Very cool people who are willing to help new or seasoned photographers. Even though my photos were under exposed, they scanned them and gave me feedback + disposed of the film roll for me. Will be going here more often!

Helpful as always! Really love the used selection to get quality equipment and really really good prices!

OMG! The best❣️You can always find what you are looking for and the staff is incredibly helpful.

Very professional service. Honest staff. Even though they mostly deal with analog cameras they helped on my Sony a7 III. Highly recommend

I’ve been trying to sell an old Canon system for years when I discovered this gem in Colorado Springs. Alan the manager spent over an hour carefully appraising each piece. When he provided me an offer, I was more than pleased at the fair price. For folks still using and enjoying print photography, I can’t recommend Cameraworks more strongly.

Cool Little shop. Has abit of Everything camera related. We got a 250 MM lens refurbished for $130!! Smoking deal

They paid me very little for some rare Russian camera, and telephoto lenses. They used the excuse that its hard to get parts for them, and paid me $50 for everything. When I left I did some more research, and just the camera alone sold for 650+ when you could find them.

Purchase a tripod and try to return it unopened 2 days later nobody told me about the no return policy and I’m from out of town very disappointed with the customer service will not be shopping here again I don’t recommend anybody purchasing anything from the store very pushy and rude. Mikes was a much better experience.

Just bought a Canon film camera and decided to stop in today to purchase some film. The employees are all super helpful and friendly, especially the gentleman who was helping me navigate my new camera. They have everything from film, to new or used cameras, to books on photography for beginners. I will definitely be back!

Super knowledgeable staff and super friendly. Have a ton in stocks and they do repairs on older cameras

I came into this shop within CWs final hour of their days business. I wished to place on consignment a 6x4.5cm and a 35mm camera body, 7 lenses, and related accessories carried in with me. Because of my traveling 35 minutes, and not wishing to return the next day, the two seasoned gear experts devoted their undivided attention to assessing the equipment to be consigneds functionality, useability, and presenting condition.Alan proposed buying it all outright -- as adjusted from his shops reasonable used equipment pricing given 30 to 40 year old useable gear -- and factoring in its condition regarding any needed professional repair adjustments called for. This savvy saved me time, and my times use invoving my own daily encumberments.We had a meeting of minds on the assessments this CW staff presented, and a Cameraworks purchase proposal (instead of consignment) criteria, and came to an agreed upon Cameraworks settlement by the time the shop was to close.They worked intensely and steadily to make this happen by closing time. They conversationally discussed relevant details regarding each item, and any called for related considerations which would influence CW standing by these items with their extended guarantee to future CW standards reconciled photo equipment purchasers. Clarifications were given about improving each presented items status, to reach their quality standards, if needed.I learned about them, their standards, their know how, and the good intentions influencing their purchase proposal. Good job, gentlemen!

In a world where 5 stars seems to be the norm, its hard to really show how nice of an experience this really is. This is honestly one of my favorite places to go to ever, not just as a camera store. Everyone here is friendly and really knowledgeable! Prices on film are reasonable and film processing and scanning prices are a bargain, both for 120 and 35mm (really good quality scans too!!). They sell everything needed to start developing film. Great camera collection and film selection too. If you any photographic needs theyve pretty much got it covered.

Very helpful, got all my questions answered. Great selection of equipment!

Excellent store plenty of inventory skilled technicians

We loved the customer service! John was very helpful!

Very nice staff. They bought a 35mm camera and 4 lenses from me. Quick service and a reasonably priced store.

This is a great little shop. The selection for film photography equipment, film, and accessories was good and the condition of the items looked great. C-41 processing was very reasonably priced and turnaround time was fantastic!The reason for 4 star is because I noticed the first frame on all 4 rolls of 120 film I got back from development have what appears to be light leak or accidental exposure during processing and there are spots that look scratched on the negative. I process my own black and white film and hence I know my camera does not do this by default.Otherwise, still a fantastic little shop!

Very professional and the staff know their cameras!

I went in looking for some vintage lenses and I left with a great telephoto lens! They helped me find a good option and all the people there I felt with were all very knowledgeable. Even after I bought it I somehow got the rear cap on the lens stuck on one of my other lenses and they helped me get that off too. I appreciate the help, I love the lens and I will definitely be back!

Amazing place does digital and film.

My Nikon D5500 had a lens stuck on the body, the release button mechanism stopped working for an unknown reason. They were able to fix it in a timely and reasonably priced manner. I am so pleased with the service and repair. Thank you!

Being a film photographer can be difficult because hardly anyone has their own lab to develop film, and a lot of times employees dont know much about it. I am so happy to find this place! Their prices are very reasonable, they got my film developed quickly, have an amazing selection of used film cameras and lenses, and also the staff seemed pretty knowledgeable. I will definitely be back!

Was hoping I could trust the recommendations of a small shop like this... Went in for a couple of things and ended up just buying an IR remote. I asked for a remote that was compatible with a Nikon D610 and I was happy with the service while I was there. Once I got home and opened the box though, I realized the remote was not compatible with any of my cameras- definitely not compatible with the D610. Now Im stuck with a remote that I cant use, cant get a refund for, and would spend more in gas to exchange than its worth. I admit that I should have done my due diligence and checked compatibility before I purchased the remote- my mistake. Just frustrated that I gave a small shop my business and trust, only to have the wrong product purchased.Update: Hi Alan,I believe it was you I spoke with when I called on Monday, as I did call first. The name would be Danielle. I dont believe the young man took down my last name, but it would be Cline. The transaction took place around 11:00 AM on Wednesday, August 19th. I spoke with a young man and a young woman about an on-camera flash for a D610 and a remote for the same. I did not purchase the flash as the one they were recommending was not in stock. The remote I purchased (the only remote that was handed to me) was the Phottix 6-in-1 IR remote, which is not compatible with any of the Nikon D600s. Hopefully this information is helpful.

Wouldnt go anywhere else. Amazing staff good camera equipment.

This has been my go to camera store since moving here last year. Honest prices and quick work when Ive got my film developed. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Inexpensive and quick film development (the only place in the Springs that develops in-house!), super friendly and helpful staff. I love cameraworks and I tell all my friends to go here!

Wanted to purchase a camera for work. Due to Covid and being a small business I wanted to support another local small business. Needless to say the camera I purchased does not do what I was told it did and no refunds so I’m out the money basically. There was no mention of this at the time of purchase. Tried to do a good thing and now I’m stuck with a very expensive camera that I basically won’t ever use. Buyers be aware that purchases are all final. Next time I’ll go to a big box store.

If youre a photographer, or want to get started, then this is the place to go. Alan and his staff know their stuff - even taught an old photog like me a few things. Their prices are reasonable. And, they truly have service after the sale. Definitely will stop in again.

I had a once in a lifetime time opportunity and needed a larger lens for my Canon. I have actually been going here long before I moved to Colorado springs. Even though they always take care of me, I usually know what I need. This time however, I was blown away with the knowledge, professionalism and courtesy I was shown on a lens I knew nothing about. Its times like this I have remained loyal to to one of the best real, true remaining camera shops in Colorado.

Fantastic camera shop!! Highly recommend this local place over some of the bigger chain businesses. I take my camera here for repair and they always have lots of great accessories!

Amazing customer service! Tenzin is a real rock star and knows his stuff. Everyone Ive ever dealt with there have been super knowledgeable and cool about me asking a zillion questions.They also have a really nice selection of goodies. I highly recommend you stop by to check them out before going anywhere else.

Great selection of new and used equipment. Heck they even have d76 and film spools. Happy New Year guys, sell me something good.

Great place to shop or ask questions. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They have lots of used and new cameras, lenses, accessories plus anything you could possibly want or think of. I love this place!

Doom approves.

My sister, my 2 nephews and I were driving from Michigan to Estes Park, flying considered risky as I am immune compromised. During the packing of the Subaru, my photo equipment was taking a lot of space and I gave up my tripod, opting to roll with just my monopod and cotton carrier. Somewhere in Nebraska I suddenly realized that my quick release plate was with my tripod and my camera was kitted out with the cotton carrier attachment. The idea of trying to take wildlife photos with a super zoom without a monopod was stomach churning. After 2 calls to camera shops in Boulder, with no one willing to ship a plate (or even a complete monopod head) to Estes Park, I called Cameraworks in Colorado Springs. I needed a Manfrotto quick release, they had it, they were willing to ship it, and John dropped it off for shipping that afternoon. Vacation saved! (I would have been VERY grouchy!!). I really appreciate the time and effort extended to someone just passing through - I assume that this experience means that Cameraworks customer service is top notch. I will be repaying the favor when I replace my aluminum manfrotto tripod with a carbon one later this year.Thank you again, John and Cameraworks!!

I would definitely recommend that you check this place out! Feels and looks like a family run type of business. If you have a Nikon or Canon camera, and want cheaper lenses, this is your place! I was skeptical at first, but after visiting, it is ever so apparent that they execute intrapersonal, professional business! This store has modern equipment; however, their cameras and lenses are more aged (10-100 y/o not a factor in quality at all), also, while less, there are some newer products. Another major note is in the variety of lighting accessories like flash umbrellas.

Super knowledgeable staff. They have a huge selection of cameras and accessories. The vibe and personality of the shop is what keeps bringing me back. Great shop

Fantastic customer service and Im outstandingly satisfied. I am just starting photography as a hobby and the staff behind the counter were more than willing to give me advice. The camera I purchased is also flawless, and I trust them with technical problems I would ever have.

This place has everything a film photographer is looking for, but I think the most valuable thing here is the information. Im new to the world of photography, so I was a little intimidated walking into this store. However, the staff was super friendly and helped me learn the mechanics of the camera for an hour and a half. They gave me good recommendations for products and even recommendations for classes I could take to learn film. The prices were good too and students get discounts on film.

I took my favorite lens in for repair. They basically rebuilt the thing and did a wonderful job. They even rushed it a bit to get it finished for me before a big trip. I highly recommend this store. Ive gone in the other big chain store in town and they acted like they didnt have time for me, so I always tell people to hit Cameraworks instead. A much friendlier experience with a knowledgeable and professional staff.

The employees are very nice and know are very educated in all the aspects of photography and cameras. I brought an old camera in and they showed me the basics on operating it and had a great deal on film. They also will develop a roll and put it on a DVD for you for $9. Great place, wont ever take my camera anywhere else.

Positive experience with a repair. Lens repaired for the estimate originally given and the work done was quality work. So fortunate to have a local source for honest, competent repairs!

Ive been to other shops in the springs but none have been this friendly.

Good place found what i needed at a fair price

Bought a camera that I have had to teach myself how to use. I purchasing the camera I was told that of I had any questions to come in and they would explain. This turned out to be painful. Still enjoying my camera though.

Great group of guys down there that were extremely helpful. Their used selection is fantastic and surprisingly well priced. I bought a medium format film camera (that for all intents and purposes is outdated) and the guy working the counter was more than helpful. Theyre also one of the few places left in town that will do B&W on site. Definitely found my new camera shop.

Top Notch Customer Service. The staff is full of great Information and very willing to share experience. I am a beginning photography student and they take all the time I need to learn about my equipment. I couldnt ask for a better Shoppe to be in this town. Thank You

They have lots of inventory and very friendly staff. They dont carry telescopes, though.

Awesome service. This store has the most helpful staff. Ross was a great help, offering advice whenever he could. The prices are hard to beat, especially on the 35mm film.EDIT: I originally posted this two years ago. However the comment will remain unchanged. This is your place to go if you need anything camera related.

These guys have not just awesome prices and the latest rebates, but also very good service, knowledgeable sales people and repairs. The selection of items ranges from amateur stuff to pro level. There is also a cool antique and 35mm section here too. These guys know their stuff and I will return here again for all my photography needs.

As always the staff was very helpful! I wouldnt shop anywhere else. These guys rock!

Great staff!

Awesome, I bought a new Canon and they had the same price as Best Buy. BUT, you get all the knowledge and help that true professionals have, not some college student that thinks they know it all....sorry, just stating the facts. I would highly recommend Cameraworks to everyone who remembers what customer service truly was. :) Ross was very helpful, but all the staff are awesome, special thank you to the young lady in the back that got my camera cleaned in a rush before leaving for Africa.. Thanks Again...

Knowledgeable staff! We can always find someone with an answer to all our questions here! They were helpful when we were new to the photography business and know as we get more advanced, they are still right on top of it! Highly recommend the staff and the products!

The best place for film photographers and digital demagogues. Only repair service in town. My old large format 120 cameras responded well to their ministrations. Finally got my flash to work on my zenza Bronica!

These folks are just the very best people you will find in Colorado Springs. When life is beating me down & I just need someone to talk to; I stop by and Gerry picks me up, dusts me off, & gets me back on my feet. When I goof up & break something; Alan is always there to fix it. And the rest of the guys, John, Russ, and the girls; just great people. I wish I could clone them and move them to the White House to resolve the rest of our issues.And their prices are hard to beat! Honestly, you cant go wrong with CameraWorks. Believe me, they will go out of their way to take care of you.

I was very happy with the prompt and honest service I received from Ross specifically. I tried going back but another rep helped and wasnt even close to the level of knowledge and willingness to help that I had experienced with Ross. The owner is the ONLY one who Ive dealt with in the past with the same professionalism as Ross. Thank you for the deals. Support Local!

I brought in my camera because the autofocus quit working. They were able to fix the problem on the spot. They are super helpful and honest. I highly recommend this place if you have camera issues.

Got my first Canon from them. Friendly people and did great answering my many questions. I will return for all my supplies.

This is a great shop they are fair and helpful. They will answer your question and make suggestions

Cameraworks is awsome!

These guys are awesome! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and for the excellent quality and service, they are quite affordable. They have old and new equipment, which they can repair too, unless it is ancient equipment and there are no parts available. I love analog photography equipment, and they have lots of it! Lots of it!! All functioning, tested, and clean! Even better, they will take the time to talk to you and wont rush you. I like being around people who love photography, so I would just come here to shoot the breeze......if they would let me. I dont know anywhere in town where you can buy a functioning Rolleiflex with a 6 month warranty. If it breaks after the 6 months, they have knowledgeable, skilled staff to fix it. So whether you shoot digital, or youre a hipster shooting film on your Leica, or both....check these guys out.

Came here to look at some lenses...walked oit with much more. This place is absolutely amazing!

Ive known Allen for years and he is a great photographer and cameraman plus his staff is top notch and professional

Tenzin, the young man who helped me, was very helpful and very polite! Thanks, Tenzin!

Best place to ask question and get some help in regards to the camera.

Friendly staff and great range of gear, from new to used and digital to darkroom stuff. Good place of you look for the more exotic stuff. Prices are fair too.

Very knowledgeable, and honestly helpfull.I went thinking I would have to pay alot to meet my needs. Soon I will be buying a Nikon P 900 from them.Tom

Awesome! Knowledgeable, experienced people, willing to spend the time necessary to answer questions.And, theyre dog friendly, too!

Very good inventory and incredible customer service. this is a place for the true photographer to go to for both information and product.

I highly recommend this camera shop. This may look like a small photography shop, but they have a steady stream of good used equipment and of course all the new equipment. I have bought new equipment at surprisingly competitive prices. I have learned that I can trust them to sell me top quality, pristine glass, used lenses. I now own several lenses that normally, I could not afford at new prices. These are lenses that I have wanted for a long time.Three years ago I retired my old, heavily used, film equipment and bought new digital gear. Being used to shooting in manual without all the bells and whistles that are on the new digital cameras, learning the new equipment as been quite the challenge. The sales staff have always been very informative, patient with my many questions and never pushy. I love my up-graded gear and use every piece on a regular basis.I started in photography with a 35mm SLR, when I was 13 yrs. old, I am now 50 yrs. old. So, over the years I have been in many camera stores in different states. This is the camera store I have liked and trusted the most. Their business practices are very fair with top notch customer service. I wish in general more stores would run this way. I have a 50 mile drive to get to the store, but I find that it is worth my time.This shop has gone above and beyond helping me become a better photographer.

Costumer service is lacking. Prices are a little high. Shop around there are better shops in town.

This place has everything you could want for photography, new and used. The staff are very friendly and experienced in photography. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable!

We have been in a couple of different times and there was poor customer service. My wife and I keep giving it a chance but are dissapointed every time.

Thus will be my first stop for all things camera from here on out. I only wish i had found it sooner. Big savings and an incredibly knowledgeable staff!

We own a high volume photography studio in Colorado Springs and use CameraWorks to service all of our gear. We also purchase our lenses and accessories from their store. While we may pay a little more than purchasing online, the customer service we receive is worth the nominal additional cost. Their knowledgeable staff (specifically Ross) has helped us in making the right purchasing choices for our studio and has done an outstanding job in keeping our 6 camera bodies and 10 lenses working like new.Whether you are a novice looking for advice on purchasing a new camera or a pro that wants a local partner, I highly recommend CameraWorks.

Everything you need for your camera here reasonably priced

My new favorite camera store. Im glad I found this place!Update.. from 4 stars to 1 star real quick. Shady business practices have ruined me from ever going there again. Took a lens in for repair work, they called and said they couldnt repair it but would sell me a new lens at a discount. When I arrived to pick up my old lens, the didnt have it. They cannibalised it to fix another lens that they then wanted to sell me. In essence, sell my own property back to me. When I demanded my original lens back, they hastily cobbled it back together out of spare defective parts. SHADY!!!Update 2. Look, I understand why you are lying. You look bad in my review but thats because what you did was bad. I never raised my voice. I never bullied anyone. When you called me to tell me my lens was unserviceable you offered to sell me a lens for $170.00, then if you kept my old lens, you would give me a $15.00 credit. I never agreed to that. I said I would be in as soon as I could. When I came in, I wanted to buy from you the lens for $170.00 and keep my lens. To me, even though the autofocus didnt work well, it was still a good manual focus lens.When I arrived, I find out that you dismantled my lens to cobble together a single good lens out of two faulty ones. The part that really bothered me, was that you tried to sell me back my own equipment. If you didnt have a lens to sell without using the one I had in for repair, you should have said so. If you would have just told me that you could sell me a good lens by salvaging parts from my lens, I probably would have agreed. The fact that you did it secretly says a lot about the way you run your business.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Well worth making this your home base photo shop.Did you know: they will clean your camera bodies and lenses at no charge?!?

This place was really awesome they spend a lot of time with me and helped me get the camera that works best for me!

Outstanding section of new, and old equipment at more then fair prices. Worth the trip from Denver to visit!

Friendly service. Wide variety of products available.Recommend to the new or advanced photographer.

Guru and knowledge filled great items and books and OLD school enlargers for Film and Cameras Cameras Cameras

Very friendly service. Had exactly what I needed to help my vacation be even better!!

Gave me a good price for my used telephoto lens. Lots of cameras, lenses, etc.

Decent stop for your camera accessories. Feels a bit like a pawn shop.

Excellent staff. They have a wealth of knowledge and information to share if you need help. They often have hard to find film cameras, also in large firmat. I moved out of state and can no longer do business with them as they have no website or way to order unventory. Were I live now we do not have a camera store like camera works so everything comes from amazon. Wish this camera store and Englewood Camera were in the 21st century for those of us who dont mind supporting small business.

Great place and great people

Fast repair and they had great attention to detail!

Film shooters and camera lovers of all formats, this is a must stop if visiting Colorado Springs

Lowballed me and then slight out handed me outta my Pelican case

They actually know what they are doing in there. refreshing

Helpful staff, decent prices, great selection; at least from an armatures perspective.

Ross was very kind, answering all my questions. They have a decent selection of new and used gear here!

Great options for photography gear.

Extremely helpful and knowlegable staff, Ross in particular

Great for repairs!

The only place I buy camera equipment or get my stuff fixed after I drop it.

Extraordinarily friendly and helpful staff!

Great service
