"They prominently displayed an ad for a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera body for $2149 - an extremely low price. They accepted orders, then sent out an email later saying they had "oversold" the camera, but expected to deliver in 4-6 weeks. 12 weeks later, they have not updated the status on my order - "backordered" - and have not responded to multiple messages to their customer support.
I wonder if they ever delivered on any of the orders they accepted? Maybe this was just a "click-bait"-type deal to increase their website traffic numbers?
Who knows - I just know I won't try to deal with these characters again."
"For an upcoming trip, our tour operator suggested this particular camera as a good balance between simple point&shoot cameras and getting quality pictures. I searched online and found that 42nd St Photo had much better prices than even Amazon. Their website was easy to navigate and the whole experience was 1-2-3. I also ordered extra batteries and hi-capacity SD cards. And, like Amazon, when they promise delivery in, say, 7-10 days, your stuff comes much sooner - and it did. I have milestone celebrations coming up for some of our grandkids and I'll definitely be returning to their site for appropriate gifts."
"I had a problem with an order the general manager contacted me and resolved it, I am very pleased and will continue to shop with them in the future

"I ordered online a camera body and lense. 42nd Street called the next day to confirm my order. The camera body was no longer supported by the manufacture under warranty and 42nd wanted to make sure I was aware of this before they shipped out my oder. They also checked to see if I wanted to include filters that were also on sale for the size of lenses that I ordered. The lense, camera body and filters have all been great."
"I bought a Canon 60X Zoom for my sister from 42nd Street Photo. I searched the internet and several camera shops in my area, and 42nd Street Photo had the best offer by far. They were nice enough to phone me soon after I placed my order on line to let me know it would cost about $50 to ship the camera to Alaska where she was working. I had them ship the camera to me instead, for free shipping, because I was planning to visit my sister in Alaska within the month. The personnel at 42nd Street Photo were easy and very nice to work with. "
