Our good friends at Nova Photo are sadly closing their doors next week. This downtown location has provided us the ability to offer film and digital photofinishing pick up and drop off from our store for several years.
Since they are closing we are unable to continue processing film. However we will continue to provide digital prints up to a max size of 10×15.
Nova Photo’s Bow valley Square location will print our digital prints. Their digital prints are now produced with the latest technology on a Noritsu D701 printer.
Most of our photofinishing orders now come from our online service. This service has proven to be effective and efficient. You can order digital prints from the comfort of your home, and pick them up at The Camera Store when they are ready!
Remember, we have a vast selection of dark room chemicals and supplies for “do it yourself” film processing. From enlarges and easels to beakers and trays we can provide you with everything you need to keep film alive in your life!

The contest’s goal is to try to find photos, either from personal family photo albums, and/or actual photos taken by your members and other Canadians, of historic, newsworthy events from our past.
Maybe you were there when Terry Fox came through your town, or had a camera in hand when Trudeau or another politician visited for rally.
Going further back, maybe your ancestor helped build the CN Tower, or sailed on a merchant marine ship during WW II, and you have the old black and white shots of these events sitting around the house.
If so, we’re looking for your photos.
Here are the top three prizes, sponsored by Olympus:
