Expert optics.
Honest prices.
Zero guesswork.
From vintage film bodies to today's mirrorless systems, we source, test, and stand behind every camera and lens that leaves our floor. If it's not right, it doesn't go out the door.
A camera store that actually knows cameras.
888 Camera Express sits on Lexington Avenue in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, and we've built our reputation the hard way — by treating every customer like a professional, whether they're picking up their first point-and-shoot or upgrading to a flagship body.
We buy and sell new and pre-owned equipment, and every pre-owned item goes through our own inspection process before it hits the floor. Shutters are tested. Sensors are checked. Lenses are cleaned, dehumidified, and optically verified. We don't sell what we wouldn't use ourselves.
- New and pre-owned cameras and lenses

Trade-Ins Welcome
Upgrade your setup and apply your current gear toward the next one. We evaluate trade-ins fairly and quickly.
We've been doing this long enough to know the difference between a good deal and a bad one.
Camera shopping in a big city is easy to get wrong. You walk into a place that doesn't know its inventory, or one that pushes margin over match. We built 888 Camera Express to be the opposite — a shop where the equipment speaks for itself and the advice is free.
In the middle of Midtown.
