- Mike’s Camera re-energizes the way you think, feel, and practice and enjoy the fun of photography. Established in 1967 in downtown Boulder, Colorado in the days of the hippie movement that took on roots early on in Boulder. An Army photographer turned businessman, Mike wanted to create an oasis of for aspiring photographers to share his passion for pictures and at that time, the precision photographic instruments of the time, primarily Japanese and German photographic equipment. The single small store in downtown Boulder developed a reputations throughout the front range for being a unique place where one could find just about every camera, slide projector and enlarger along with the widest array of films, chemicals for developing and printing photographs for the professionals and aspiring photographer alike, In 1980 the current owners, the Christianian family purchased the store. The Christianians added more product lines, professional gear, a video department and complete photo lab, processing and printing services to the existing Black and White lab. They installed one of Colorado’s first One-Hour minilabs, custom color printing, E-6 dip-and-dunk processing and one of the country’s first home movies to Video transfer facility.

Very knowledgeable staff, and would consider a specialty camera store. Found a lot of items in stock that I couldn't find in the big box stores. Great looking store, would definitely recommend going in for at least a visit!!!
I am writing on behalf of my mom who does business here. She has been very pleased with the service and selection of cameras. She prefers film cameras and has had a difficult time finding quality processing for her film. Mike's has done a very good job on her photos. She gives us photo books of events and I agree that they have all come out very well.
My cousin was quoted a price for a Nikon kit and, though my cousin had confirmed a few times the price over the phone, once my cousin got to the shop the owner/manager said he was sorry but the price he quoted was incorrect and was $100 more. My cousin had made a 1hr round trip to buy the camera kit but was thoroughly let down. I would not recommend this shop as a place to buy a camera due to the shocking customer service. I can only think he quoted a low price over the phone to get my cousin into the shop. Imagine what the after sales support would be. There are plently of other shops. I have never seen a shop behave in this appauling way.
