What our customers say about us…

From the Aiken Standard, December 27 2010

In planning for a new camera purchase for work, I was dreading the hours I would spend searching the Internet or browsing the sales fliers to find the best deal. Turns out, the best deal was right at Chris' Camera Center in downtown Aiken.

The personal service was outstanding and the price was comparable to any deal found on the Internet or at a large department store. The difference was having experts advise me on which camera would best suit my needs. I purchased a digital camera, and then Mr. Lydle programmed it for immediate use. Talk about customer service - I can maneuver most manuals for electronics, but it's not my favorite thing to do!

The entire experience was enjoyable, and it was refreshing to speak and work with a business owner that could not only assist me with the purchase, but also recommend equipment to consider going forward to make my job easier.

"I didn't really understand digital cameras until Chris taught me."

Lionel Smith, Lionel Smith Ltd. 

"I knew there was something special about digital cameras but I didn't really know what it was until I took Chris Lydle's digital camera course. The course was free when I bought my camera.

"Knowing little-to-nothing about digital cameras, I wanted to talk to the most authoritative person I knew - that was Chris.

"Chris made the whole thing meant sense. Digital cameras are great, and as far as I'm concerned the only place to get one is at Chris' Camera Center."

…thanks for your confidence, Smitty!

“Mommy & Daddy take pictures, but my Granddaddy is the only one who ever makes prints”

“My Mommy and Daddy are used to the latest computers and they both have digital cameras - but when they want their photos of me to really look good, they let Granddaddy make real photo prints.

“Granddaddy wants my pictures to be the best!!!"
