They explain EVERYTHING you need to know about cameras and lenses, how to operate to, how to clean etc. I can go on and on how great the staff is...I purchased my first Canon R6 here....It was very affordable.

I've ordered 3 items by now and I haven't had a problem with a single of them. I mainly use Empire Photo Shop for purchasing photographic gears. If there were some inconveniences or questions the sellers were always very nice, helpful and quick to respond.

The Service offered by empire Photo shop is excellent. I bought a couple of cameras, lenses and other photographic equipment from this place. Every time I do purchase they provide an excellent service to me. Sales people are very friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. With my experience, this is the best place to buy photographic equipment in new york.

The performance of this Sigma 70mm f/2.8 lens is freaking out of this world! This is the first art lens I have ever owned. I have been able to take some very nice photos with it for a couple of weeks now. Thanks to Empire photoshop for the Great selection.

I have always found them very helpful. Their prices are fair, and they ship on time, and send a good tracking email. I do wish they would use FedEx to ship though, the FedEx location is more convenient for me. After placing a couple of orders this last week I had to downgrade them because of their shipping. They are still helpful, but they ship late, and the shipping charges are quite high. I will use other stores more often because of this.

Re: Great Package! Purchased an a6400. Fantastic camera, great package! The Sony 200-600 Telephoto lens is handy for general purpose. I use the camera for short range photography so I'll buy a lens appropriate. Beyond that, Empire Photo Shop is top notch as always and I couldn't recommend a better source for photographic needs. This is a great package across the board!

First class service, knowledge and advice. I ordered a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens and it was sourced and delivered in two days. The chaps who crew the shop are all renowned NYC photographers themselves, so its never just another transaction, refreshing. Recommended.

Im not the type to write reviews but on this occasion i thought i would. This is my 2nd time using Empire Photo Shop, the previous was back in 2017. Both experiences have gone seamlessly. My most recent order was the Canon 5ds r, i ordered it on the 29th June and received it today on the 6th July in Maine. That's 5 days excluding the weekend. So far so good, the camera works as intended, its 100% brand new. The communication the company provides is excellent, im not even sure there's a way they could improve it. I would 100% buy from again, I personally wish they could offer to buy the Canon big white lenses (600mm) as i have to get those elsewhere. I would 100% recommend the company.

It's great to have a retailer like this around. Prices seem sharp but there's no competition where you can go in and look at used gear. All the items are stored in the back now so you can't see what's in stock. It's been busy when I've been there at the new location so there was no room to walk about. Only open Saturday. Pretty sure it's actually an online store at this point.

I've been enjoying this D7500 camera so much! I'm an amateur photographer that loves storm chasing, hiking, and camping. WOW.. could not believe the capabilities of this camera! I'm just loving it. Now we have to take a class on how to use it!. Empire Photo Shop, NY Was AMAZING with placing and shipping this order. Well done! Amazon and other larger companies can take notes!!!

Fadeless Powerhouse! The Canon LP-E19 Battery Pack is the long lasting power source for machine gun blasts of high frame rate exposures with a Canon 1DX. Battery works great. No complaints. Holds a long charge. Can shoot all day on this battery without changing!

My husband got a Pelican ProGear backpack for my laptop at Empire Photo Shop. The build was excellent. He also bought a camera and again the service was excellent. Paul and the team are very knowledgable. Lovely shop and most importantly, reasonably priced. We can’t recommend Empire Photo Shop highly enough.

Purchased Nikon Z 6II from these guys two years ago. Since I live in Newark they had to go the extra mile arranging courier and delivery. Very helpful staff attached FTZ leaving me with very little to do. Zero sorted after a couple of shots. Recently I needed their help in getting the camera sensor serviced, aftersales service fantastic. I have nothing but praise for this team of professionals. Special mention to Paul and Andy. Kind regards Ross C.

Wow! Legendary! Wow! The prices on this site made me little uneasy about the lens I wanted to buy, but did my little research and ordered a Samyang lens from here. Not only it arrived on time, it's as good as I bought it from BestBuy or bh photo video. Love this store and probably will stick to this for buy camera equipment.

Lensbaby Burnside 35mm F/2.8 covers a full frame sensor. Full frame will also give you the full effect of the lens. It is beautiful on my 6DMkII. No adapters needed. Some of the effects of this lens are reduced by its use on a small sensor, particularly the vignette effect. But the lens still renders a surreal effect with practice.

I purchased this Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 over a year ago. I have found this camera to be dependable, easy to carry and easy to use. It does not discharge the battery quickly unless I take a lot of flash shots in sequence. The pictures are great. This camera focuses quickly. With a larger memory card than that which comes with it, the memory capacity is more than adequate.

Excellent Lens! As an architectural photographer I am always looking for ways to make my client's buildings look better. The Zeiss Milvus 35mm is my second Zeiss lens. The pictures are very sharp. The color is near perfect. A finer contrast vs heavy handed. Great detailed lens. Does exceptional focus stacking, too. Paul answered any questions I had in regards to my Zeiss Milvus, color rendition and micro contrast of the Milvus at f8, as I'm still relatively new to the world of shooting landscapes. I will be buying from Empire Photo Shop again, that’s for sure. Top guys and top services.

I received a a very detailed reply with my questions answered along with some suggestions and advice. anyone who puts such effort into presales care is awesome in my books. I look forward to stopping by in a couple of weeks to make that purchase, and perhaps further purchases in future. my thanks to The Empire' team

I received this NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6 about July. 7th.Be sure and order a case for it. I got the Lowepro 13x32cm case, and it fits perfectly. I also ordered the B W 95mm UV filter to protect the lens.As far as the lens is concerned, I had to bump up my ISO to hand hold it, as it is slow, but you can't beat the price. I grabbed a Gitzo plate for it on a discount, I'll try it on a tri pod.

Great photography shop, with knowledgeable staff who take pride in their work. Extremely helpful helping me fix an issue with one of our school camcorders, and then some useful tips on shotgun microphones. I've bought my own Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 from here, 4 filters, and will hopefully get a Canon EOS 7D from then soon.

I shoot Elk in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Shoshone National Forest Wyoming, What i like most about it is they dont hover round you, they leave you to browse and handle the lenses at leisure. Great service as well. I was able to take pictures of Elk with the Canon EF 600mm F/4L IS III USM. It's an investment, but homestly the best equipment decision I have ever made. I love it.

We received a friendly helpful welcome, was given some great knowledgeable advice and was given a good price for the items we were selling.

I visited this place looking for a rebel T7 for my son. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. The range of beginner cameras available was good and prices seemed fair compared to other places I had looked. Although I didn't actually end up buying from them on this occasion, I will definitely go back when I'm looking again.
