National Camera Exchange - Burnsville - Burnsville, Minnesota

Mark Esslinger

I still like to come to an independent retailer with the knowledge and helpful staff like National Camera. They offer more than used and new cameras; equipment, supplies, video, accessories, and they offer classes and training that goes beyond any others in the cities.

Have purchased 4 cameras from them over the years, always had terrific service. Last transaction was for a used camera body and lenses. After a couple weeks I went back to exchange the body for an upgraded body, great transaction.
Have always found the team there to be helpful and very knowledgeable about the gear. They take the time to understand what you're looking for and do a great job matching your experience, skills and needs to the right equipment.
Would never buy a camera or lens anywhere else.
Added plus, prices are competitive or better than online outlets or the no service bigbox.

I can't rave enough about this store. Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable. Many of the employees have been photographers longer than I've been alive and through the conversations I have with them it really shows. I have bought multiple cameras, lenses, and accessories from this company over the years and would absolutely recommend this store to anybody considering purchasing photography/videography equipment. I've also taken multiple of their classes as well as rented a lens from them - my experiences with both of those services have been excellent as well.

One of my favorite place to hang out at when I'm in Burnsville! Awesome store with a really good 2nd hand inventory.
Andrew is the best and most friendly employee their so please check him out. ?
I bought a used vintage Nikon prime lens here and it was the same price as eBay, without shipping. If I had to buy off eBay, it would have definitely been more ?.
Sometimes used lenses are cheaper than eBay or Craig's list, which is awesome!
This is a good, local, business to support; plus you wouldn't be supporting a mega corporation like Amazon.

This is a tough one. Employees are knowledgeable. Too knowledgeable. Unless you are an aficionado, you will feel like an idiot. If you know what you are talking about, you are treated like royalty. I was only asked if I needed assistance because I was looking at items behind glass. Otherwise the employees the 2-3 employees seemed engaged with each other and the 1 customer that must have been a regular.

Prices are reasonable for firsthand products, comparable to online stores. Second hand products seemed a bit overpriced. I have purchased here before, but would not go back.

I bought my first DSLR here and have taken classes as well. Everyone is very helpful, informative, and genuinely interested in getting you the equipment you need. I wasn't pushed at all towards more expensive models I didn't need. I'll be back for more classes and whatever I need in the future!

Bought my second camera from them recently and found the staff to be very helpful and I'm far from a pro. They patiently answered my questions. They are priced very competitively with internet vendors and when you throw in the free classes you get (which are great) it's hard to beat them,

Another great experience at Camera Exchange. I bought too man boxes for the lump scans but found I didn't need them all and they gave me a refund without questions. You have to give them a lot of credit for being in business this long, especially in the digi era.
