About Photo Central

Our Story

What has always set Photo Central apart from its competition is its commitment to service and customer satisfaction. These terms are often bandied about in today's marketing repertoire, but at Photo Central we do everything we can to ensure you have a great experience, both in our store and with your equipment after your purchase. In 1975, there were at least 8 independent photo stores in Winnipeg, as well as numerous major photo departments in larger retailers. Today, we stand alone in Manitoba as a full-service, customer-oriented retailer, and have survived because of our commitment to our ideals.

At Photo Central, we pride ourselves on being everything that a big box store is not. Our staff work here because they believe in what we do. If you're tired of buying camera equipment from people who don't understand your hobby or your profession, we encourage you to come and take a look at what we have to offer.

Best Photo shop in Canada

J	Justin Davidow on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best photography stores around! The team at Photo Central really know their stuff and are always helpful in finding just what I need! Stock is somewhat limited, which is understandable for a small shop on the prairies but I'd love to see more of the big brands and inventory on-hand for ad-hoc events and such. Overall I love this little gem, highly recommended if you're searching for photo or video gear and have hard-to-answer questions!
A	AM B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ AAA Amazing service, products and team to help with any/all your needs. In my role at The Winnipeg Chamber I have had the opportunity to deal with this business on a number of occasions. They have always provided 5* quality across the board and I highly recommend them for any products, specialized services and professional consultation. This business has consistently been immensely helpful and I highly recommend them to all.
Y	Yoseph Seo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went there with my family for visa photos a few days ago. It was truly a great and incredible service! Thank you!
M	Michael Galanos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A while back I bought a used 7D and had shipped to Toronto I found out that the flash card slot was not reading the CF cards I emailed the owner of Photo Central Mr. Andrew Toews and explained the situation and he went above and beyond to give me a refund when he got the camera back. You can buy from any photo store today but buying from Mr Toews shop should be your first choice because you will get the great service even when products are not 100 percent satisfactory at least you can count on stellar service which is hard to come by these days. Thanks Andrew Michael
B	Bryce Koch on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went there looking for a new camera. I am just starting out in photography and didn't really know what I wanted. Talked with Bram, one of the employees there. They were very informed on the cameras and helped me pick out a Sony A6300. They explained the product and helped me understand a lot of its features and how it would help out the type of photography I wanted to do. Bram really helped me out. 10/10 Would recommend
L	L F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'm sure if you're a regular and know what to expect, this place can be great, but I've been disappointed twice now. The first time I got a wireless flash trigger for my camera, and found when I got home that it was obviously a return, used, and damaged. More recently I called ahead to ask if they had a particular camera, and was told it was in stock. Upon arrival, it turned out that it was the display model, not a new camera. They were not forthcoming with the fact that it was the display model - I had to ask - and they had been prepared to sell it to me as a brand new camera. I've never had issues like this at any of the other camera shops in the city. Given their questionable ethics around sales, I cannot recommend them to anyone.
L	Lynelle Kratz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Today I was helped out by a lovely associate (I'm so sorry I don't remember your name) who helped me in upgrading to a mirrorless camera. She was very patient with me as I had a lot of questions, but I am very happy with my purchase. They are knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks again!
G	Gordon Miller on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a great group of people! Came in on a Wednesday to print off some photos from a photo shoot to send out for Christmas. They told me it would take 3-4 business days as it was Christmas’s season and they were quite busy. I was stressed as I needed the photos to be shipped out by Friday to arrive in time for Christmas. I expressed this to the gentleman helping me and he told me he would leave a note on my file indicating that they needed to be ready by 5pm on Friday. He was very understanding and helpful, and expressed how he also was going to be scrambling around to finish his Christmas shopping. The very next day (Thursday), I was sent an email informing me they were ready! Incredible service! I highly recommend this place for your photo needs! They really helped put me at ease and came though for me in a pinch!
