Cris & Deanna Duncan


Deanna and I love Arlington Camera because they love photography as much as we do. Their commitment to the industry is unmatched. They carry the finest in photographic equipment and have the finest support to answer any questions we may have. In a world of online anonymity they actually take the time to and effort to educate photographers on the best choice for their business and needs. I can't imagine not having Arlington Camera. Not only are they a great resource, they are part of our team!

I just want to give a great big thanks to Hermilo!!!! He recently cleaned the sensor on my D700 and it was by far the BEST SENSOR CLEANING EVER! (Believe it or not, not all sensor cleaning is the same.) In the past I had taken my camera to a competitor store (because it is much closer to my home), but from now on I will happily drive the extra miles to go to Arlington Camera for my sensor cleaning. Amazing difference! Not only was the cleaning job by Hermilo perfect, but he did it while I waited! The other store required me to leave my camera there for 3 days. I lose jobs when I have to leave my camera for three days, so being able to get this done while I wait is wonderful. My sincere thanks, not only for a very professional job, but a quick turn around to boot!

The employees at Arlington Camera are always friendly, and eager to help. I often call Arlington Camera for information about products that I can use to help my customers and they always go beyond what would be necessary to help. Melanie is great to work with no matter how many times you email her. If you are looking for photographic equipment or have questions please contact the people at Arlington Camera. They are the best people you will ever work with.

I want to thank you for your help. When I called to ask about a camera, your sales people really took their time and answered all of my questions. I purchased over $5,000 in equipment on my first purchase. When I am in the area I always stop by and pick up things that I need. Everyone there is so great. Keep up the good work. 

Kyriakos D. Economides, Ph.D.


Thank you so much. You have been the best, and I will continue to by from Arlington Camera and spread the word that there are other options for our East Coast photographers besides B&H and Adorama!

Dear Bill and Staff - Thank YOU each for the great support you provide for Texas School. It is truly appreciated and we will continue to choose you first for all our photographic needs. You are so generous and live up to your reputation of having the best prices of anybody anywhere. Anyway, thanks for all the door prizes Thursday night and donations and food and great Texas service.

Robert Tejada, Duck & Shoot Photography


Dear Employees - Please accept my most sincere apology for not writing this sooner. I have been an avid customer of your camera store for many years. While I live in Fort Worth, I do not hesitate to frequent your shop whenever I am in the market for new camera equipment or seeking knowledge on equipment newly out from manufactures, which you carry. Right from my first initial visit to your store as a student, your staff as always treated me very special and caring. I was allowed to personally hold and play around with the equipment I was interested in purchasing. While I am one who asks many questions about the products I plan to purchase, your staff never tired nor made me feel as I was inconveincing them at any time. They always gladly gave me very informative information about the product I sought. I had gone to other camera stores around the metroplex and was either treated more as a pest to them or as someone who lacked photography knowledge. I will say without any reservations, I never felt that way when I was in your store nor was I ever treated that way by any of your staff. I was one who was in the process of completing my photography degree and wanted to know much about the products and equipment I bought. Your staff made my photography experience most delightful and knowledgeable. So I want to thank you all for your professionalism and to let you all know that we the customer, do think highly of you all and are most appreciated. In closing let me introduce myself, I am Robert Tejada, while my name may not bring about you remembering me, I am sure if you saw me you would say, oh yeah, I remember you. I have dealt with many of you and will continue to do so in the future. Rest assured when I meet new fellow photographers in and about; I never fail to mention your store nor staff when asked where to buy camera equipment or where to get information about certain products. You have made my photography experience great and I thank you all.

I have been purchasing my camera equipment from Arlington Camera since about the time I moved to the Dallas area almost 10 years ago. I could shop at one of many closer camera stores, but Arlington Camera set themselves apart to me with their friendly, knowledgeable sales staff, the variety of products they offered (and kept stocked) and their competitive pricing. In addition, they are very supportive of our local and state photography associations and that is important to me.

After twenty-plus years of doing business with Bill Porter and his crew at Arlington Camera, I feel like I know ‘em well. As a pro shooter with diverse needs, I’m in and out of their shop regularly. Believe me when I say I would not be buying there if the service wasn’t top notch. Importantly, pricing at Arlington Camera is competitive with anything available over the internet. Arlington Camera staffers are all knowledgeable, friendly, and mostly semi-serious photographers and Photoshoppers in their own right. If you have a question, there’s usually someone in the crowd who can answer it. Bottom line is, Arlington Camera is easily the best camera store in the Metroplex – and arguably one of the best in the country.
