How we test every camera

Before a camera arrives at your door, it undergoes a fixed four-step inspection with us.

  1. Housing and appearance

    We inspect the camera from all angles for scratches, dents, and cracks, and clean it thoroughly.

  2. Buttons and electronics

    Every button, the display, the flash and the battery compartment are tested, so that everything does what it is supposed to do.

  3. Lens and viewfinder

    We check the lens for fungus, haze, and scratches, and ensure that the zoom and focus operate smoothly.

  4. Interior and film transport

    We open the back, check the light seal, and test whether the film advances properly.
