Camera West
Camera West began nearly 25 years ago in the photographically rich location of Monterey, California, in a small shop right in Carmel. We're not your run-of-the-mill camera store, and we prefer it that way. With three stores in California, in addition to our online storefronts, we're dedicated to providing the best new and pre-owned fine photographic equipment. Our mission is to inspire photography through the use of long-lasting, well-made, and enjoyable photographic tools.
