Tuttle Cameras — Local services in Long Beach

I'm a 41 year old woman & am to old for attitude first of all. I was talking some young guy with the beard (wished I knew his name) I was asking about getting my camera cleaned. I then asked that if my camera were to be damaged while in their care, it would be covered by them if I decided to let them clean it. As in if they dropped it or crack it etc. anything shoots it's my camera & not cheap. Not a bad a bad question to ask. Of course I want to know it's covered & in good hands. Who wouldn't?! I'm sure mr. sarcastic if he were on the other side of the counter would be asking the same questions. His response to me was, I mean, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow so once it walks out the door that's not in us. WTH?! Okay & your point is way off! I'm not asking you to cover it once I leave guys. I asked while in your store & care. Yeah dude! No kidding. None of us are promised tomorrow, but back to my question about my camera?! Then he was just totally rude and treated me like I was stupid & no respect. In my head I'm thinking why make such unnecessary comments & be so difficult. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Either was Samy's will clean your camera for free or if it's really bad 35$ these guys here want 65$ to do nothing. Just a bunch of young kids in there which explains the lack of professionalism. Anyways, he way off topic and still want to know do you cover the camera while it's in your shop being fixed if something were to happen?! Just a simple answer will do fine. I don't need your sarcastic snooty remarks that you could get hit by a bus as soon as you walked out of your shop. The hell that got to do with anything?! I'm taking about in your store in your care! Common sense man! Then to top it off he wanted to change me 65$ to clean one spot off the sensor. I then went home called around & found Justin at Samy's. It's a little bit of a drive, but well worth it. They only charge 35$ for a cleaning at Samy's! And as I only had one speck on dirt, Justin, at Samy's in Santa Anna, didn't even change me that. Had the service that has long been forgotten for putting the customers first. I'll never be back to Tuttles & will be buying & taking photography classes with Samy's from here on out. Samys will get all my photography business.. Unless in the NYC area then B&H is also a good place. Take the extra time & go to the men & women at Samy's where they care about having satisfied customers walk out of their doors. Very disappointed in my local Long Beach photo shop Tuttle & would recommend to stay away...

I am writing this review on behalf of the excellent service given to me by Eric and Tuttle Cameras. 6 months ago I needed a battery for my Canon 7D MK II. I have long been weary of secondary market batteries so when I called I specifically requested a LPN-E6N battery. The clerk told me they had one so I drove down to the store and when I spoke to the clerk he handed me a second market battery. I was pretty upset to drive all the way down there after I called and specifically asked for the Canon battery. I posted a review about this experience and the next day Eric called me him. He told me to make up for this experience he would let me use the Pro Master battery at no cost and to write a review after 6 months. I am writing to let consumers know that after 6 months this battery is superior to the Canon battery as it holds a charge longer and also charges quicker. A big thanks to Eric and Tuttle Cameras. I recommend this store to every camera enthusiast especially those who might be looking for their first camera.. Eric will not...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Long Beach Classic — And Absolute Artists at Photo Restoration

Tuttle Cameras has been around forever — and for good reason. It’s a true Long Beach staple for anyone who loves photography, whether you’re into the latest gear or old-school film.

I brought in a faded, damaged photo from the 1970s, not really knowing what was possible. What they gave back wasn’t just a cleaned-up version — it was a fully restored, color-enhanced re-creation that looked like it had been taken in perfect light, yesterday. I don’t know what kind of digital sorcery they do back there, but it’s impressive.

They didn’t just preserve a memory — they brought it back to life.

Inside the shop, you’ll find everything from camera bags and film to rental gear and expert advice. The staff are knowledgeable, kind, and never make you feel silly for asking questions.

Highly recommend — especially if you have old photos you thought were...
