What customers say
Amazing experience at George’s camera! Really nice & attentive customer service and super fast film development turnaround. On our case they mentioned 3-4 days and then a half day later we had our films scanned directly sent to our email. If I’m ever at San Diego I would go back. Thank you for everything!!!
I was recommended to George's by a friend. I don't know much about cameras. I am in the resale business and I found a camera at a thrift store this past week. I did a Google search and saw that it might be worth quite a bit. When I arrived at George's they were extremely friendly and very eager to help me.
I have been coming to George's Camera in North Park for a while now. Customer service and the quality of service is utterly unmatched. I have never experienced a bad interaction, and I have never felt like just a customer they are trying to get a sale out of.
There aren't many camera stores around these days, let alone a good one. Props to Mark! aka - Joe Walsh. Mark took the time to assist in getting my Gopro and associated adapters to work with a telephoto lense. Not all shops are like this, and Mark is awesome! We'll do a prime lense next time.
