Popped into Cameraworld after an email conversation about trading in some gear for a new lens. Richard was very helpful throughout the process and the trade-in was hassle-free. 1st class service! Thank you.

Cape Towns hidden gem! A friend, who bought his own kids cameras from these guys, bought my daughter a refurbished Nikon camera for her birthday and I went to fetch it in-store (with my excited daughter in tow!)The selection and purchasing was all done remotely as said friend lives far away. Derek was our go-to guy - and the team I met in store were amazing too. Polite, kind, professional and very knowledgeable. Ive been back multiple times to buy additional lenses - and got great advice (and price!) every time.A seamless, spot-on, high-quality online transaction for something as specialized and pricey as a camera is worth a thousand gold stars!They do printing too :) Id rather drive past the busy mall shops to this treasure trove tucked away in the heart of downtown Bellville!

I ordered a camera on line only to be told that the camera I ordered was sold in the shop shortly before I placed the order online. The sales team were very apologetic about it. A few days later I received an email form them advising that they had received in stock another camera. I bought the camera. To have a business show the kind of customer service that I received is unheard of. To have a company actually come back to you when they said they would is mind blowing. As someone who teaches customer service, they are doing what a company should be doing in keeping customers happy and more importantly keeping customers. Even though I live in Johannesburg and they are in Cape Town if you need anything related to photography go to them.

Having always referred people to them , I somehow never managed to get there until today. A very knowledgeable and helpful bunch of people, and fantastic stock levels, with an eagerness to order any bits should you need something in special or quirky.Their 2nd stuff is also in good nick and very well priced.I will definitely be making the drive to the nothern suburbs again.

Dear camera friends. As a novice and inexperienced person when it gets to cameras, I had a lot of doubt finding someone who will be able to assist finding/identifying the correct camera for what I would like to achieve. Needless to say I phoned a lot of businesses without the necessary satisfaction, or comfortable feeling. All suddenly changed when I called Cameraworld in Bellville. Who!! Within no time I just knew I found the necessary proffesionals. Richard not only listened to my needs and questions, he guided me all the way till we identified the exact equipment. I felt comfortable, convinced and very excited during the process. The best of all, I stay about 450km from Cape Town!!!!!!!. Im not even in the shop at all!!.. I received my parcel within no time. All equipment and accessories is of very high quality!! Must say I am a happy chappy. Thanks Cameraworld. And in specific Richard. I will refer each and everyone to you guys.....

First class service. I emailed Cameraworld regarding a Fuji lens I could not find anywhere else. Despite suppliers not being able to provide an estimate when new stock would be arriving due to the pandemic, Derick at Cameraworld managed to source one, gave me a call first thing in the morning and had it packaged and ready to ship straight after. Really happy with the purchase, and with the excellent customer service. Will certainly buy from Cameraworld again

After looking a long time for the most suitable camera gear for my new film and media business; I found no place better to get help from then Camera world.I was helped by Richard who is highly knowledgeable about the gear he sells and has great passion to see hes clients walk out happy after every purchase.I know a lot about cameras and so on but even so I learnt a lot after being helped by Richard.He is patient and was willing to hold a prospective conversation for gear with me on the phone until eventually helping me find what best gear for me.Heck he even went as far as to personally deliver a camera lens to me in his after hours after I had previously made a few purchases with him at Camera World.Top notch company and top notch employees.Keep up the good work.

It was such a treat doing business with Cameraworld!! We traded in our camera and bought a used camera. It wasnt even a very expensive camera we bought, but we were treated so well. We got a very good deal on both cameras. And we live 230 kilometres from Bellville. They arranged for our camera to be collected and had the new one delivered. No hassles and so quick! Im truly amazed and so very happy that we discovered Cameraworld. What an absolute pleasure doing business with Derick and Cameraworld.

Ive engaged with a few camera shops and bought products from them. I can easily say that you guys are the best! Never have issues with orders online, you are lightning fast, communicate effectively and most recently I enquired about special ordering a WU-1B. You are the only shop that made the effort to procure one for me. And as a bonus, it seems you have successfully done so. Thanks very much for the absolutely incredible service guys! Love doing business with you and will continue to do so.

I went to Camera World to sell a camera I was no longer using (after a very disappointing experience at Orms where I would have been robbed had I not known any better).They were extremely friendly and made me feel at ease with the whole process.The shop is clean and everyone who works there was very professional. They also offered me a great price for my camera and all accessories, and bought it on the spot. If you need to sell or buy camera gear I would definitely recommend them! Dont even waste your time anywhere else.

Review №34

The service was fantastic - and this is not the first time. I contacted them in the afternoon after 2pm, ordered a lens and did an EFT. They called back the courier (who had already collected goods for dispatch) and by 5pm I had the waybill. The lens arrived by 4pm the following day - and this was an outlying area. Significantly fast! They are brilliant, and their couriers are too - nothing is too much trouble. The lens of course is perfect. Well done!

These guys are far and away the nicest photographic business to deal with. Without deriding the main opposition I have found Derek and his team to be consistently fairer priced on goods and services, and far more down to earth. True value and true values are the name of the game here.

Review №36

Give them 10 stars for 5 is simply not enough!!! The service that I have received from this company is unparalleled to any out there.Not only did they handle my every enquiry professionally but they definitely went the extra mile with my trade in. I have been a photographer for well over 15 years, which means that I have worked with many of the camera companies out there. And I can honestly say that I would never use another company again.Anwar was my go to person, and he was efficient, knowledgable and incredibly helpful from the first general enquiry of how to sell my old gear, to the last details of when I can expect my brand new camera to arrive at my doorstep. Seriously, there was not a thing that was too much to ask of him and his team.I would highly recommend any photographer out there to make use of Cameraworld. They are just such a pleasure to work with!! As for me, I am already placing my next order with them...

I wanted to sell old camera equipment that I could not sell myself. I went to Cameraworld in Bellville where I was treated as the most important client to date. The staff were super helpful, knew the products very well and gave advice without pushing a specific brand. I ended buying the amazing Fujifilm Xt-3 and a Canon SX70SH. I highly recommend Cameraworld. Derick and his team deserve our support. Did I mention they carry a huge amount of stock?

I can highly recommend Cameraworld in Bellville for any photographic equipment, printing and support you might need. The team at Cameraworld is extremely knowledgeable and go above and beyond what you would expect from any retailer. They always go to great lengths to advise me on the options available and in this way ensure that I make informed decisions. What I appreciate most about the team, expertly led by Derick, is their commitment to after sales service and support. It is a rare find.

Recently found product I was looking for from a company called Cameraworld who I have not used before. The request was quite niche as I needed a macro lense to digitise neg and slides.The first choice did not work out and Cameraworld suggested an alternative, swopped out same day not to mention responding to emails after hours... most impressed with there extraordinary professionalism and looking forward to a refreshing relationship with a company unlike the self centered and arrogant competitors we have had to endure.Independent FilmmakerCapetowncameraman.com

They have some really nice gear advertised. However they dont seem to reply via their online contact form. I am still waiting for my order to process. I have never ordered from them before. Wanted to test if they would honour their orders placed. But I have no update regarding the order. I had placed it over a week ago. Thanks for your response. A year later. I must have still been hyped up on black Friday deals rolling over. Some advise. Dont list products as R0.00. By law. If I walk passed a car with a price tag of R20 000 instead of R200 000 and I go in to purchase it. By law they have to give it to me as advertised. (An owner of a car dealer told me this himself.) Stay safe in this crazy times.

I simply give them a one star rating because you cant walk in the shop ready to buy something you saw online as they might have sold it and failed to remove it from the item from the website . Sooo it becomes a bummer when youre told its sold in store . Other than that rather call and find out if they still have the item to avoid any disappointments .
