best photo store in Chicago area. Big store with very nice employees. Bought a canon printer from them and they even helped me fill out the rebate form.
Great staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Steve was a life saver and helped us get the best deals on our recent visits!
Biggest place in Chicago. A bunch of nerds work there just like me. So you can nerd out about gear. Super helpful people, who love what they do.
Excellent staff with answers to all kinds of questions. If you enjoy photography, take a look inside this place. It is a Pro-Shop but they still carry film for your old 35mm too.
Ive visited here multiple times and each time Ive been here, Ive been greeted with a smile and friendly service. They have a great selection of items from many popular manufacturers and pretty much everything you need for your photography or videography needs. Give them a try, I highly recommend it.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Not pushy which is nice. ProCam has an incredible selection of camera equipment ranging from dust covers to gimbal stabilizers and more.
I bought a Rebel T7, staff nice and great service!
Went to buy a camera. Didnt have my bundle in stock which was dissapointing. But Im not in a big hurry so no big deal.The salesperson was very helpfull and I told him him that I would just check back next week when they are to get more in stock.Found a great deal on a tripod instead!
Great store for all photography needs and they also transfer old slides, photos, and videos to CD
Friendly, knowledgeable staff, great selection of gear, good prices. Professional or otherwise, if you need something for your camera, try this place.
A place I tend to spend too much at. They have everything. From used gear to new gear and rentals. They even print photos and have a studio you can rent out. My only issue is that some of the gear is heavily over priced. Were talking SD cards for 3 times the cost anywhere else.The best part though is the friendly and knowledgable staff.
Nice and helpful staff. the store has everything I need to shoot develop and print professional photos.
Was willing to offer me free help over the phone even though I am not a customer. As a new photographer who lives very close to here I will definitely be in here soon.
01/03/19 Had to add a new review Procam is amazing First it starts out with Vince and Bill who are so helpful and great to talk to.Then the print gals Stacy and April who are so cheerful and helpful and take care of customers so well. I have to mention Steve and Wesley who are amazing to work with. The best store for photography they are like family they are all very friendly If you need help ask for Vince Bill or Steve If you need help with your printing needs ask for Stacy or April they are always ready to help and all the staff is so knowledgable.
They all just looked at me and kept saying one second but yet taking in any other customer that walked in! I’m African American mixed with Indian an I feel like it was racist thing! I waited Patiently over 30 minutes in the store before I walked out!! I can’t believe They all just looked at me!! I’ll never be back!
Was recently there and I loved the service found the lens i wanted in and out amazing service jaz is a great salesman
Store personnel are very knowledgeable and helpful. They also have a great studio space available for rental. Highly recommend Procam!
Always professional,AlwaysPolite,Always patient.I enjoy doing businessWithProgram
Great place for rentals. They went above and beyond to make sure we had what we need.
