Can anyone recommend a local camera store?

JWPhoto · 07-15-2008, 05:05 PM

My camera is still having issues and after talking with Canon’s support, they recommend that I send it to them for calibration. My camera is no longer under warranty and I do not want to pay them and be without a camera for a few weeks if there is a local place that can take care of it. If anyone can recommend a local store I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jonah

call up kenmore camera and ask them where they would send a canon to be repaired. They told me once where it was - somewhere in seattle - and i can't remember the name of it. it was either that place or send it to the canon factory in cali, which i opted for when mine crapped out on me, and it came back in less than a week.

kenmore camera: 425-485-7447 or 1-888-485-7447

Photo-Tronics does good work. They are down near Glazer's at 513 Dexter Avenue N.

Camera Tech on Market Street in Ballard is also supposed to be OK, but I've never dealt with them.

I ended up going to Camera Clinic in Shoreline and they took a look at my camera for free. They were really cool and I would recommend them to anyone needing work done. It looks like the issue is in my brand new lens... I took a few quick pics out my front door, check out the difference from my old to new lens:

New - 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

Old - 70-200mm f/4L
