What customers wrote in our store survey
“It’s honestly kind of amazing that a place like Unique Photo exists right here in New Jersey. In a time when most camera stores have disappeared or moved entirely online, Unique Photo is still a physical space where photographers and filmmakers can walk in, test gear, ask real questions, attend classes, rent professional equipment, and actually connect with a creative community.”
“Excellent. Pure fun. Great shooting events, great variety of classes, great camaraderie. … In the sales area I received lots of patience and direct answers to my questions. I had many because I'm new to mirrorless cameras. …”
“Outstanding customer service! Alex went above and beyond by taking the time to help me better understand my current camera and showing me various used lenses. His patience and expertise made all the difference. I ended up purchasing the lens he recommended, and I couldn’t be happier with my new lens. …”
