"Buying a $1000 camera online (or any electronics purchase online) can be a bit shaky unless you can trust the store that you are doing business with. I chose to purchase the Sony A65VK from Bedford after a fair amount of searching online for a certified dealer.

Sony.com was on backorder due to the supply chain disruptions, Amazon.com's resellers were either soldout, required additional shipping fees or a bundle that I was not interested in. Bestbuy would ship to a store to pick-up but I don't like the bigbox and local online retailers can be questionable.

After finding Bedford, I searched online reviews and all were very positive and appeared to be from real people (not the store itself). After placing the order, I received a call and subsequent voice message from the store wanting to know if I really placed the order - likely a fraud check (I'm 2 express stops out of Grand Central). I returned the call and shortly received an email that the order had been accepted. The camera shipped that afternoon and I received it quickly thereafter via USPS Priority Mail.

I will keep Bedford in mind for any future purchases based on this transaction. Thanks.

"Overall I ended up with the camera I wanted, but because of a less-than-knowledgeable employee (Mr. C), it was harder to accomplish than should have been the case. Initially I went in and spent an hour with a very knowledgeable and helpful salesman (Mr. L) who easily answered all of my questions. A week later I brought my wife in to try out the 3 cameras I had narrowed it down to, to see which one she preferred, but Mr. L was on lunch break and I had to deal with Mr. C. He couldn't answer any in-depth questions with any confidence or precision, but he did helpfully hand me every thing I asked to see and was happy to look up prices. When we made our decision, he ended up selling us the wrong package (the body of the camera with no lens, which cost $50 more than the special sale price of the body with a lens.) Unfortunately, I didn't realize what had happened until I got home and unboxed it. When I returned to the store to swap it for what we had actually asked for, they were very helpful and apologetically acknowledged Mr. C's shortcomings.

Bedfords is the only dedicated camera store in my area and we are very happy to have them.

"My experience with Bedford was excellent. Ordering online was easy. I got a call from Shawn, telling me that I could get free shipping if I let him change my order to Priority Mail with the USPS. I did change to that choice which saved me money. Much appreciated! The package arrived on time and in great shape.The camera and lens are awesome. I would be happy to do business with Bedford again."

"I dealt with Tim in the N Little Rock store and he was very helpful and knowlegable on the camera I was interested in and gave me options of others. I actually bought a different one than I had went to look at because of additional features that he showed me. I bought a Sony a65 and I'm highly pleased with it. Thank you for the excellent service!!"

"I was amazed with my experience. I called Bedford Camera and Video to clarify whether the Sony A77 camera I wanted was in stock, then ordered it online. I received it much sooner than I expected, even though it was still not available on the Sony web site."

"Excellent transaction! They had in stock the Sony A77 with kit lens at a time no one else did because of the floods in Thailand. Arrived promptly at my doorstep. Will deal with them again,"

"I had been wanting to buy the Sony A77 DSLR, but because of the flooding in Thailand, shipments to the USA had been delayed. I usually buy my photographic equipment from one of the big photo & video stores in New York, but they too were experiencing delays in receiving the A77s. I searched online for any place that might have the Sony in stock. I came across a forum that mentioned that Bedford had them in stock. This was Friday, October 28th. I immediately went to their website that stated that they had some that they could ship out the following Monday on the 31st. I called to verify if they indeed had the A77 in stock. I talked to Sean who informed me that they had some A77s coming in on Monday. I immediately placed my order online! The bonus was that my order would be shipped Priority Mail at NO extra cost. Sweet. Bedford sent me emails updating the status of my order. I liked that alot. Well, my order did indeed ship on Monday as promised and when I received my tracking number, I found out that someone (Sean?) upgraded my shipping to UPS 2nd Day Air. I was thrilled. My A77 arrived on Wednesday, in a well packed shipping box. I can't wait to try out my new camera this weekend. Thanks Sean and Bedford camera!"
