Camera Traders

Anthony and his crew are so dedicated and helpful, it’s no wonder this store has been around as long as it has. Their collective wealth of knowledge and willingness to share have helped me out of more than a few jams, and I can’t recommend them enough.

This is the best vintage-orientated camera store in BC, incredible stock, knowledge and customer service. Had a small issue with a purchase and they went above and beyond to sort it. Highly recommended.

These guys are amazing. Lots of advice, spent some time fixing a mechanical issue with my digital camera and refused to accept any payment. They deserve all the trade you can give them and more.

These guys are awesome very professional and friendly plus very knowledgeable. I would recommend these guys over a big company. Support local.

Awesome store. I recently ordered some film and I didn't pay attention to the fact that there where purchase limits for some film stocks (totally understandable). I was refunded the difference for the film I ordered over the limit. I was pleased and surprised today to see that in my package they added a free roll of film for me as a "Thank you for understanding". What great service! These guys know how to keep returning customers.

Boy, oh boy, did I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I had a hard time choosing between the many camera-related products. I thought I knew a lot about cameras, but I am humbly surprised.

Great place to get a variety of film outside of the standard Kodak and Fujifilm (which they have!) Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great place to get a gift for the film-interested.

Yaaaa its amazing. Its just special. One of those spots that those who know know. And once you know you know. Just make sure to spend lots of money so they can stay in business forever!

I went all over the city looking for the right parts I needed and hands down this place was filled with the kindest and most helpful people. I left with all the answers and everything I needed for a great price. For any beginners and people on a budget I recommend Camera Traders, they are the best in town!

Knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Amazing used gear and film equipment. I love the location as well as the space. It’s just cool. I’ve purchased many vintage lenses and a ton of film and film photography equipment from Camera Traders over the years. If you’re a local, shop here. If you’re a photo nerd who’s visiting Victoria make this a stop on your trip.

Really nice camera shop with really friendly staff. Never before have i been to a camera shop where the staff are basically handing you the cameras you're staring at in the locked cabinet! Went in for a light meter (which i bought as well) and ended up walking out with a new camera! Highly recommended, especially to the hobbyist film shooter.

The staff took the time to help me out with the mechanical issues that I complained about. Still waiting for my test roll to be developed, but I'm confident that all will be fine.

Absolutely my go too for all my camera needs and expertise! Camera traders goes above and beyond and I feel like 5 stars is an insult, should easily be a 10 star!

Absolutely amazing and knowledgeable. Helped me salvage my most expensive lens where the filter shattered and was lodged. Thank you so much:)
