Caring for your camera is an integral part of getting great shots. While todays cameras are very resilient and durable, dust, dirt and other contaminants can still ruin great photos.

At Downtown Camera, we recognize the obvious importance of a clean, and properly funtioning camera.We also know that cleaning a camera can be an intimidating task, as well as time consuming. For these reasons, we offer our valued customers all the camera care solutions they need to ensure thier protography experience will never be marred by a rogue peice of dirt.

IN HOUSE SENSOR CLEANING

Your sensor is the eye of your camera, so having dirt in there is only going to cause you trouble. Dirt and dust on the sensor will lead to random blobs and spots on photos, ruining even the best shots. We offer in-house sensor cleaning for all brands of digital cameras, including cleaning the sensor face itself, and cleaning the inside of the camera as well. We use only the best tools to bring your sensor back to like-new image quality. We have a quick turnaround as well, ensuring that dirt and dust can ruin your pictures, or cost you a day of shooting.

LENS CLEANING

Dust in your lens is a fact of life for photographers. Dust seems to love weaseling its way inside your precious lens, and loves causing havoc with your pictures. Thankfully, theres a cure.

We offer lens cleaning solutions for all lenses, so you can worry about the picture, and not the dust. We make sure only the best people work on your lens, to ensure proper function and the same image quality you are used to, but without the little flaws that dust can cause.

FIRMWARE UPGRADES

Digital camera technology is always advancing, and as such there are often updates that come available for your camera that make minor or even major improvements to its function. Getting these upgrades to the camera's firmware (its brain, if you will) can be a bit scary, as an improperly applied firmware patch can ruin a camera instantly. Downtown Camera offers firmware upgrades for all brands of cameras, so you can get the full benefit from your camera and avoid a mistake that results in a costly paperweight. While firmware updates aren't necessarily critical, they can often result in great improvements in areas like focusing, image quality, and more. Come see us to guarantee your camera is at its best.

REPAIRS

When the worst case situation happens, its time to give us a call. We offer repairs on many types of camera equipment, from bodies to lenses, to tripods, to whatever else you can think of. We use only professionals to repair your gear; no duct tape and zip tie work here. Even better, you can come in for a free estimate, without any other obligation.

FILTER REMOVAL

It happens to everybody. You get a great lens, and want to pop on a filter to get the best image possible. But then somehow, the filter gets stuck. Rather then attacking your lens with a wrench (or any other equally bad idea) come see us. We have tools and technicians available that will not only get that filter off your lens, but also work to make sure it doesn't become a recurring issue.
