What customers say
I've been getting film processed/cameras repaired here for years. Even though I live in the Hudson Valley in New York, I find that Camera Bar's quality and service is unrivaled by any shops near me.
Camera Bar helped my co-workers and I pick out the best camera and lens for our use. Taking great videos for clients was our biggest concern and Aaron helped us out every step of the way. You won't find a store like this near you. Making the trip out to Hartford is definitely worth it.
A real treasure... a family run camera store. The selection of current gear is really impressive and the staff were knowledgeable and attentive.

Its really good to know there a few places like the "Camera Bar" left. This store is fully equipped with modern Nikon & Canon gear as well as vintage Mamiya Sekor and others. But best of all is the staff is both knowledgeable and helpful. Try the Camera Bar for your professional or amateur photography needs.
