What customers say
I have shopped at many photography stores, and I prefer dealing with The Imaging World. Here's why: 1) They're local, and I like supporting our local shops. 2) They have the most competitive prices compared to other photography retail sellers 3) Exceptional service 4) No long lines to wait in 5) The items I needed…
As a film photographer, it is important to me to get good film at the best price in a timely manner. That's what I got with my first order from The Imaging World, and I am very pleased! Sometimes I am skeptical of the stores with the lowest price, but I'm glad I tried this one out.
Awesome experience!! We were absolutely clueless about what we wanted when we visited The Imaging World. By the time we walked out with a Canon G15 in hand we knew we made an "educated" choice. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. They took all the time in the world to explain the products and features.
For film production equipment rentals, I highly recommend IW for their stock: prices; and for how reasonable they are to work with. Anyone looking to shoot with the Sony a7S III or four of them, I can tell you they have everything you need.
