Camera Electronic opened on Stirling Street, Perth, in 1968. The same year Apollo 8 orbited the moon. Over 55 years later, the store is still there. The photography industry around it has changed entirely. Camera Electronic has navigated every shift and remained the specialist resource Perth photographers trust for equipment, advice, repairs, hire, film developing, and the full lifecycle of their practice. This is the story of why.

Camera Electronic stocks, services, and supports photographers in-store across Perth and Australia-wide online.

In 2006, wedding photographer Nando Harmsen could not afford the fast lenses his next job required. He rented. He took the job. He delivered the work.
