Dean's cameras is an outstanding place to have your camera serviced and/or repaired. Im NOT a camera expert. I have a Nikon D90 that's been in good working order. After visiting Dean, camera works even better ( he serviced it twice). I brought in a few lenses and Dean gave me great advice when to use them. I live in South OC, but for me it's worth the drive up. He's fair and will tell what he'll do for tour camera. Give him a shot, I believe you won't be disappointed.

Easy to understand agreement for camera repair of most models. Quality tests during consult for 7-14 day repair. Revived a 1980s camera for college courses.

I dropped my vintage sony TRV camcorder off here, it was over an hour drive away from me and i thought all of the time and money i spent would not be worth it in the end. However, Dean did an excellent job at fixing my camera, even better than it’s previous form. I had a broken cassette loader and an error code and even though parts were hard to source for this camera, he fixed it for a great price. I am so happy i was suggested this place and Dean takes pride in his work and handles customers very well. Worth the drive there and back, i would do it again!

He’s very respectful but Dean held my Mamiya 645 Pro with a stuck mirror for over a year. I called every couple months for updates but he never made any progress. I believe he had good intentions but my camera got lost in his pile of cameras to repair.

Recently had to have my wife's Nikon and my Canon cameras repaired and Dean performed miracles on both! Thank you. Dean!

Dean expertly inspected my Nikon FM2 film camera including a slightly out of spec frame body (bent!) and damaged transfer shaft among other items. Within 24 hours he was able to fix everything, clean it up remove all dust and grit from 30+ years through the viewfinder, and even fix up some cosmetic damage. Lastly, replaced my foam light seals with felt. Shutter and light meter calibration too. All for a fair price, especially given the speed of turnaround. I may have saved money doing it myself or finding some other shop but Dean is clearly an expert and I'm glad to support his work!

Brought my Sony a7ii in to see why my lens was wobbly and and he immediately brought it in and repaired it and had it ready for me the next day! Amazing person and great customer service, for my professional photography needs I will continue to visit dean for cleanings and repairs to my camera gear!

Dean is not an honorable business owner. I'm writing this for my friend because I broke her camera and tried to hire Dean to look at it. He has otherwise great reviews so I thought it would be a good experience to try before mailing it to Canon. Dean said he required a $20 deposit for diagnosis, fine. He took the camera and carefully noted some serial numbers to identify it before we left. He called days later and said he couldn't fix it, so we went to pick it up and collect our deposit. He gave us the camera back IN PIECES in a ziplock bag...complete with loose screws and chipboards and all the innards exposed rattling around in the bag. He then wanted to keep the $20 deposit because of "all the work he put into it". This was a totally uncalled for, we were furious for the unexpected way to receive the camera back. He reluctantly gave us the $20 and we left upset and felt taken advantage of. Did he keep a part he took out of the camera for another thing? There's now way to know if all the parts are even there. I should've mailed it to Canon directly. Red flags from how dingy and dusty his lobby was. This was before covid and I should've written the review sooner. I'll see if I can find a photo to upload.

Dean’s camera is a wonderful haven for photographers. He just serviced my grandpa’s Rolleiflex (1st gen) and brought it to pristine condition. Plus he’s super nice and friendly!

finding dean's camera repair shop was such a blessing! a tiny piece of my camera broke so the backdoor wouldn't close, I was really bummed about it but thankfully it only took him about a minute to find out what was going on with it. he made a metal piece to replace the old one so it'd be more resistant and gave me some tips since my camera now is extremely rare. thank you dean for your hard work :)

Stop looking bring your gear here! Dean is the man! Super knowledgeable, fun dude that loves what he does. Genuinely cares about his work and wants to keep you from coming back; all repairs and replacements are meant to last a lifetime. Quick turn around compared to other places that normally ship out your equipment to a 3rd party. Highly recommend
