Newark Camera Shop — Attraction in Newark

We just talked about the photo size, the difference size between American one and Chinese one. I never asked for other specifications. I downloaded and uploaded the original directly that you sent me. I didn't use the American passport photo version . It's not because of the specifications or crops. It's because of the poor quality of the photo. The hair part is blurry …the photo format is resulting in low resolution, blurring, and lack of clarity.

Here is the official response:

Response from the Embassy and Consulates General: Hello! Currently uploaded portrait photo: the photo format is compressed, resulting in low resolution, blurring, and lack of clarity. Please upload the original portrait photo in the window of "Photo" or "Supplementary Documents Required by the Embassy after the Preliminary Examination" in the app. You can also use the shooting function of the app to take a picture of your portrait. Thank you and good luck!

Note: CVS photo or Walgreens photo can provide more professional-quality...

A Rare Gem for Photographers

In a world dominated by online orders and zero customer support, Newark Camera Shop is a refreshing and much-needed throwback to genuine, knowledgeable service—especially for professionals.

From the outside, the shop’s signage boasting “Since 1935” might lead you to assume it’s all vintage film gear—and you’d be right. They have an incredible selection of film and vintage equipment. But thats not ALL they have!

Step inside, and you’ll find so much more. I came in with a broken mirrorless Sony A7 IV, unsure if they could even help. Mike, the owner, showed me to the newer section of the store filled with modern cameras from every major brand. He took in my camera, and within a few weeks, he had the shutter fixed and everything running perfectly again.

Mike is incredibly friendly, helpful, and truly knows his stuff. The whole team is fast, efficient, and welcoming. I’m so glad they’re in the neighborhood.

If you’re a photographer hobbyist or pro, you owe it to...

I visited this store because of the positive reviews and because I love supporting local small businesses. I dropped off a veteran photo of my father in law to be colorized and made into a 4x6 to surprise my husband and place in a frame with his flag and various medals. I dropped off the photo on a Thursday and was told that it should be ready by the following Mon/Tuesday at the latest. Today is Friday- a little over a week from when I dropped off the photo. I just returned from the store to pick up the finished photo and it hadn't even been touched yet. The older gentlemen that was there was apologetic, but unfortunately I asked for my photo back because that's just not good business. I would have appreciated a call to inform it was not ready. I will not return...
