What customers say
My Canon AE-1 film camera recently broke. My boyfriend has been raving about Dean for years. Said there is no other man who should look at my camera. He took it to Dean's and sure enough, Dean knew precisely what was wrong with my camera.
Dean is incredible. When I dropped by on Monday he was finishing up with another customer and his deep knowledge of the cameras he works with came through in the questions he asked.
I dropped my vintage sony TRV camcorder off here, it was over an hour drive away from me and i thought all of the time and money i spent would not be worth it in the end. However, Dean did an excellent job at fixing my camera, even better than it’s previous form.
Dean's cameras is an outstanding place to have your camera serviced and/or repaired. Im NOT a camera expert. I have a Nikon D90 that's been in good working order. After visiting Dean, camera works even better ( he serviced it twice). I brought in a few lenses and Dean gave me great advice when to use them.
