Ted's World Of Imaging

Glad I bumped into Chris on my first visit (in recent times). He was very professional and I helpful. Highly recommend Ted's World of Imaging because of him.

Leo was extremely helpful as I am a novice when it comes to Bridging Cameras. He was very patient. Everything was explained clearly. All prices were also clearly explained to me. I go there pretty often to purchase frames etc and the staff are always helpful and efficient. Thanks everyone.

I had my first academy session with Charlie to learn more about lighting. I left feeling confident, motivated and excited. The gear and techniques he suggested were exactly what was required for my work. Charlie had a thorough list of topics to cover and made sure we discussed what I was interested in. I’ll definitely be booking another session to keep improving my skills!

Having ordered a replacement battery 4 weeks ago, (on the basis it would be delivered in 2 weeks), then being told 2 weeks latter it was with the distributor and would shortly be available, I went into the store today (yes, I called first, but they do not answer their phone) to find out that the distributor is now saying it will be available in another 2 weeks.If this is the truth it means the battery is not in the country and I have been told a series of untruths.The store is chronically understaffed (maybe due to Covid) and those in the store have a large dose of couldn’t-be-bothered.

Most of the staff at the Teds stores are good and friendly, in all of their stores. However there is one in the Sydney city store with a foreign accent who is particularly nasty and rude. This happened last year but wanted to flag it anyway as the bad experience still lingers in my mind, specially since I love Photography and trying new lenses and gear which might require interactions with camera shops. I went for a lens exchange, was trying to decide between two Fuji lenses, this guy was just arrogant and pushing me to decide immediately, basically plain rude with no patience or assistance whatsoever. his attitude completely changed my view about the store. He actually provided a wrong and much cheaper price details for a lens I chose and I could have walked away paying half less! Later he handed over the transaction to another staff who was friendly, and also discovered his colleague's horrible mistake. Later found out from the other staff that the rude guy had a brain surgery recently and might still be impacted. Just hope he is better now.

I went there the other night and looking for phone macro lenses. One of the customer rep (Asian guy with black T-shirt, short hair, Chinese speaker) asked me what i am after, i told him i needed macro lenses for phone. And he was just being condescending and just told me they are over there"

A photographer and videographer Dream Store.For a company to spend so much effort to create such a beautiful store, obviously means that they are very passionate about the craft of taking photographs.Each brand has its own special section and all the latest cameras are on display.Plus, there is an Academy and workshop space, and at the back there is a exhibition of excellent photographs taken during the pandemic.

Don't know about the sales. But worst place to rent a device. I wasn't comfortable uploading personnel documents to the dated website (don't really complaign about it because it's overwhelming to keep up with web tech). So I walked to the store to show credentials and make a booking. Sent home saying that book only online and pick up in person. So was back in dated site trying to book it. From somepoint onwards only shows me a Melbourne location to pickup.Had to delete some local-storage varibles in browser to make it working. (average viewer, sorry!! you might not get it).Anyway I had to select 2 days for the rent since I can pick-up/drop-off only when I'm visiting office at CBD so was not possible to negotiate time in online.Had some googling and was able to book same lens in Camera Hire" in Alexandria. Per day rent $50 less. They really didn't want to charge me 2 days rent when I use it only for 2 hrs and possible pick up/drop-off being Monday-noon & Wednesday-noon. It was worth the 30min ride."

Large camera store with lots of gears from many brands to get your hands on.Not sure why items like bags don’t have price tags on them. It can take a bit of a wait to ask staff for the prices when it’s busy.Friendly and helpful staff. Also like the small gallery in the back.Enjoy coming here when in Sydney to have a browse and check out what’s new in the digital imaging world.

I had a lens for Nikon which had failed and was not repairable due to age. I found the staff very helpful, and they respected my wish to limit my spending, providing me with the option of a second hand replacement from a better brand.
