I had Visa application photos taken for China and Vietnam. Although more pricey than going to the kiosk on the corner, excellent, professional service. They sized the digital photos exactly as specified fir each application. They photos uploaded perfectly first time. I was relieved that it was a proper job, well done. I'd get my photos taken there again.
What a wonderful experience selling my old camera equipment to Orms. Their customer service was out of this world - efficient, friendly, and personalized. Brent was so lovely to deal with, and the exchange was effortless.
Pro. Friendly service. Free coffee.
Sean was awesome in helping me pick out my first camera! Very knowledgeable staff!

As a professional Canon photographer / trainer, Orms (Cape Town) is an important stakeholder in my total workflow and image making. Great service today getting three of my Canon EOS cameras (sensors) cleaned.Well done! A great experience to see what they offer in-store while waiting for camera sensor cleaning.Would not trust anyone to touch my Canon kit for cleaning and servicing except for Orms.
Amazing experience buying from Orms. Incredibly knowledgeable staff that are happy to help with advice and expertise. Lee helped me to make the right decision on the camera I just bought.
As a photographer, I call this place home! There is no better store you can visit, no matter what level of photography you are on. Best service, best employees, best deals, best everything. You'll see me here at least once a week minimum.Definitely use Orms for all your photography related queries. It's been nearly 10 years since I started working with them, giving only 5 stars is not nearly enough!
The best photo shop I’ve ever been to, hands down, worldwide. Great stock, knowledgeable staff, beautiful displays, and even a clever entrance that looks as if you’re about to enter a dark room. They helped me with a new UV filter and wired remote the day before flying to Svalbard so very grateful to this gem of a shop.
Always great service. Great prices and very good second hand equipment for sale! Definitely my go to shop for anything photography related when in CT!
Super team, every one of them. Gavin in particular has always seen to my photography and videography needs with a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable approach. Well stocked, quality products and sound advice from the team, which makes this a business well worth building a relationship with.
A truly exceptional camera shop! This is the only camera shop outside of Japan where I’ve been blown away by the service, range of stock, layout and knowledge of staff. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing the camera buying experience in Japan, you’ll know what I mean.
I have been renting from Orms for the past 3 years now and all the members of the rental team have all beenoutstanding
Wow, what a pleasure doing business with such technical experts who explain everything so a non-techie like me can understand. Patrick, at ORMS Roeland Street, was the epitome of patience, understanding and helpfulness. Thank you Patrick and ORMS. I will be back.
A HUGE thank you to John for your expertise, patience, interest, education and sharing your enthusiasm with a young photographer. She is most certainly going to be a loyal Canon and Orms supporter over the years to come. It is wonderful to have such professional energy in an establishment. Hats off to you and your team. Thank you
