Pro Camera Hawaii - Aiea, Hawaii

Joe Mendez

Been going here for a few years solid group of dudes and knowledgeable with good selection. Only negative I have called and needed a tripod was 5 mins away and told them I’d buy one and I needed it for a shoot that evening told me go to Best Buy. Ouch, hope it was atleast one bomb chick or Dinnah you had that couldn’t wait. But overall they good.

I bought all my camera equipment from Pro Camera Hawaii . A Nikon Z8 and 5 lenses to go with that . The staff was helpful very , knowledgeable and cordial. I also experienced equipment rental from this store! Top notch, I was pleased with Cannon D6 and the lenses! Performance was amazing. Tony is being great at communicating with about special orders ! The store was easy to find . I never have problems with parking.
As a costumer I feel so grateful to have a local camera shop like Pro camera Hawaii in the island and specifically that is Local owned. You can definitely feel the Aloha. Below are some pictures taken with the cameras and lenses from his shop. Water fall Nikon Z8 , Nikkor X 12/30 f4. Sunrise picture Cannon D6 EF24/105mm f4

Thank the lord that we have a local Photography store that's excellent.

TLDR: The store keeps in stock all the gear that most enthusiasts and pros would purchase. Very easy to find place with very kind staff. Efficient and professional, you won't be disappointed.

Now some anecdotal stuff to demonstrate how well the store operates...

In the wake of the release of the venerable Nikon z6III, I was able to order one for pick up on the SAME DAY at their store. The process was smooth and very pleasant; the clerk was very personable and even showed me some of the new Z mount lenses that they have for rent.

Fast forward a week, and I realize that my model had defect: a red stuck pixel on the rear LCD (think a Dead pixel, but instead of having no light, its just a single color, red). It was a case of "well, now that I see it I cannot unsee it". Of course, this is nothing on Pro Camera's fault, if anything it was a matter of unlucky fate that a rare defect found its way onto my model.

Still within the 2 week return period, I emailed the store on a Friday night, and was very surprised that I got a response from Tony (I believe the business owner) saying that I can come in on Sunday for the staff to evaluate my camera. Now that is what I call response time.

Sunday, I was able to bring the camera and its materials to the store to demonstrate the issue which the employee was able to see and confirmed that its a returnable defect. He gave me a couple of options, of which I vouched for returning the camera for the kit as the body only option was sold out. I paid the difference of course, as this was the more expensive option. This turnaround was quick, only about 5 minutes and I was out of the store with a camera which does not have the stuck pixel issue.

All in all, this is a very professional place. I would, without hesitation, recommend those looking for camera stuff to reach out here before going to Best Buy or other bigger retailers.

Arrived in Maui on a Sunday and realized I left my polarizers at home. Nothing g available on Maui. Contacted the folks via online message. I was promptly contacted on Monday morning wit a link to their polarizers, with a promise to get them shipped from Ohau ASAP. The package arrived via FedEx the next morning. I couldn't have been happier!

Five stars but for painful web interface.

The only real option for renting camera equipment here with a rental reservation/payment interface that was cutting edge in 1998 and no walk-in rental/payment option. ProCamera concedes the system not working well with Apple devices, trying to repair. Some of the counter help is more pleasant than others of the staff, all are knowledgeable about what they have to rent. Wire service/assignment photojournalist with experience renting in SF/L.A. and equipment compares to that (with Fuji X system) but process of renting is a PITA, web interface needs to be brought into 21st century. We in HI have been a backwater for many things since I was a kid, this is one way we still are.

I live in Atlanta and had to fly to Hawaii to find a great brick and mortar camera store. These guys have it all, even the Nikon Z6iii. So much better than shopping on line. Thanks guys!

If you're looking for a local camera shop look no further than pro camera Hawaii. They carry a wide selection of gear for Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sony, etc. The owner, Tony is also one of the nicest guys I've met. Always willing to help you out, answer questions you have, give advice, and teach people about their cameras. They even have a nice selection of equipment to rent, albeit most for Canon, Nikon, and Sony, but he's always adding more and looking at rentals for Fuji aswell.

Super nice associates that know their gear. Matt and his crew were knowledgeable about their products and assisted with any equipment I wanted to try before buying.
