PJ's Camera & Photo Supply — Local services in Glen Ellyn

This place is great! I was gifted a Canon Rebel T6i from my mother and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. (For back story, I'm creating a video studio for work and want higher quality, more control than what I can get w/ a phone). No matter what I tried the pictures were blurry when I had it on the tripod. Figured something was dirty and I didn't want to mess w/ it. I live right around the corner from here so I came in, fully expecting a slight condescending experience. I couldn't have been more wrong. The woman there spent 20m walking me through the camera, explaining that the stabilization on the lens will make it blurry b/c it keeps "trying to stabilize" it and that will make the images blurry. I never would have thought about that. She walked me through different setups, explained basic care and all the lenses and accessories. She was amazing. At the end I tried to give her money for the time and she refused. Once I know what I need (like a 50mm lens) I'll be back to...

I was referred here by a Costco employee after Costo closed it's photo center. It was wonderful as I had begun to work on curating lots of my family's memories, digitally. Well, I called them and was told that negatives to digital (CD) were $5.99 per roll and 3 rolls would fit on one CD, so I began submitting my negatives. Last week I submitted four rolls, they called to let me know they were ready, got there it was $31.00, for four rolls. When I asked the older woman had they gone up, she just gave me a blank stare along with a very dry answer. It was the price of all of my future business. While I know prices have gone up as a result of COVID, but an increase of more than half is abusive and unfair. Thank God I found another option. It's sad though because greed won over integrity. I would've been a loyal customer...
