I’ve been going to Bedford since I picked up my first camera and by far this is the easiest place to shop at with the biggest selection and the most knowledgeable staff I always feel like I am getting the best deal and best product possible for the lowest price. If they don’t have what you’re looking for in stock the staff will order the product for you so that you can have what you need in a very reasonable timeframe. Speak with Jen! She has always treated me extremely fair

There’s a reason to visit the professionals at Bedfords! Any time I have a question about anything to do with my camera or accessories, the wonderful people at Bedfords are only too happy to help! Sometimes this is what we need and provides far more benefit and value than any small dollar savings you might think you can get somewhere else. Get in your car and go visit them! Plus they are super friendly! Thank you all, but especially Maria & Martin!!

Chris Harper

I love going to Bedford with my family! My dad has bought several items from here, and Jennifer has been extremely helpful with any questions we had, and she even photographed my sisters wedding! All in all it is a very friendly staff, and a great environment to even go and just hang out at.

Cherie Duffy

I love Bedford Camera. They are so knowledgeable and helpful. If you are in the market for a new camera or an upgrade or even if you have questions about equipment I highly recommend Bedford. I am an amateur photographer but they treat me with respect and are always offering helpful ideas with a positive, cheerful and sometimes humorous attitude. I highly recommend Bedford for all experienced photographers, amateur photographers and everyone in between.

Bedford camera in OKC is the ONLY place I go for photography equipment! Used or new, they always know exactly what I need and help me decide what is best for me and my business. Martin is my “go to guy!” He knows me by name when I walk in and never disappoints! He is there to answer questions, help me make decisions when fixing or upgrading equipment, and always delivers when I’m in a pinch with my busy schedule. I don’t even purchase equipment online because I know the customer service I’m going to get for the life of the equipment is far more valuable than saving a dollar on some online deal or buying from someone I don’t know. I’ll never do business anywhere else!

Aubrey Lake

Bedford is my go to place to get all my film developed! Great price and great quality. Super convenient to get my photos since they upload them to my account. Also, they have the friendliest and most helpful staff!!! 10/10 recommend this place for all your film needs

Garrison Brown

I get film developed here all the time. The team is very helpful and I always get a quick turnaround. I love the way they develop and plan on using them forever. Before I went to Bedford, I was sad, uninterested, and lacking confidence in my photography skills. After Bedford, my eye sight improved, my shots got bolder, and my subjects seem to come to life. I stopped taking my shots for granted, and started shooting with a sharp eye and a newly found purpose. Bedford has changed my life, and I will truly never be the same.

I’m new to photography and editing. I came in to print some photos and get some advice on editing. Most of the team at Bedford helped show me tricks to edit and walk me through the process. Loved hanging out with them and learning from them. Photos printed great as well. Definitely coming back.

Allie Shinn

WOW! FIVE STARS! I wish I could give 10 stars. What an incredible shop. We are so lucky to have these wonderful people in Oklahoma City. Honestly, Bedford is the best part of Oklahoma. I would leave Oklahoma if it weren’t for Bedford OKC. Shout out to pink hair, mustache boy, and Aldo. They always know what film I need and somehow I walk out with a billion rolls and no money but still feel happy. Thank god for pink hair, mustache boy, and Aldo. Bless.

James Sutton

I had tried on-line printing of wedding photos. They came out marginal. We went to Bedford Camera specifically Jerry Sutberry. The prints that he made were unbelievable. Best quality I have ever seen. Plus everyone in the store is great to work with. Highly recommend!!!

Crystal Messner

I have been taking classes with Martin & I am so pleased with everything we learn. It's a laid back/hands on environment & I always leave learning way more than expected. I love that you also have to capability to purchase anything you learn about in class( if you want. No pressure to do so.) at the same place & they take time to teach you all about your equipment. Each class I finish I'm anxiously looking forward to beginning my next one.

Jaret and Brittany Roberto

Camera stores are hard to come by these days and I feel so blessed to have one in my city!! Bedford has an amazing selection of gear!! Drea and Madelyn were so helpful and made my experience here an amazing one! Definitely will be back!

Cowboy Church

Hands down best place I’ve been. The quality is top notch as is the service. When you walk in you feel like part of a family. I will always use Bedfords and I recommend it to anyone starting out, or anyone who’s been in the industry for years. They arnt just selling cameras, they care about quality and care about your ability to capture life with your set up.

Logan Miller

Madelyn helps me most of the time. She’s a local photographer as well so it’s nice to have someone with experience help me with my purchases and film development. Good turn around time on film and the prints are great.

Kaitlin Stcyr

The staff at Bedfords is incredible! Martin, Bill, Maria specifically always go above and beyond to help when I stop by! So thankful for a local camera store and a staff who is willing to go above & beyond for their customers!

Carol Bodine

Bill was kind and patient, and answered all my questions. They truly were so wonderful and I will be back again soon. Thank you for making my Christmas shopping so easy!

Trina Arnold

The only place to go for all your photography and video gear! Customer service is outstanding as Maria has been my go to person for sales for several years! For the best prices, training, and printing needs, Bedfords is the only place to go for my photography needs!

Richard Crowe

Needed a last minute gift printed on christmas eve and the staff at Bedford made the process super easy and I was in and out in 15 minutes. I highly recommend! Thanks and Merry Christmas

Reyann Taylor

Super helpful and nice. Took the time to help me and answer all my questions! Definitely would come back to them for any camera stuff in the future 👍💛 …

Ricky Loomis

The man who helped us made you feel like you were stupid and you didn't belong there (as far as the rest of the people working there, they were very friendly and helpful).The thing is, if he didn't make us feel he was looking down on us, I would have bought several pieces of photography equipment to use in my everyday life. I also must say they do have just about everything you would need in photography.

Daniel Morris

This place was Dream Land!!! They had really good deals on their Cameras, etc… Their customer service was also phenomenal!!! All the employees where very knowledgeable about the gear they had, like what specs they have, etc… I will come again!

Jaret Roberto

Bedford feels like a magical home away from home. There's nothing like coming in and being welcomed right away. I worked with Trip on finding the gear I needed and he was very knowledgeable when it came to cameras.

Jim Smith

Bedford has the best customer service and they are great at helping you get the best of your photography. The Photocon they host each year on OKC is the best I've ever attended and I've been to several photography conferences across the country.

Erica Morris

I’ve came across Bedford when I looking for a higher quality print shop and they did not disappoint. Andrea was so kind and helpful and I was very impressed with the gentleman Aldo, he was very quick to get my order out in time

Ciara Jacobs

Bedford's 3rd Thursday Photo Walks are really fun and a great way for newbie photographers to gain some experience and education! 10 out of 10, would recommend! 😁 …

Kevin Batts

This is my go to camera store in Oklahoma. Admittedly, I'm more of an Ebay Facebook marketplace tech consumer. If I need quality products the same day this place is the only answer in the OKC metro. They're knowledgeable and will give you what you need. They have great rental rates for lenses and other gear just ask. They keep a wide selection of used gear as well and the prices are very reasonable. They offer classes and events mostly for photographers but every now and then they'll show us video guys love. They have an army of people here ready to help. They have a location in Tulsa as well. They do prints but I haven't used that service but it seems legit.

Alan Deloera

Aldo was really helpful and insightful whenever I asked him about film. Super awesome selection of anything photography! 10/10 recommend for anyone in Okc.

Kameron J. Williams

Visiting from out of town and wantes to upgrade my camera. Found out about bedfords and called then came in. I was extremely indecisive and had multiple issues but Maria stayed patient,understanding and gently guided me to my final destination of the z7ii. Will definitely be returning next time im in town

Alyssa Lackey

The team here is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. My experiences have always been so pleasant and I am always beyond happy with the work that they do!

Darian Saucedo Cruz

I really enjoy coming into the store. The staff always makes me feel so welcome! I love having a local spot to develop my film.

Samantha Dyer

Rick is a very kind and caring person. Full of so much Knowledge and a friendly face when you walk into the doors.

Daniel Duffy

Eric at Bedford camera is the best. Super knowledgeable gentleman. Don't miss out on the greatest deals in OKC.

Alexandrea Eischeid

Bedford is my go to local camera store! The staff is super friendly and very knowledgable. I know if I have any questions about equipment that I am interested in, they will surely have an honest answer. I regularly have my lenses calibrated with them and it's always such a help knowing I won't miss focus during my sessions. Love this store!

Merry Smith

Extremely friendly and courteous staff. Bedford's is just simply the best at what they do!

Sergio Covarrubias

Great store with beautiful people. The staff is knowledgeable and professional. It’s also a big plus that the store engages with the local community.

Ryan Wells

Always a great experience at Bedford. Martin is my go to guy because of his knowledge and professionalism.

Cherryl L Seard

It is never a bad experience when I come to Bedford cameras I find what I’m looking for, and the employees are extremely knowledgeable, cool, place to shop

Clay Cowett

Best spot in town for film services. Cheapest film development/scanning , and best film selection compared to others in town as well as online.

Ellie Reimer

Fantastic service ,great deals. Answered all my questions. Bonus gift for a stocking.

Sai Johnson

Robert Jacobs

The 3rd Thursday photo walks are always fun! I appreciate getting to try new gear!

Mark Hanstein

Jennifer was extremely helpful. A very pleasant person to help you with your camera needs!

Melissa Reed

New customer as of today. Ordered prints online and the quality of the product is AMAZING!!! We will be using them for future events!

Alison Lovelace

I was packing for my much anticipated trip west when I realized my camera was having issues. After making three other stops along my journey and receiving no help at all, I called these guys. I stopped in and they help me diagnose my camera issue and resolve it! I had a wonderful experience and Bill helped save my trip! I can’t thank you enough!!! Wonderful business.

Kara Payne

Great Staff, Great Advice! @Bedfords OKCity @Martin McGrew - thanks for helping my young man! We’ll see you again soon!

Chris Williams

Always have a great experience here. So much knowledge and willingness to help their customers. Bedfords sets the golden standard for customer service for a camera store.

Lance Newsom

I have used Bedford Camera & Video in OKC for years for new and used lens purchases, lens rentals, quality printing services & camera gear, and I couldn't be happier with the service and products I've received. The staff are friendly and informative, but not pushy at all. They have always given me the information and the space to make the purchase decisions that are right for me. A special thanks to Martin McGrew who has been my go-to staff member since I first stepped into the store years ago. Keep on keepin' on, Bedford in OKC. I'll see you again soon!

LK Hood

Amazing and encouraging staff who are very knowledgeable and helped us print perfect photos!

Ed Movinon

What a great place to shop! Personal service lots of stock. I always find what I need. I wanted a certain camera for a gift but they were out so I got a different camera. 45 minutes later the camera I wanted came in on buster brown. I get a call go exchange for the camera I wanted and Merry Christmas. You don't get that at a box store.

Rob Waters

Excellent store with helpful and professional team to help you along your photography journey.

Colton Hotvedt

Always helpful and knowledgeable customer service and a great selection of photo gear!

Mallory Mcshane

We called Bedford for some guidance on completing my sisters I-9 and Martin went ABOVE AND BEYOND. He calmed her nerves on the phone and said he would do whatever he could to help. This morning he helped her sort through documents and told her to “Go kill it!” in her new role. This world needs more Martin’s in the world and I’m so thankful to know Oklahoma has him! P.S. We’ll be back for toys for our boys!

CJ Alexander

Great atmosphere everyone is friendly and knowledgeable of whatever your needs are, also Jennifer is the best help!!

Courtney Goss

Martin at Bedford Camera and Video is the real deal! He’s patient, kind, and more than willing to help you solve any problem. Go to Bedford Camera and Video ask for Martin and he’ll make sure you’re properly taken care of.

Kelsey Logsdon

Martin helped me out with my broken lens. He was super friendly, efficient, and did everything he could to help! I will highly recommend Bedford to all my photography friends!

Quinton Aiken

Always great… Top notch customer service and fair prices.

Brian Sump

Had an amazing experience with Bedford. I ordered a Canon R5 through Steve and his team after a strong recommendation by a world renown photographer friend of mine. The communication was superb, pricing was spot on and while other websites keep extending false promises, taking months and months to fulfill orders, Bedford followed through almost exactly to the day of the expected ship date. Cannot recommend them highly enough and will continue to purchase here.

Benjamin Gum

I rented a camera from here and couldn’t be more please with the service! This is the best place in town for any photo/camera/video needs. I will definitely be back, and won’t be spending my money anywhere else in town other than here!

Julie Coughlan

Bedford Camera has provided me unbelievable service over the last 5 years since I began my photography business. I first made contact with Martin (my photography guru) whom has become my go to person- His product and photography knowledge, his customer service skills, and his character are all around the best I’ve found in the industry. You think you you’ll get the same thing but “cheaper” on Amazon/ online- well I’m here to tell you what your trading: 1) a physical location and a person to call on or visit with any questions or concerns you may have with your purchase 2) Promotions and deals that are only available to the store through the camera companies 3) Classes and hands on practice weekly on varying topics within photography 4) The ability to touch and feel and test the equipment with your own hands 5) The knowledge of the staff to ask questions to about the equipment or items you are interested in 6) See what your buying before you purchase with a decent return policy that doesn’t require you to contact the seller- purchase a return label- package and ship the items and wait weeks for a refund. So much more convenient. 7) A network and relationships with other photographers in the area that can provide even more knowledge, practice, and the potential to grow your business 8) Rent equipment for a one time use or to try out a new lens/camera/light to determine if you’d like to purchase in the future. 9) Order and pick up prints on-site with a quick turnaround time and the ability to check quality in person. All of this for possibly a slightly higher price... BUT not usually! Bedford has price matched for me many times before though typically they are right on point with all of their online competitors. I cannot tell you enough what a great decision it was to step foot in this store. Martin has shared more information/ tips/ tricks with me that might have taken me years to learn on my own or possibly that I’d just never have known and been a worse photographer for it. I am better because of him! He has expanded my abilities and grown me in my field in a way I’d never have expected. He’s even lent me his own personal equipment and spent his own time helping and coaching me through tough shoots. I am forever grateful for him and Bedford! If you are even remotely considering purchasing camera equipment or dabbling in this field for business or just fun- don’t walk- RUN TO BEDFORD! Ask for Martin! You’ll never regret it!

Morgan Domingos

Decent rental prices- and gave me a good deal when I needed to keep the lense a day longer. I’m not sure if they have set prices because I called a few different times trying to decide but the total amount changed with different people I spoke to for the same lense and same length of time. Amazing quality lense and was great for deciding if I wanted to purchase this lense.

Kaydon Payne

Martin @Beford’s in Oklahoma City, awesome help, great advice. Can’t wait to come back!

Deonta Flowers

Great customer service, all my questions they answered. Very quick.

Jonathan Meyer Oklahoma Magician

I recommend Bedford Camera and Video! They are honest people. When I called - "Emily" answered the phone. I had a tough question so she needed an hour to research the answer. SHE GOT BACK TO ME WITHIN AN HOUR and told me how to alter the equipment I CURRENTLY OWN. This prevented me from having to spend $$$$$ on new equipment. This of course, lost a sale for them. They COULD have told me different and made a sale. But they were honest with me. All they got out of their honesty was this good review. I will buy from Bedford Camera and Video from now on! Thank you Emily!

Diana Bittle

I purchase ALL of my camera gear at Bedford Camera and Video for many reasons. First, and foremost, they're local. Many prices are set by the manufacturer, so their prices are the same as everyone else. Second, service & expertise. When I mess some setting up, or need help, I can just haul in there with my gear and they'll help me out. It doesn't matter what the question is, they have always been able to help me. Should you chose to buy from a big box store or online somewhere, you aren't going to be able to run in and ask for help. Box store employees don't have the knowledge to answer your questions, and online...emails? That's not going to work in a pinch. You'll be on your own to figure out your gear and how to use it. Third, the people. Since I shop there quite frequently, I have really gotten to know most of the staff there. They are a pleasure to chat with, and are always willing to listen to my ideas. It's a great place, with great people. I highly recommend!

Aaron Taylor

Great place always awesome customer service and help! You can’t go wrong by going here!

Adam Gutierrez

Best camera in the entire world. The workers are amazing and so are the boss folks.

D Nathan

Extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, the VERY BEST in the industry! Don't waste your time and money in that Bezos Jungle or some other chain store site. Shop local and get the personal service that the mega-corporations could never provide!

Dustin Gwin

Absolutely love Bedfords camera. They have an awesome stock and knowledgeable staff with years of industry experience. Highly recommend them to both the amateur and pro.

Kirsten Stalford

Love Bedford Camera!! The entire staff is so helpful - my favorite go to guy is Martin McGrew. He's helped me no matter what kind of crazy questions I've brought his way over the years. Shop local. You'll love this place and the customer service you'll receive.

Mitchell Hastings

Amazing staff, always above and beyond for the photography community.

Dragon (drag0nmaster)

Love this place, it's about the only place around that I know of that you can get film development still. Bought a camcorder and tripod here. Got a good deal!!! The staff was super helpful.

Tracy Nguyen

The staff was incredibly helpful and sweet! Matt helped me get my camera fixed under 5 minutes. I definitely recommend this place!

Angelo C.

Great photography store. People are very helpful and they have good classes, some free some not. Lots of rental equipment as well and prices comparable with the usual names. This store can serve both professionals and hobbyists!

Don Risi

Great staff, all willing to go the extra mile to get what you need. Offer great classes, photowalks, and the like. They aren't the biggest camera store in the world, but they are the best. I ordered a virtually impossible to get lens from them, and had it in 2 weeks, while other people across the country waited. Just outstanding service.

Mary Katherine Barrett

Great customer service. They greet you as soon as you walk in! We had some seriously old photos (some from the 20's) copied with touch ups. They came out absolutely ready to frame! My family is from the 'high mountains' in Eastern Tennessee. Seeing a cleared up picture of my great grandfather, grandfather, and my mother as a baby, sitting on an old porch one playing a fiddle, the other an acoustic guitar. Mom was playing with her dog. Amazing job on these photos!!

Jim Cameron

Great group of professionals that really are up to speed on all the latest camera gear if you want to upgrade. I've received top notch help figuring out what I needed on my existing camera too. Local and reliable camera store staffed by people that love photography.

Joe Stewart

I recently switched from the big stores to Bedfords. I’ve really enjoyed my experiences at Bedfords OKC. The staff is friendly and helpful. I usually always work with Jennifer or Martin, they are my “go-to” people. Eric has a great staff with Christian, Maria, Emily, Gio and the rest of the team though.

Alayjah K

Love this place! My family and I had been looking for a local place that could safely transfer our old family tapes to DVD. It’s a great and priceless service. The nicest people you’ll meet work there. Would 100% recommend.

Jessi Murray

The red head, I think her name is Lorraine??? What a woman. Love of my life. I gave Bedford all of my $$ thanks to Lorraine. 10/10 best camera establishment ever built

Hayden Krebs

This place was super cool. I've never been to a photography store and Martin was incredibly helpful and polite. He let me try out all kinds of lenses with my camera and told me all the prices. He was very transparent with the business and very honest about his thoughts about gear. I will definitely come back!

David Terry

Woooo!! Martin and the team at Bedford just saved me. I had messed around for a LONG time trying to solve some problems with my Nikon. After a short phone call, that awesome crew sorted all of the issues I'd been having. Thanks for your great work y'all!!

Ron Wright

Great store, awesome service, and fantastic management!

Crystal Mize

Bedford Camera and video helped me find a camera bag for my existing camera. Jen listened to my needs and suggested several options for me. I got what I needed and didn’t feel pressured to buy equipment that I didn’t need or come into the store for. That is much appreciated as I feel sometimes in specialty stores the goal is to have a very high sale and no customer service. Bedford you get the customer service whether you’re just getting a camera bag or a whole new camera set up. Thank you Bedford camera and video

Eve Lawrence

Very knowledgeable staff they also have drones if you want to buy drones and good old Oklahoma company that's been around for years.

Kathy Suttles

Love going here, always friendly, professional and helpful.

Doug Hoke

Best service around and super friendly folks! Went in to have some prints made and rather than just pointing me to a kiosk, they virtually did it for me, walking me me through each step, and then helped pick out the type of paper too.

Mayo Pistola

Bedford Camera is a great store. The staff are very knowledgeable on everything they sell. If they can't fix a camera, they find someone who can. They go the extra mile always. Go in and ask for Maria and you'll be in the best hands!!

Lachlan Wright

Best Camera house I have been to. Dropped some film off to get processed, the staff were very polite and helpful. Have never received service this good in my home town in Australia. Would recommend! Prices are great too.

Ardasha Avery

Great team & atmosphere! Awesome instructors..

Malori Amacher

Exceptional service, positive and supportive staff. 10/10 experience!

Mike Paige

This year I purchased a Fuji X70 from Martin McGrew. He was very knowledgeable and professional in helping me set up and explaining my new camera features. Props to Bedford for having such asset on your staff.

Below Average

They have a huge selection of everything but their prices are astronomical. Their used gear seems fair though. They offer classes which is cool too. I did have a bit of a sour encounter with one of their employees. He made a bit of a condescending remark towards me after I had asked if they had an item with a specific feature. The rest of the folks seemed very nice. I also get negatives developed there and they do a pretty good job. The prices to develop are fair prices so no complaints there. Mind the fact that I'm only getting negatives developed. It sucks their black and white machine is broken but that's the way the cookie crumbles when it comes to film processing. If you need B&W film developed you'd be best doing it your self or sending it off your self. It takes a while to get your negatives back since they have to send it off too. They are well staffed and very knowledgeable and helpful about the stuff they sell. Overall I would still go there but you guys need to have a meeting about courtesy towards customers. If any of you reviewers are complaining about something simple then please educate your self on the basics of photography. If your questions are answered with questions it's because the staff is trying to figure out what your needs are specifically so they can help you find the right product to purchase. You don't want to waste money on something that you are just going to have to return because you didn't provide the right info do you? Then you will just complain and say it is their fault. Which it isn't. @sadie did you maybe consider that you might not actually know what you are talking about? Not trying to be mean but again self education will save you loads of time and frustration.

Jessica Cochran

I am only experienced with the "auto" setting of a camera, point and shoot. I had a problem where it had stopped working. I walked in, there were plenty of staff, excellent customer service, he said I will be right back, and came back in 3 minutes with my camera fixed. He cleaned the lens and gave me some tips. They have classes I will be back to take. I observed other staff taking interest in the customers needs. This place is excellent!!!

Tony Peric

Great camera store with a wide selection and a very knowledgeable staff. Looking forward to spending a lot of my money here on new gear. Prices are very competitive too!

Roger Danks

Took two Nikon speed lights that I couldn't get to turn on. Check the direction of the batteries, replaced with new batteries, thought they were dead. Couldn't understand how both could stop working at the same time. Brought them in, Jennifer turned them on an the screen stayed off. She checked the batteries, no corrosion and they were in the right way. She took the batteries out, put them back in an low and behold it came on. Don't know why or how other than she has the magic touch. Did the same with the second one and much to my amazement it came on. She saved me hundreds due to I didn't have to replace them. She has the magic touch!

David Simerly

I've purchased several pieces of equipment from this store and the customer service is second to none. Each time I've made a purchase Jennifer has helped me. She is a fabulous representative for a great store. I will be making additional purchases.

April Biegler

This place is awesome! And the people that work there are very knowledgeable. They have helped with many projects and recently helped us put together a group of pictures to be prepared for my grandma's funeral service. They were very kind and very understanding of the fact that we were not so organized. A special thank you to Jerry, you were so gracious and patient with my mom and I. I can't tell you how much we appreciate your help!

Ali Doan

They’re always so helpful and have what I need

Marv Halsey

Great positive atmosphere and staff greetings the minute I walk into the store. I shoot medium format film in a "legacy" camera. All the staff, and Martin, have been very helpful with high quality film processing, fresh, refrigerated film stock, and helping me find accessories for my Hasselblad. I couldn't be more pleased with their services and positive, knowledgeable customer orientation.

Quincy Vagell

Competitive pricing, knowledgeable staff. I was recently in the market for a camera upgrade and after seeing an add for a Sony trade-in event at Bedford, I thought I’d check them out. I’ve always made big camera purchases from B&H in the past, but Bedford seemed to have a better deal with the event. Their retail prices are set by the manufacturer, so they were neither high nor low from most competitors, prior to discounts. That means they matched the prices from Sony, B&H, Amazon, etc. I visited Bedford on a cold, icy day and found the store open and inviting with several people on staff, ready to help. I spoke with Bill about the trade-in event and I was nearly shocked to find out that I would be given a $200 bonus discount, just for trading in an old DSLR. I came back immediately with two cameras, lenses and accessories to trade in. While I could have made more money by selling the products on my own, the $200 bonus offer made up for the difference. The whole time, Bill was very honest and courteous about the value they could give me for my equipment. I ended up keeping one of the lenses, since it was still in very good condition and it was worth more to me than he could offer. The camera I wanted was the Sony a7iii, but with a 28-70mm lens kit. It was not in stock at Oklahoma City, but Bill immediately got on the phone with other Bedford locations. A few minutes later, a kit was located at Springfield, MO and it arrived in Oklahoma City about 48 hours later. That was a fast turnaround. Bill was very knowledgeable and gave me plenty of information, including accessories that I might need and service plans of interest. I passed on all of it, but he did reassure me that buying an LAEA4 (adapter that they did not sell) would allow me to use all of my existing A-mount lenses with the new camera. In the process, he was understanding and didn’t try to sell me any new lenses or other items that I didn’t want. Overall, I was satisfied by my experiences at Bedford Camera & Video. They have a huge selection of cameras, photography accessories and other related equipment. Their staff members are helpful and the deal with the trade-in event was better than I could find anywhere, online or in person. Keep in mind that prices are set by the manufacturer here, so they’ll be on par with what you’ll find at most big box stores and online retailers. I came in for a camera kit that they didn’t have, but it was transferred there and ready for me to pick up in just two days!

Jesse Gohier-Fleet

The best service I have ever received from a camera house in the world. Staff were super friendly and helpful and offer competitively priced film stock. Every camera other camera house I walk into feels pretentious but these guys were absolute legends. Wish this place was in my home town of melbourne so I would feel so welcome getting photos developed.

Robert Trawick

Love the staff and products lines carried by the store. Partnering with my local camera shop has been the best decision for my growth as a photographer and as small business owner. It’s funny to me how everyone talks about supporting small business, but they’re constantly buying from big box stores and not supporting our local economy. Have you taken advantage for the classes? Ever heard of PhotoCon or Capture T-Town? The people here truly love photography. And the Free Wifi and Coffee is a bonus! If you want our local economy to be better, then be better supporting the local economy. #BuyLocal

Jennifer Cameron

Top notch customer service! Staff is always eager to help find what we’re looking for. Shipping is reasonable and things always get to us intact and well packaged.

Kathy Shockey

I cannot say enough positive things about this store. Living 4.5 hours away makes it hard to get to the store but I can tell you that all I need to do is pick up the phone and call and they know who I am and listen to what I need and will send me anything I need that day or the next. When I am on my way from Texas to St. Louis I always stop in either going or heading home. Everyone knows my face and welcomes me with a smile. The people that work there know everything you could ever want to know about a camera, whether you are a professional or just a beginner. The quality of their products are top notch, I know you could not go wrong in making Bedford's Camera & Video your to go camera store for treasured photos or equipment!

Amber Sanders

Bedfords in OKC has been so helpful love shopping with them! Bill, Jennifer and Marvin are great to work with!

Sebastian Sterling

Everytime I call or visit the store, I am treated as family! As a photographer, its so easy to talk shop with these fine people, especially since every one of them are professionals! Compliments to Jamie for narrowing down my 1 & 1/2 year search for the perfect Sony camera for the price, her energy, professionalism, always a treat to talk to! :) Maria helped with my search for the camera, answering all of my Q's with ease as only an intelligent woman can! Thank you for all your help & professionalism, you're the best! Thanks to Mike for all the tips, knowledge and just generally being a prominent salesman in an important & treasured market! And a big Thank-You to everyone I may have missed, I appreciate this store's service to the community and the complex & artistic field of photography! A world without photos is one I wouldn't want to be a part of.

Always friendly staff love this place! My prints are always beautiful, Andrea Hernandez is one of my favorites her customer service skills are off the chart! Keep up the good work guys!

Kim Haskin-Smith

Bill was very informative. In fact I ended up purchasing a different camera. One I hadn't researched but suites my needs better then the one I came in for. The extra few minutes Bill took with me made for a better overall experience and a camera I am extremely happy with!

Ryan West

After my re-introduction to film I have started going into Bedford for processing, film, chemicals and more. Their film processing guy can work miracles and always prompt with professional results. The guys and gals behind the counter are always very helpful and knowledgeable, I can get pretty technical and on the off chance I catch someone off guard with a question they will go above and beyond the call to get an answer for me!! Top notch service and I have learned more about film in the last couple of months than a couple of semesters in college. They have plenty of great products on the floor and it is not hard to start a conversation with any of the employees. Highly recommended!

Bedfords in OKC has been my go-to since I started as a hobbyist. That hobby has grown into a career and I trust Bedford’s guidance 100%. Martin McGrew has always been so patient with my ongoing questions and scenarios. Go see him, you won’t be disappointed.

Amanda Nicole

Came in the other day for some advice about some camera equipment i recently purchased from an online store. Christian was extremely helpful and spent alot of time with me. He went above and beyond his duties to make sure i knew how to work my new ocf

Faith4evr

The Bedford employees were very knowledgable and helpful with any questions I had about both my vintage cameras and modern ones. They gave me quotes on the cameras and were even polite enough to let me speak to one of their customers, without an issue, about a camera and lens I had. I ended up selling that camera and lens to that couple and got alot more information on the camera equipment that I will be saving up to get in the future. If you need help just understanding a cameras functions or how to work a specific lens, they are very knowledgable and willing to help. The prices are a little expensive, but, that is going to be the case for much of the photography business.

Nickolas White

Always helpful and great service Jennifer is awesome

JOE WILSON

Kudos to the staff at Bedford...friendly,courteous and most of all knowledgeable! Always eager to answer questions without the pressure to buy! A most welcome attitude appreciated by me and many others. And they have plenty of stock from cameras to lenses to accessories.

Kyle McKinley

Far and away the best resource for photographers in OKC. I've never had a bad experience with any of the staff, even when I was just getting started with photography and had no clue what I was looking for. Martin deserves special mention; he remembered me after my first visit and always makes a point to say hi when I'm there!

Eric Mackey

Man, where do I start! This is the best camera store ever! I wish they had an Emily at every store I go into, life would be so much better!!!! Thank You Bedfords’s!!!!

Graham Darnell

Amazing people, I don’t really know what I doing with flim photography and this place is great!!! Also amazing prices vs sending them out to someone.

Matt Clark

They were amazing..I’ve been in several times & they’ve resolved my issues quickly…HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Bedford Camera

Quinton Aiken

I have been a frequent customer of Bedford's in Oklahoma City since they assumed ownership of Epperson's. I have found their customer service to be very engaging and helpful. One of my criteria for measuring customer service is informing my rep that I have no intention to buy at the moment, but just have a few questions that I need answered. In those occasions I HAVE NEVER been mistreated, ignored, or turned away. Instead I have had all questions answered, been given time to inquire about and gain a bit of hands on experience with any and all pieces of gear in their inventory. As a result I have decided to make them my go to choice for purchasing gear, ESPECIALLY MAJOR PURCHASES. Bedford's has no problem with my stated understanding that I will challenge their prices and I will shop with them first if they are within a reasonable price range of B&H and Amazon. They don't have to be below, or match internet prices dollar for dollar, but just be reasonably close before taxes, and they will get my money every time. The difference for me is that I'm paying for their face to face expertise, courtesy, and professional customer service, as well as their local accessibility and availability. I have never received anything but exceptional treatment FROM EACH AND EVERY MEMBER of their staff, AND from the equipment manufacturer reps that appear from time to time. I work hard for my money, and when I spend it, it's only in places where I'm treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. I get that at Bedford's, and that's all I ask.

Mikayla “MikeSucks”

Bill helped me get some new gear for my new camera! Super nice and dealt with all my questions and elongated discussion of what to get my brother for Christmas.

Mallory Magruder

Always a great experience at bedford okc!

Scooter Daniel

Convenient serious camera and video store in Oklahoma City. Equipment for you, as well as photo processing, digital services, photo restoration, etc. Very attentive staff; someone usually asks how they can help you almost immediately after you walk in. Jerry in Digital Imaging asked a bundle of questions to make sure he knew exactly what I wanted, and then delivered on all of those responses. I had a great experience and I will keep going back with any camera/video/photo needs!

Alexis Thompson

I don't have to come here very often, but when I do the staff is friendly and helpful! And they will teach you what you need to know about your camera rather than just working on it.

Christopher Taylor

glad to have a a friend who works in the camera business. Not sure we're really to post this but if you have astronomical camera related questions I totally recommend Bedford cameras for it. He is very knowledgeable in things that are little less conventional than ordinary cameras and he knows how to do things for solar eclipses and astrophotography if you ask not to mention he sells great products as do all the other clerks in the store totally welcome coming in the building manager seems to be a very nice guy five stars

Beverly L Trujillo

I took a basic camera class with Martin McGrew as my instructor. It was fun and open and interactive. I learned what the buttons and codes were on my camera and how to apply them. I also learned how to care for my camera. It was a 2 hour class and it has motivated me to start studying the manual and practice using the camera. Martin is a good teacher who made it easy to understand the function of F stops! He walked around to each person and helped us understand our cameras. It was a class I would recommend.

Lindsey Stroh

Well let’s just say Martin is an ANGEL he puts up with my extreme neediness and utter impatient self. Bedfords will forever take my money well as long as Martin is there!

Leah Gunn

Bedford photo is literally the BEST place ever! They have been beyond helpful and so kind! I️ recommend everyone here!!!!! Thank youuuuu Bedford for everything!!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 …

Ryan McGann

Really good service. I must of been asked if I had been helped 6 times while waiting for my photo. Did a great job getting it onto canvas. My mother loved her Christmas gift. Thank you.

J. R.

Top notch service, with fair prices. Not sure what else you could possibly be looking for in a local camera shop. Truly excellent printing services. What else can I say!? Go here if you need good gear and a knowledgeable staff.

Lawrence Ross

Bill Parrish helped me review a pro-am video camera and after doing some follow up research, I went back and bought the unit. A two week return policy is outstanding and the price was the same as Amazon.

eryn richards

Heir Brandon

Best humans in the world, I can't thank them enough. Mr. Christian, Mr. Bill, Ms. Maria, & the rest of the team. I'm grateful for them, I can't even put into words how they've helped me over the past 5 years.

Karina Foster

After going to several printing places, I finally found a place to get exceptional photo copies of my artwork. I will be a forever customer. Thank you so so so much!!

Richard Clifton

As a Professional Photographer (Sports) it's great to have a local Photography Store to meet my needs! Bedfords' staff is always helpful and knowledgeable (Yes, I do have my favorite - Jeff Moore. While all of the employees are always willing to go the extra mile to make my choices easy and competitive with other internet camera stores, I have been dealing with Jeff for years when it comes to my photography questions and needs). I believe in shopping Local and when it comes to my Photography business, Bedford Camera Video is the first place I go. Bedford also offers many events to benefit the Okc area photographers.

Raina Anderson

I called and Maria was more than willing to answer all of my questions. Highly recommend her services. She made sure everything was quick and efficient with our experience!

Adam Miller

Website not accurate at all. I checked to see if they had a product, website said they did got to the store. They don't have the one I wanted but they carried the one that was 60 dollars more. Not great business. But they have a wonderful selection of cameras and other photography products. Just call ahead.

Arthur Gordon (JewelSmiths)

I went in and had Bill Parish help me with some equipment that I was trying out- He took time with me and was very helpful. He is going to help me select the right lighting for my project rather than to sell me something off the shelf that may or may not work for my needs- This is important to me - Thanks

Life On Spokes

The processing and prints for my 35mm film was exactly what I was looking for. Very professional quality prints at a reasonable price. I am completely happy with my experience with Bedford
