Always incredible let helpful with getting the products I need. Highly recommend for your photography needs! Thank you to Shawn for helping me with my order over the phone!

Richard Snow (RJSnowPhoto)

Always a great experience at Hunts. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Large selection of new and used camera gear, film, paper, printers and print supplies. Store was just renovated for an even more enjoyable experience.

Sarah Violette Media

This place is amazing. Jameson in particular is a staff member who went above and beyond for me in an emergency situation today and I’m so grateful. Always come here for your camera needs!

Robert Jones

In my opinion, this is the best & largest photo retailer in Maine. They vary knowledgable of all makes and models. I needed some filters for my Nikon @ 77mm. & they had an ample amount. If they were not around, I would have to go to Boston...They also assisted me, with obtaining a tripod head for my long lens & an additional battery. I'm a wildlife photographer, covering Alaska to Texas; Maine to the Grand Canyon, been to hundreds of camera retailers & "Hunts" gets my "5 star" rating...

Jim Mohler

This is a great photo store staffed with people knowledgeable about the products they sell. They sell cameras, accessories, and offer finishing services.

Hannah Little

get your photos printed at hunts!! don't go to Walmart or Walgreens! the quality here is 100x better, and you're shopping (almost) local!

michael esposito

Very helpful and a rarity to find an camra store still around. Definitely recommend it to anyone who needs camera equipment

Lee Rodgers

Fantastic store in a large shopping area. Easy parking and easy to drive to. Camera and Accessories are excellent quality. They have some used equipment as well. This is a chain of 8 stores in the East New England area. They have a great web site. I highly recommend this store in Portland.

Nathaniel Davis

Ray is super knowledgeable and helpful! Will definitely be returning for future gear!

John Marshall

I never write these things. Most customer service is either bad or mediocre so I don't waste my time. But really, the guys at Hunt's in South Portland were such a pleasure to work with, I'm just doing my part to encourage that kind of behavior. Ray worked with me, cleaned my camera sensor right in front of me, explained what he was doing, and handed me back my camera in ten minutes good as new. He was smart and professional and it didn't cost much. Plus it's local. Five Stars! I will definitely be back.

I want to give a shout out to Hunt's Photo and Video of South Portland, ME. Twice I have had issues with Nikon USA, and twice Hunt's resolved it within minutes. And this is after sending equipment at my expense to Nikon 2 times. The staff at Hunt's are always knowledgeable & friendly and I love that I can go in there and walk back out feeling good about what I purchase from them. That they stand behind the product they sell. And if we are throwing names in the mix, then I'm going to mention Ray. No matter how many customers he has in there, I never feel rushed. He always takes the time to thoroughly answer any questions I have. When you shop local, you get real people and real help! Thank you Hunt's of South Portland, ME!

Smith's Leather Balm

We won't shop anywhere else for cameras or gear. Hunt's is amazing. They have a huge selection, their prices are the same or better than online bargains and their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. In a world of online shopping it's so refreshing to walk into a store and deal with real, actual people who are experts in their field, provide outstanding customer service and appreciate your business.

I highly recommend a one on one course with Ray! I had one today and walked out understanding 100% of what he taught me! I feel confident with the different settings and how to use Lightroom! I literally walked in there knowing nothing and walked out educated! Nickol D.

Sonya Wieburg

Pleasurable experience. Went in looking for a CPL that fit Nikon kit lens. Saw lots of stuff I wanted. Salesman wasn't pushy, just showed me what I asked for and then let me buy what I wanted with a request for repeat service. Costs a bit more than Amazon but worth it to talk shop to a real person.

Peter Guyton

Hunt's is a great local resource for photographers: amateurs, pros and everyone in between. I traded in some equipment and they were extremely fair and up front and we got the whole transaction done quickly. The transaction also matched the big box NY photo stores without the hassle. Service is always helpful though sometimes you may have to wait. The store was refreshed in 2019 and it's clean and well stocked. This is not the dusty, unorganized photo store you may have seen elsewhere. They carry a ton of brands and can help you find the right equipment, if it's not in stock they can usually get it in two days. Buy local!

Donna Brazell

Staff was quickly attentive and resolved my issue within 5 minutes. Also think the store itself has a cool setup. Definitely recommend!

Jim Walker

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great place to check out that new camera or lens you have had your eye on.

Trina Dinnar

I have been to other local camera stores and have been unimpressed to say the least. Hunt's Photo & Video in South Portland exceeded my expectations. I was in need of a last minute item and called ahead. Sure enough, it was in stock. They reserved it for me and I came in to get it the same day. While I was there, the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, especially Brett, who helped me with my order. I'm very glad to have found a great local camera store and I'll definitely be shopping here again in the future!

Tara Cardinal

I've been to a few different locations and always have great service. The sales person was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the cameras we were looking at. He gave pros and cons and helped us decide to make the right purchase.

elizabeth libby

I went in with an older Nikon film camera! Couldn’t get it to work after sitting for awhile. Nice young man looked and said right away, u have the wrong battery let’s see what we can do. Anyway it works and he was so very nice and informative. Thank you!

MaryBeth Moriarty

Amazing personal service with a wide selection of cameras and equipment. I love getting my historical family media transferred to digital files here. I love supporting this wonderful local business. They have recently started online ordering of digital photos to prints which has saved me trips to the store!

David Angel Studios

I cannot say enough about the wonderful customer service at Hunts. It is the only place I choose to go for my photography and video needs. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and very on top of their game when it comes to knowing what gear might suit my needs depending on the situation . Whether it's an in stock camera strap for $15 or a special order modifier for $1,000 the customer service is consistent and exceptional . This review is long over due . Thank you Hunts for everything

Justin Amoroso

The sales Team, I worked specifically with Rick Bert and Brett Stone, is SUPER helpful, smart, and generous. I own a photo booth business and I was having a connection issue between my camera and computer. They helped me isolate and solve the problem. The equipment I needed is a bit older so I wasn't able to make a purchase through them. They were still kind enough to still give me an excellent source where I could find it. They seemed motivated by something higher than money. This is service at its best.

Janet Enos Garland

We were helped quickly. The clerk was friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately he wasn't able to help us out, as we didn't have the SD disk in our camera. He wanted to see the problem via the disk that stores info about the camera and each picture. So he was unable to address our problem today. We will return another day.

Zach Ward

I love Hunt's Photo in South Portland! I have been a customer of Hunt's for 7+ years and they are the best camera store in Maine. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable in a wide variety of cameras. The print lab is top notch and has great turn-around times. Whenever I am looking to purchase a new lens, or accessory I go to Hunt's first. 10/10, would (and do) recommend!

Scott Linscott

Best photography store in the area, in my opinion. It is well-organized, the staff is kind and treats you well and if they don't have what I need they get it for me.

Lucas Kessler

Walked in for a sensor cleaning and walked out with a new camera. Also a clean sensor. Very helpful employees. Very knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. Would recommend Hunt's for all your camera needs.

Brad Dearden

Really appreciate the helpful, friendly staff at Hunts Photo. I have used them quite a bit for printing/enlarging photos. Valerie is very helpful and professional with this, and the images I get back are excellent! They also work with my custom sizes and highlights to ensure I get the prints I'm looking for. Very good overall experience with Hunts!

daniel oster

Hunt's is one of my favorite stores. The staff are doing fantastic with the COVID situation, and still making you feel welcome. If you're thinking about a camera, this is the place to go!

michael donahue

Great staff of people. Pretty much everything and everything you would need. I'm a sony user and they had a bunch of lens there for Sony mirror less

Justin May

They are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful! I had a great visit and learned a good bit while I was there as well. I cant wait to come back again next time I am shopping for more gear.

Joe Trombley

Passing through area on pleasure trip. Needed an SD card. Brick and mortar store with outstanding service, SanDisk 128 GB extreme pro..latest version...cost less than many online sellers. Had to wait my turn for service, and was thoroughly impressed with the advice and guidance that the store team members offered the patron. Looked at some additional gear, and not once felt pressured or so that I was a bother. Heading further north in Maine, inquired regarding places to shoot. The team member explained that he's mostly a sports action photographer, but still helped us plan our trip. If you're in the area...this is a must stop place for any type of photography. They're fully stocked in several brands, have some very nice used items, and cover everything from point & shoot, tripods, gimbal heads, selfie sticks, cases...you name it...and really GOOD advice on locations. Also recommended a places for lunch...when I went back in to ask.

Rosemary Zurawel

Oh, my goodness, but the folks here are so knowledgeable and friendly that I don't mind the 60 minute drive for help and / repairs.

michael mcdonough

Love this store. Yes you can buy online sometimes cheaper but will they stand behind it? Hunts caters to regular customers. They have been super awesome to me. See Rick Berk for your needs.

Diana Jagde

Great store with knowledgeable staff. Went in to have my camera cleaned and had a fantastic experience. I have been to this store a several times- always having a positive experience. This is easily my go to store for anything camera related. Thanks!

David Millward [Freelance]

I have been a sporadic customer over a number of years and have always found the staff helpful, friendly and generous with their advice. They have even understood my British accent. In a lot of ways it is a throwback to less aggressive commercial times and I really do not recognise the criticism from some customers here.

Madhu V

Hunt's Photo & Video are so good and friendly. They helped us to get the passport photographs in the required dimensions (Many other photo studios rejected saying that they don't have the template for that dimension). But Hunt's spent good amount of time with us taking the pictures and developing them as per our needs. They are so kind and definitely I will visit them for any photos I need in future. I am very happy with Hunt's Photo & Video's service today.

Joey Freeman

Really great service. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Good variety of camers everything from Panasonic to Sony and Blackmagic.

Natalie Breton

I met with Rick Berk, who knew I was coming to look at the D750. He had it all ser for me and even convinced the hubby to grab the 24-120 f4 along with it for me! As always, great service and friendly people

Adrian Cote

Best local photography shop in Portland. Whether you're an amateur or professional this is where you should buy your photography gear. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and are photographers themselves. Unlike the uninformed help you might get at best buy or target.

Patrick Conant

Good for sales, but very strong on their opinions. Their trainers after very knowledgeable, but also biased towards Mac computers. My teacher was unwilling to look at a problem I had in Lightroom because "it must be a Windows issue".

Jennifer Egan

Hidden gem! I discovered this place through an event on Eventbrite and learned much more than I was expecting during the class. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, the staff is super helpful and the instructors are impressively talented. I will be back!

Leigh L.

The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They have always taken good care of us!

Leslie A. Miller

I went in with a problem . I was carefully taught how to solve it. Of course he showed me a better model, which had what I was lacking on my camera, but now, I don't have the money. Too bad I walked out happy.
