Reviews of Schillers Camera
Jessica Brame
I was impressed by the customer service in person, online, and over the phone. They were educational. Jim headed me in the right direction on a mirrorless camera. I was so overwhelmed by the choices! Jim helped me understand the features I did and didn't need based on the photos I'll be taking. I was also impressed with how many staff were present. I was there at a busy time of day, and they were able to help people quickly.
Jordan Grus
Chillers has great prices as well as extremely helpful employees. As it was my first time buying a camera and equipment I didn’t need a lot of advice and second opinions. And Elle The employee that helped me was super patient and also gave me great advice.
Hannah McDaniel
Just visited for my first time to get film developed after having some unfortunate issues with Walgreens development. After only one visit I can’t say enough great things about Schillers!!! The employees are helpful, friendly, and educated on all things camera and photo. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place to develop film. Turnaround time is quick because they can develop on site!!!! Good work Schillers :)))
Jeri Vollmar
I'm perplexed by the negative reviews. My experience at Schiller's was above and beyond.
When first calling the store, they told me the 8mm film I had that I needed to convert to digital would take 6 wks.
When I told them that my son needed the film to use asa prop in a play, they said they would try to expedite it.
They had it ready for me in a week!
When I went into the store, there was someone available to help me immediately, even though there were probably ten customers in the shop at the time.
My experience at Schiller's was top of the line and everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful and friendly.
I will definitely steer business their way whenever possible.
Rosa Renner
Had my DSLR Sony camera's sensor cleaned last week and WOW. Didn't realize how bad it was. Schiller's did a GREAT job, customer service was fantastic and the fact that it is done right there on the premises was a great relief. Turn around time was 24 hours, so I was back to snapping photos on the weekend!
Henry David
As a photographer who is getting started in the world of film photography, Schillers has been an excellent resource, helping me find the right cameras and lenses for my purposes. The staff are very knowledgeable and clearly care about their products and services.
Jessica Garland
I took a camera class today with Paul, and he was so informative, using analogies and phrases that I could understand in order to help me “move past auto” and take control of the quality of my pictures. Thanks, Paul! Awesome presentation! Schiller’s has always been and will continue to be my go-to for anything camera related!
Jason Schoenig
As a working professional in the photography business, I deeply rely on the expertise that Schiller's has delivered over the years as the customer service is nothing short of incredible. Incredible selection and attention the the customers needs regardless of where you are in your photography journey.
Samuel Wright
Schiller's Camera staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. I was greeted quickly with offer to help. Service is very good. Product selection very good.
Melody Holland
Have had great experiences renting equipment here and great service upfront, but when I called with a question about repair, the lady I was speaking to in that department was extremely rude in attitude and manner, and even hung up on me. Customer service could definitely use some work.
Joe Cordani
I couldn't be happier...I always wanted a Canon 7D. Today I went to Schillars bought me a 7D...a Canon 18 to 135 a signa 150 to 500....Paul my salesman was great...I walked out with a great camera system for under 1200 bucks....thank you Paul...thank you Schillars...great place.
Thomas Ludwig
I have been in there 3 times, mostly just to drool over all of the goodies. This last time I purchase an 85mm 1.8 lens, and couldn't be happier. The store is organized, clean and the staff is amazing. Super helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!! Thank you Schillers!!! You are my one stop shop from here out!!!
Taya Gwizd
These are great people! We are on a cross country road trip, and only had 6 hours in St. Louis, & they were able to clean our camera sensor for us quickly, very understanding of our circumstances. The prices are also great. We are very appreciative of their help, as we can now take clear photos of our trip! (: Thank you, Schillers Camera!
John Green
Great selections and pricing at this family owned and operated camera shop. Will return on my future visits to the city.
Jenn Perez
Drove from Columbia, MO and went in to check out a telescope so that I can get more into astrophotography and Dawn was a HUGE help! I already had my eye on one and she made it easy. We walked out with everything we need to set up with a camera. Thank you Dawn!
Tim Nolen
I'm a little bit late in this review.
This is hands down the only place in the St. Louis area where you should take your camera to get it sensor cleaned.
The staff is incredibly nice and knowledgeable.
The parking lot is a little wonky.
Hai Pham
Very friendly place. They always take the time to help me even I am not a pro or business partner. I am just an armature/ learner in photography.
Thank you Sven and all other staffs!
Jean Chris
Amazing place! So many cameras and every type of camera-related accessory. They even develop film and do prints from digital. There are so many staff people on hand to help that its almost unreal after being used to the apathy and spotty knowledge of the big box stores. Schillers is awesome!
Christian Martinez
It pains me to say I'm not a fan of Schiller's Camera. I have yet to find another shop in the area that develops film so this has been my only resort. Their work is decent but it's both their service and enviornment that causes me to stay away. I thought it was only a one time thing when I first arrived in St. Louis so I give them the benefit of the doubt and continue to come back. Sadly it's the same ol' story. Anytime I enter the shop I'm getting looks as if I shouldn't be there. It always takes me having to speak first or approach an associate in order to receive help. If there is "help" it's often short & dismissive as if I've either done something wrong or an associate doesn't want to speak with me. I've been shooting on film for +10 years and sincerely enjoy the sights of a photo shop. All the cameras, lenses, gadgets and more is the photo geek in me looking to share that experience with the people working there. It's never been that way and don't plan on coming back to look for it. I'll figure out how to develop my own film at home from now on to save me the trip.
alisha watkins
Absolutely amazing customer service. They were faster than Amazon. I needed a lens that all sellers on Amazon could not send by the time I needed it. I reached out to Schiller's as they are the closest camera shop to me. Even though they are 3 hours away, and we projected a 5 day turnaround and ship time, I received my lens in 2 days. They didn't charge me extra and went above and beyond to make sure I had my new lens in time for my shoot.
Andrew Rasmussen
Steve helped me. Came in just to look and learn. Ended up going home with a super nice Olympus and i couldnt be happier with it. Will definately be going back for accesories and more lenses. Looking forward to the next time!
Kurt Kruger
Great knowledgeable staff. No pressure just great advise. Bought a wonderful Tamron all in one 18-400 lens based on their recommendation
claire
I am more than satisfied with my experience at Schillers! I went to get film developed and first of all- the price and value was fantastic— outstanding in comparison to other film developers. Everyone there was so helpful and knowledgeable, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I chose to get my photos in Dropbox, and they arrived in FOUR HOURS! I will definitely be using Schillers for all of my film and any other camera needs. I’m obsessed!
K Lindley
The people are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Tim worked with me to purchase new camera equipment that meets my specific needs. Now attending their on-line classes and finding the first class, which is free for Canon beginners, to be chalk full in valuable information.
Dries Alberts
I've been printing photographs at this shop for a number of years now ... well over a thousand photos printed so far (for professional art shows and displays in galleries).
Not once did I experience a flaw ... always perfect, always timely.
When the odd photo turned out not the way I had imagined, it was reprinted and fixed at no extra cost.
What a great place! You've got my support and vote forever !!
Haley Broaddus
This was my first time ever going to this store! I went there this morning with my boyfriend to sell my canon 6D mark ll & my 24-105mm lens. I was trying to sell them on Facebook marketplace, but wasn’t having any luck!
After being inspected, the man helping me realized something was wrong with my lens. This lens might’ve been used three times. I was kind of embarrassed bringing in a lens that had issues that I didn’t know of, but I’m so glad that he realized it!! I could’ve sold the lens to someone, not even realizing it had issues. I would’ve felt so horrible. He gave me the best options to get my lens fixed.
I walked into the store just wanting to sell those two products, but walked out with two new products! Lol
He showed me a battery grip that will help me photograph all day weddings without worrying about my battery dying.
We also purchased a drone! So excited to try it out!!
I didn’t catch the name of the man that helped us, but he was very professional, very nice, down to earth, & super helpful. He is definitely an exceptional asset to this business!
I highly recommend this shop to other photography lovers! I will definitely be back!!
Thank you so much for the great experience!! 😊
Tom Tate
Stellar service today. Excellent staff. Although they didn't have a battery in stock that I needed the salesperson jumped on the phone and found what I needed elsewhere. This is above and beyond what I had expected. I will definitely be purchasing all my photo gear here going forward. They can do old style cameras and film up to the very latest in videography. Don't hesitate to look here for what you need is my recommendation.
Cam Krueger
The people here are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Most if not all of them are experienced photographers/videographers themselves. They will be able to help you find what you need and answer any questions you may have along the way, no matter your experience level. They have an excellent selection of gear in-store. I came in looking to buy a lens. They let me try out the lenses I was trying to pick from in-store to help me make my decision. This was incredibly helpful. They also have an excellent selection of used equipment and film/darkroom materials all at reasonable prices. This wasn't my first visit, and it certainly won't be my last!
Emily Rose
I am so impressed with this place. I am a regular film user and I am constantly getting my film developed. For the longest time I went to chains like CVS or Walgreens and had terrible experiences. I tried to send my film to a company in another state by mail but that got to be too expensive. I love Schiller's because they have the best prices, the best prints I have seen, the quickest turn around, and a friendly staff. I am so glad I found this place.
While in the store today I heard a woman complaining to the staff that they charge too much for film development and for prints. Clearly she has never tried anywhere else. They actually have the best price, especially for a quick turnaround... and I am happy to pay an extra 10 cents a print for the quality they provide.
Scott Prost-Domasky
Best camera shop I've ever been to! We bought 2 new cameras, one a point and shoot, the other digital (DLR). With it came a couple of dozen free prints and a free class, all for the same price as online at "Very Large River in South America." Service is excellent, they really know their stuff, and are adept at explaining complicated stuff to novices and other "low photography information" picture takers!
David Masson (L10 Industries)
These guys are top notch. I primarily go there for my analog photography needs, and they are always trying their best to have the latest and greatest films. I love that I can go in and talk to someone that knows what they are talking about and like talking about. Really exciting to see salesmen like Joe and Matt that around my age and so enthusiastic about photography.
Heath Moffett
I recently needed a charger and battery for my Canon. I lost mine and was flying to California in 3 days. They had what I needed and they were able to get it to me after paying a reasonable price for expedited shipping. I have never bought anything from them but they made me feel like a longtime customer a feeling I have not gotten from many businesses lately! Everyone I talked to on the phone was super friendly. I know where I will be shopping for any future camera needs.
Jack Vandegriffe
High quality products and amazing staff who are super friendly. I had a pretty niche film camera issue and they answered all my questions!
Trenton Harris
Great knowledgeable staff with competitive prices. I you are into audio visual either professional or hobbyist Schillers is the place to go in the Saint Louis area. They also carry a good selection of used camera gear for budget conscious shoppers.
Sean Brock
Awesome, fast, and friendly service!!! Lona was super helpful and informative. This was my daughters first camera and first costly purchase. Lona answered all my daughters questions and made her feel super confident in her purchase. I would recommend Schillers for the first time buyer and the skilled professional.
Bud Stewart
This place is amazing! It's candyland for your photography sweet tooth. Ans, the staff is great, very knowledgeable and helpful. They also offer in house film processing, and repair services. Just an OUTSTANDING experience all around.
Amy Feranec
Schiller’s staff is knowledgeable & friendly! I bought my Canon 7D there 10 years ago and have been back many times to have prints made, get my camera cleaned, or rent equipment. They’re the best at what they do!
Steve Jones
Sales staff was very helpful and not high pressure. I worked with Joe Howard and he answered all of my questions, including a follow up call regarding and order. They do purchase old equipment but it's a bit like gamestop in that they won't offer much. There's a nice selection but what I wanted was backordered so supply chains appear to still be disrupted. Prices are in the expected range even considering it is a brick and mortar store and their value in knowledge alone is worth it. I was very pleased with my experience. (Full disclosure, I have more knowledge and experience than an entry level amateur photographer but am not a professional.)
Brock Evans
To my knowledge, Schiller's is the last place in town that you can actually get hands on with high end cameras. I bought a Canon 6D today and a couple of lenses. The sales associate was polite and more than willing to answer all of my questions and find the perfect camera for me to shoot semi professional portraits and landscape. Cameras and lenses were right on the price, but it seemed like peripherals like bags and lights were a pretty overpriced. Otherwise a 5 star experience.
Dave Also
Most of my post is about helping small businesses. Schiller's Camera is not exception. Drove all the way from Defiance MO, and Gaye(sp?) was very helpful with my shuttle remote. Not only did he tell me what setting is the best, he made sure the shuttle remote I brought would work with my camera. Thanks for the help and information ReyG<- on my receipt.
Courtney Knowlan
The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful, and best of all, patient with someone like me who just can’t make up her mind! I have bought and returned two lenses that I didn’t love (great lenses, but I was just buying what isn’t right for me) and they have been incredibly accommodating. I’m usually one to buy online, but all of my future photography purchases will be here. Highly recommend!
Debbie Armbruster
I went in with specific needs related to the kind of camera I wanted and Paul, the gentleman who helped me, listened to exactly what I said. He didn’t try to convince me that I needed something more elaborate or different. When I asked something he didn’t know for sure, he asked another coworker who knew. Everyone working there seems knowledgeable and they support and cooperate with each other. The price I paid was exactly the same as if I had ordered it online but I ended up way ahead because my salesman took time to get it all set up for me and ready to go. I took beautiful pictures that same afternoon and felt comfortable with the camera. Knowing that I have a person to go back to if I have any problems is much more valuable than saving a few dollars by buying it online or at a store which doesn't have employees who specialize in cameras.
Cheryl Logan
Schiller’s camera is a very friendly and informative. I went in with a friend who shops there frequently. Most staff knew her by name. Everyone was quick to help even though they were very busy when I came into to get a couple lenses calibrated. I will definitely be going back again.
Sarah Rhodes Bogart
I ordered our family pictures through Schillers and they were delivered within days and they are absolutely perfect!!! A++
Lisa Wilken
Finally posting about my great experience with Schiller’s Camera in August. My grandparents had a wedding picture that was delicate from the 1950s, and I wanted a high quality copy of it to display at my grandfather’s funeral. Schiller’s went above and beyond to make sure that the copy was available to me on short notice (and they were short-staffed due to vacations). Their pricing was great on photo prints, so I had other old, delicate photos copied as well to display. Their excellent customer service in my family’s time of grief truly meant a lot. I’m looking forward to using Schiller’s again...next time with no rush :)
Delyno Miller
Ive been visiting this shop since last ‘17 and up until today ive always had good customer service
i call them to pay for some film i had developed and was put on hold. When I was taken off hold (they had to find my order which is understandable) i was speaking to a woman who seemed like i was bothering her the second i she spoke to me. I paid for my order and when i asked questions seem came off very condescending to me and when i said thank you the lady she hung up abruptly.
Very good camera shop, they offer great services to the community ,for the most part the customer service is A1 but apparently ,that depends on who you are speaking with.
Tiffany Waits
Great customer service! I made 2 purchases this past week. The 1st time I went in it was just to ask questions and decide for sure what I wanted to upgrade to. The staff was so helpful that I purchased a few items the 1st visit! I went back 2 days later and was allowed to shoot all of the 5D Mark II's they had in stock and she even helped me narrow it down and finally pick the best one for me....
Ben Ross
Last week I was able to purchased various items needed for a high-quality live stream to Facebook. My list of things to buy was a tripod, bracket to mount 2 Iphones, 2 phone mounts, 3.5 mm to a lightning port adapter, and a high-quality microphone. I was able to find everything I needed and happy to shop at a locally owned store.
Jason Heldenbrand
Frank spend 1.5 hours with me helping me weigh the different options and find the best camera and lenses for me. He was methodical, he listened, and he gave me his perspective. I have been “thinking” about buying the camera I wanted for many years and I’m grateful for the insight and experience to help me make an informed choice. I probably bought higher quality gear than I would have if I had shopped Amazon. I didn’t feel unsold, just informed about the choices. I will be back. Thank you.
Daniel Sims
I went and got my camera not even a month ago. Everyone there was very nice. They knew a lot of what they were talking about and really helped me feel that I was a important client more then just a normal consumer. I’ll come back for more equipment and newer cameras in the future. Great job!
Ben M
Schiller's is the last camera store in St. Louis and there is a reason. No other camera store in this city has EVER come close to their service, expertise and product selection! They have been in St. Lous since like 1890s. I love the people at Schiller's because they answer my questions on my level and make me feel good about shopping there.
Tommy Siam
My church had bought a camera and tripod from Schiller's a few months ago. Last Sunday the tripod broke. I took it in today and they exchanged it, no questions asked. Very nice people, and great customer service.
Ben M
Absolutely the best camera store in St Louis! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They seem to stock everything I need and I appreciate their rental department. Schiller's has and will always have my business!
Lexi Clark
There is an extensive amount of equipment. Perfect for all of your photography needs. HOWEVER, customer service was not to par. The gentleman we spoke with had great knowledge about the products we were inquiring but he was very rude. I understand wanting to sell the product but do not push us to do or be arrogant. Very displeased and won't be speaking to him again IF we go back

Every time I go to Schiller's I get nothing but A+++ service. I was in last year interested in stepping up my photography game from my simple yet useful Sony-DSH9 to a Canon Rebel T5i. I decided I wanted to learn about photography and wanted to get a camera that I could grow with. So I decided to check out Schiller's and spoke to a gentleman by the name of Brad. He was simply amazing and patient with answering my questions about the camera. After asking me some questions he recommended the Canon 70D and after doing more research on the model I decided it was definitely for me.
So this past January I finally had my camera. I originally received it from Sam's Club but didn't open it because I wanted to know what type of deal that Schiller's was offering. So I looked on their website and saw their lens package was better than Sam's not to mention they also offered a better warranty package, and include a free beginner class when you purchase a camera through them. So I went to Schillers and spoke to another salesman, who was just a great as Brad. I bought the camera after making sure all of my questions were answered and I was satisfied. I also bought some accessories and returned the other camera back to Sam's.
Since then I have also been back to buy a messenger style camera bag, a lightbox, and a tripod. I also took my introductory camera class. The service is nothing but wonderful and I highly recommend them.
Laura Knoll
I work at Sam's Club photo and send members to Schillers for special projects all the time. Every time I call for information I get a kind and knowledgeable response.
I purchased my first film camera
from schillers back in the day and was very pleased. I only wish they had a second location further south.

I have been a customer for nearly four years now. Previous customer of Creve Coeur Camera.
The moment I was greeted I already felt valued. Even when they are busy(which is often, understandably), they are still very attentive and make sure you know that they are thinking of you while you wait. All of my camera purchases happen at Schiller's. I also rent lenses from them often and will not rent from anyone else in St. Louis. They remember my name quite often, though I don't know how because they have so many customers!
They go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and I will continue to look forward to going to this store. It feels good to give a great company your business!
Compared to the main chain of camera stores in St. Louis, well, there is no comparison!
You will be not be disappointed.
Marc Miller
I was assisted promptly as soon as I entered the store. They have a lot of photography items: cameras, binoculars, books, flashes, reflective umbrellas, tripods, and lenses. In fact, since Creve Coeur Camera became a photo school, Schiller's is the only full-on photo shop in St. Louis. They process and print color and black and white film, too.
Pierre Cole
Went in to get a camera bag. It was very busy (Saturday afternoon). Eventually got service and left without any real hassle.
Can't really rate sales staff or service knowledge and friendliness, but their speed was mediocre. Definitely seemed friendly and knowledgeable with their regulars. (For those who are looking for a regular place to buy photography equipment on a regular basis)
Check their inventory online and research their equipment before going there. It will save you lots of time.
Alicia TangoTweety
There are really only 2 main camera stores here in St Louis and I've had experience with both. This review is about the private lesson (1.5 hr) I had today with their main teacher, Paul to cover questions I had regarding my Sony RX 10 IV that came out a year ago. Though I had purchased a book from Amazon that covered the camera very well, I was still confused by how Sony had set up their focusing features. Because I came with a written list of questions, Paul was able to pinpoint exactly where to start, filling in when I had gaps in understanding, eg. the difference between focus area and focus mode. By the end, I felt confident that my goals were reached. Paul is a gifted teacher. I look forward to taking more lessons (private or group) with him. (Last year, I had a 3 hr private lesson with the "other camera store" on the Sony and that was a horrible experience, which I also documented in a review.) I know which store is the ONLY one for me!
Ronald Prebianca
Amazing place for all your photography requirements. It was very busy with customers yet Joe Howard took the time to help me with my purchase answering all my questions.
Gisela Castillo
Joe Howard did an amazing work for me. I'm glad he was the one who took care of me on June 17th.
I went to Schiller's to get my camera fix on June 2nd, The lady who took it tryied to check it for me after few minutes she wrote my name in a piece of paper and my phone number telling me she needed to keep the camera for about an hour to check on the batteries to be charged, but that she would call me back as soon as she could.
After days she never reach me, so I called the following week and they told me there was no camera or information about it, THEY COULD'T FIND MY CAMERA! Then after 3 days I call again asking for the lady and she was on the phone telling me she had my camera and the cost to send it to repair was about $400. So I told her "no thanks I will pick it up soon".
I pick my camera up on June 17th, and they couldn't find it AGAIN!!!! After 40 minutes waiting Joe H. finally did find my camera, and took his time to check the camera for me, he put a new battery to test it and a new memory card and Magic! My camera turn on perfectly and worked as brand new camera. I'm glad after all Schiller's help me out once again eventhough I almost got a hard attack by thinking about my camera got lost.
-
I went like 3 weeks ago because a wrong memory card got stock into my cannon camera. I tried 2 different places to get it out but they couldn't do it saying i have to send it to cannon factory or break it !!! Then I stop by my last try "Schiller's" you won't believe it! It took me 5 minutes to be waiting, and they fixed!!! unfortunately my camera got some minor damage with all that trying from the other places I went.
A Wardell Banks
Pros - they are THE "local" photo shop in St. Louis. They match prices to some extent. There's a wide range of gear. There are usually plenty of people walking around to assist. They've serviced and cleaned my gear. They do excellent printing. They're in the city. I'm mostly Nikon and my Canon/Sony/Fuji pro photographer friends are all big fans of this place.
Cons - Do a price comparison before you shop but again they might work with you. My customer experiences have not all been pleasant. Inconsistent to say the least. They could benefit from more diverse team of employees. Not a jab, just an honest suggestion.
For me, the two viable camera options are Creve Coeur Camera and Schillers, so I will be back.
Michelle O
Schiller's is my choice for all of my photographic needs! They have a great selection of cameras, lighting and accessories. Schiller's has always been there to answer my questions and help make me become a better photographer. In my opinion, they are the only place to go when you need a new or used camera or anything photographic.
They have a good used selection and are very quick and fair on trade in equipment.
Cheers!
Tom Herbig
Huge selection of in stock camera parts and accessories. I was looking for three different lenses and they had all of them in stock. On top of that they had one of them to rent. The staff was extremely helpful and patient with my novice self. Thanks Schiller's!
Frank M
Associates here are really helpful with film photography questions. Although I didn’t but anything, they made sure all my questions were answered. Looking forward to developing my film here.
David Parks
You'll never leave Schiller's disappointed, there was another camera store in the area that gave me a very bad vibe when there, as if they did not want my business, they've since gone out of business. At Schiller's they enjoy having you there and giving you advice for success whatever you may be doing, you won't leave disappointed, I never have.
RG Insights Photography
The staff here is great! Very knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and go the extra mile for their customers. If you are a pro, or casual photographer, you will not be disappointed with your experience here. Top notch staff and company!
Kent Peterson
My father recently passed away and our family needed a large photo for the memorial service. Schiller's quickly provided a blow up photo and repaired a few scratches on the original print. The quality was excellent, we received it quickly and the personnel was very sympathetic. Thanks for your help!
Andre Henderson
As my first time going into a photo shop the experience was very pleasing. Dawn Boyd really helped me out and now I have all my supplies. I will definitely keep giving them my business.
Linda
Clerk showed me exactly the lens I wanted with what little description I could give him. I am less than an amateur and he was very helpful. Bought my camera there in 2006 and they have always been helpful.
Frank Darr
Excellent source for technical advice, equipment rental and purchase, and outstanding service. Staff is wonderful! St. Louis business since 1892. Do not miss the antique camera collection!
Kristina Lambert
Schiller's converted some old fragile movie film for me and they made some beautiful memories able to be seen again. The film was so fragile we were afraid to play it. The conversion they completed was amazing. Thanks for giving me film of my parents wedding so many years ago.

I emergently needed a part for my camera; the battery door came off mysteriously, and I only had two days until I left the country to replace it. Stephanie was the person that helped me; she was AH-MAZING. She looked high and low for the battery door, and then came up with the idea to offer me a battery grip instead when a door couldn't be found. This solved my battery problem and improved my camera overall. Not only that, but she overnighted it to me so I wouldn't have to travel without my camera. Thank you so much! I'll remember to call you first next time.
Coco Nut
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They produced a beautiful enlargement of a black and white horse/with trainer photo from the 1960s--from the negative that I managed to find. I'll be back to have some more made. Also, they bought an old camera from me, probably also from the 1960s or 70s, when I just went there to give it to them--for free.
Kim Neske
Very frustrated. (UPDATED SEE BELOW) 5 weeks ago I took 3 prints to be enlarged, one of which needed to be retouched. Received them today. The order was totally reversed rendering the one print unable to fit in either frame (one frame was smaller than the other). Even took the backings (old pictures) of the frames in when I placed the order to SHOW how it was suppose to be. So now (no apology) but a promise of getting the order correct tomorrow. The cost was close to 200.00, a week later than what was promised and the order wrong. Also, I did not receive my original (old) pictures back that I took in to show the dimensions. They did finally locate them. So I get to drive back there again tomorrow and hopefully, the order will be correct. On the high note the retouching was excellent.
UPDATE: Approximately 10 minutes after posting the above review Rob contacted me by phone.. He apologized and then proceeded to right all of the wrongs :) They delivered to my house the next day the correct order with extra copies of the prints as well. When a company goes out of their way to make amends you cannot help but to then give them five stars. That is customer service.
Brian

For professional and advanced photography, this is the place to go. Excellent customer service. Dawn is always accommodating as she is a constant in assisting us with equipment. She is a knowledgeable source of tremendous help when we need something!

I'm a professional photographer and I've done business with Schiller's for 15 years. I always get great customer service from a very knowledgeable staff of people. That counts for a lot to me. Through A Lens Photography

I've been going here for years both buying and renting gear. They're a great group of people and I generally leave with what I was looking for. Not sure where the negativity comes from in some reviews. Esp. those saying CC camera has a more knowledgable staff. That couldn't be further from the truth.
Michael Wooff
Thankful for Schiller’s. They’re basically the only camera store in the greater STL area.
Alan Ramsey
I really like this camera store, more than Creve Coeur Camera. The prices are good and the staff is helpful, knowledgable and they are not pushy.
The have a good selection of new and used products.
They helped me understand the differences in the name brand cameras, which allowed me to pick the one I wanted.

Sven & Launa spent so much time with me trying get my Movie Maker video on a DVD until we finally got it. Usually, it is something very simple, but I had it the wrong setting. They were very patient and excellent to work with!! It made my brother's 50th birthday party a huge success!! Thank you so much!!
Mark Moore
Knowledgeable, friendly and always remember me (and usually all the gear I have acquired there). They always take take to go over camera gear in depth as well. I'm a loyal customer.
Valerie Graham
Awesome place! They helped me fix some issues I was having with my camera and were sure to explain everything very thoroughly! Very knowledgeable

Tracey Bartmann-Leek
I have had nothing but top notch service from Schillers. They are experts and know what their selling and will set you up with exactly what suits your need. They have it all! Their local! What’s not to love about that:)
Ignacio Alvarez
What a great store! I stop by on my way out of St Louis and it was such a nice experiance, they have everything you need including stuff for film cameras. Highly recommended.
Penny Alexzander
A very good experience . The gentleman that helped me was so easy to talk to and explained everything didn't rush me at all. Will go back if needed
Super Milk-Chan
I cannot believe I found such a knowledgeable shop in town with so many employees who love and use vintage cameras. I brought mine in for repair, and they were so excited about it, I knew it was in great hands.
WAYNE BEUGG
In this town, there is NO other place than Schiller's for the most knowledgeable professional advice. They built a darkroom for me over the years and never disappoint. You go there when you are serious...period.
Paula
Great place for cameras, cases, photo supplies and much more. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend them.
Shawn Bruce
Great place to buy equipment. I find that their prices are competitive with their local competition, often better. It’s hard to compete with online retailers, but I’d prefer to support people and businesses in my neighborhood.
t sack
The place to go for Nikon !!! People are great !!
Coder Babe
dont get where the negative comments come from i go in there looking lost everytime i walk out knowing a bit more about gear. I never have to wait a million years to get service. Unlike CC they care to help and you despite not making any extra money off it. But that's just me and my opinion.
Dela Awadzi
The only remaining professional camera store in st louis Missouri. They had a great selection of cameras and awesome trade-in prices.
