Matt has been an amazing help for me when it comes to purchasing products. Even with issues out of their control, the pixel connection has done everything they can to make them my number one choice for gear. They have gone above and beyond every single time for me, seems like standard practice, which I love. I wont buy gear anywhere else.

The Pixel Connection is a great place to do business. Their staff and products are top notch. But lets be honest, there are a lot of businesses that has top staff and products. What separates a business from the rest is their customer service when the customer needs them most. In my humble opinion, this is where The Pixel Connection shines the most.As a professional photographer, it is vitally important my gear is always in top working condition. Recently, my gear failed on me and Pixel bent over backwards over and above whatever I expected to keep me working.I will always have a choice where I shop, locally and online, but my choice will always be The Pixel Connection for my Photography needs.Thank you Pixel for saving my bacon when I needed you most.

Ive been going to Pixel for over a year now. Ive bought products and rented cameras. They are wonderful people! Truly helpful and have answers to all of my questions. The rental process is simple and I enjoyed testing out new equipment! Highly recommend Pixel!

Such a great experience! Thank you Michelle for teaching me so much about my camera and how to take different pictures. I definitely feel much more comfortable using manual mode and will be practicing all weekend...appreciate your expertise and will be back 😊

Michele was the best! From showing me the right tools for my job and staying within my budget, to the enthusiasm and obvious love she has for photography, she absolutely shines. Not once did she make me feel dumb for my lack of knowledge, nor did she take advantage of my newbie status. I told her what I wanted to accomplish and she directed me to the right equipment and made me feel like I can definitely do this with some practice. This is everything I need from a vendor. Thank you!!!

I was looking for a specific camera for an upcoming trip. Most of the big on-line vendors were offering the item, but were saying that delivery could take months. Found the item at PIXEL Connection. They had it in stock, at a price significantly less than what was offered by the large on-line sites. Got the camera within three days. Pixel also provided one-stop shopping for all related accessories. Plus, they were very responsive to my phone inquiries. Will definitely go to them first for camera needs.

Ive been using The Pixel Connection for all my photography needs for the last 3+ years and I can not say enough good things about them. From lenses, to lights, to camera bodies or light stands, they have helped me with it all. And they continue to impress. I ordered a light stand and they shipped it FREE, and I received it with 24 hours from placing the order. Highly knowledgable and friendly! Highly recommend!

PIXEL Connection was the only place I could find the Wandrd Prvke 31L V2, everywhere else was sold out. They also had it cheaper than anywhere else, free shipping, and it came super quick! The pack came in excellent condition. I am very happy with their service.

Review №12

I have been a customer of Pixel Connection for many years, and have had scores of interactions with the owner and all of the staff at the Avon store. I would not go anywhere else to buy my cameras and lenses! They are all knowledgable, kind, communicate well, and follow-up in a timely manner. As a professional photographer in Elyria, I have spent literally tens of thousands of dollars at Pixel, and have no regrets. Their pricing is similar to Amazon, but you get true expertise, customer service, and a nurturing environment - better than any other brick & mortar store, and far better than any online experience can give you. Look no further!

Pixel Connection is a real camera store with real photographers to assist you with a sale. The store reminds me of what a camera store was like before the internet and Amazon. I still want to see, touch and use a camera before purchase, especially when paying over $3,000.00. Great job Pixel Connection!

I was having trouble finding white Sonos One SL speakers anywhere - in person or online. Pixel Connection showed that they were in stock, but I was a little nervous. I had never heard of them. Their online reviews were good, so I gave them a try. Not only did they have the speakers, but they were delivered quickly and they were well packaged. I was very pleased with my experience,

I purchased a used Canon body from Pixel Connection on eBay. There was a snafu with the model I received and Matt bent over backwards to to replace it and make sure I was satisfied. I ended up with an even nicer body than I was expecting! Thanks Matt for the exemplary customer service! Ill be back!

I love the service I get at Pixel Connection. I recently purchased a new lens and it went on sale after, they quickly responded and refunded the difference because it was within their 30 day policy. I shot this image with my new lens! I will continue to shop here for all my photography needs.

Have made two purchases recently from PC, both for Canon L series camera lenses. They are great people to deal with, very accommodating and knowlegable. No problems, issues or suprises, fair prices, free shipping and saved sales tax on internet orders. Would definately recommend them to anyone and I will return for future purchases.

Zakk is phenomenal!! He always made time to thoroughly answer my questions and has personal professional experience with a lot of their products.I had plenty: I’m a digital camera newbie as my last camera was an all manual Nikon F2AS…lolI wanted a FUJIFILM GFX 100 for myself. Zakk managed to hunt one down through his Fuji rep in short order even though the camera body is pretty hard to get.I was so pleased I decided to buy a Nikon Z7ii system from him as well for my daughter!Great job, Pixel Connection!!

Review №35

I took the Editing Milky Way Photographs Workshop with Zakk and it was outstanding. He used one of the unedited photographs I took of the Milky Way and walked me through the editing process step by step using tools in Lightroom and Photoshop. Some of the tools I was familiar with and others I never thought of using and the results were so impressive. I must mention that I had a rather unique situation for taking the class and am so grateful to the Pixel Connection. I inadvertently signed up for the class thinking it must be online (I admit I did not pay close attention when signing up) and not at the Ohio location. After contacting Zakk at the Pixel Connection, and explaining that I am in California, he was kind enough to accommodate me and conducted a remote session. This type of customer service is so unusual, and I highly recommend the Pixel Connection and Zakk in particular for his expertise and teaching skill.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They let me test out a few different cameras in store, spoke to me at length about my needs and various models, and recommended relevant upcoming events. Had a nice local vibe I was glad to support with my business.

Review №37

Matt is super easy to talk to and do business with, and even returned my call from his person cell after hours. The prices are very competitive with the big outfits in New York and the personal follow-up is far superior to them. My most recent purchase was a Canon lens, which was back-ordered (out of their control). I received a reassuring message that they had not forgotten about me while I waited, a phone call the day they received the lens from Canon, and another message to let me know when it would be delivered and who the carrier would be.What more could you ask for from an internet retailer?

If you’re in the market for new or used camera gear & want to satisfy your, “CAS,” I can recommend Matt & the Pixel Connection team.

Review №58

These guys rock! Ive been searching high and low for the new and highly coveted Canon R5, and have been on a number of waitlists for months to no avail. I commented something to that effect on a post Ihor made in a local photography group, and he took the time to message me a number of hours later saying they unexpectedly had a single R5 show up! What a surprise that was, especially considering the high demand for that camera right now, Im confident they would have had no trouble at all selling it ASAP without me! The level of customer service to personally reach out to me was surprising in the best possible way. When I called the store to purchase it, Michelle was very kind and helpful taking my information. I cant wait to pick it up this week, and The Pixel Connection has certainly gained a fan in me!

Pixel Connection is amazing. They are always so helpful when I go in and they answer all my questions.

I’m not a photographer, my wife is. Every time I come in I’m always greeted in a friendly warm manner. Everyone is quick to help. When I went in to shop for a gift for my wife they were able to see what she currently owns and what products fit best and we’re very knowledgeable about their products and took the time to explain everything to me. The owner even helped me out tremendously. I love shopping here, I’ll definitely be back!

These guys are GOOD! Just purchase another new camera from Matt. Traded some equipment for the purchase, decent allowance, and the new one arrived in great shape.I say arrived because it had to be shipped to me, the Buffalo market hasnt any real brick and mortar camera stores worthwhile.Thanks for the great service. Would buy again.

Review №67

Bought from seller via eBay. Camera lens was defective (Auto Focus didnt work). Returned item in new condition, all in original package. Seller lied and said it wasnt returned in the original box and the lens was dirty (I even had a lens protector on the entire time, and I babied it, because it was a thousand dollar lens) Deducted over a hundred dollars, because he couldnt sell it as new. Keep in mind, its a defective product. You dont want to do business here. Shady people.

Best store I have used for buying photo gear! The store is well stocked, nicely designed and all of the staff I have interacted with are friendly and knowledgeable. I recently attended the Sony event and purchased a new a7iii from Zach who was helpful without being pushy. Prices are definitely competitive and I enjoy being able to walk into a store and try the product, before I make a purchase. I highly recommend the Pixel Connection.

Oh yes, these guys are great, Ive looked through the internet for this lens and this guys are the only one I could find it from that wasnt back ordered.  And the service I received was fast and straight to the point.

Review №74

Employees are very knowledgeable about cameras (mostly digital but they do some film camera stuff too). I like that you can try most lenses etc. before you buy either by renting them or just putting them on your camera body and snapping a few shots to make sure the lens works with your camera.They also sell many accessories (camera straps, off camera flashes etc.)Give them a try! You wont regret it.

Pixel Connection is an asset to the photography and videography communities. Their customer service is excellent and appeals to all levels of knowledge. They make exchanges/returns easy. They also host several special events such as their Demo Day which is an excellent opportunity to meet manufacturer reps, try new equipment, and generally learn more. Based on all of this, Im willing to drive an hour whenever Im considering a purchase.

Communication was great. I purchased a lens on preorder that was due to be released just days before a trip I wanted it for. They made sure everything was set up so I would get it the day before I left, and that there wouldnt be any issues. This was huge being that I live on the other side of the country and purchased with them in hopes of not having to wait too long. Will definitely do business with again.

BEST customer service of any professional camera gear dealer that I’ve ever worked with! I highly recommend the team at Pixel Connection. They will help you with your order and if anything goes wrong at all, they are true to their promise and stay with you every step of the way to be sure that any issue is resolved to the customer’s satisfaction. You simply don’t find that to be true with any of the “big box” dealers of pro camera gear. They will completely earn your repeat business.

Avoid, the blocked me on Facebook after asking what the “Black Friday” Rebel was, and pointing out it was weird you could buy it online without them ever saying which model it was.

I purchased a Sony A7Riii from them over Amazon. For unfortunate reasons I had to return it. It was returned unopened, in the exact box they shipped it to me in. They then kept $400 of the price and all of the sales tax. Th camera was shipped back at my expense exactly following their return instructions. Do not buy from this company, they will lie to you and keep your money!

Pixel Connection came recommended to me, and they did not disappoint! Its very rare these days when you can walk into a store with a list of 20 questions and find salespeople both willing to help you AND knowing the answers to every question.

I was looking for a Sony lens and got a notification that it was in stock with The Pixel Connection. I was somewhat skeptical as it is a very popular lens. I had done my homework and knew that The Pixel Connection was an authorized Sony retailer. I purchased it and then called Customer Service when they opened for the day. They assured me that it I was indeed able to.purchase it. I called them a few more times to make sure and to ask another qustion, and they were very nice and friendly and made me feel welcome. The buying experience with them was the best and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
