You have likely heard about the Governor’s request for all non-essential retail businesses to close. At Dan’s, we are following this request. We ceased our retail operations Monday evening. This was a sudden event, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will be monitoring the email info@danscamera.com so if you have an urgent need please reach out to us. While we do not yet know what options we may have to continue even limited service we will do our best to evaluate any requests you may have.
We are continuing our mail-order service and shipping cameras and related products ordered through our website. UPS will still be delivering during this event, and shipping will be free. If you have any gear-related questions please send us an email and we will look to connect with you. We have some staff working remotely to help you, as we realize being able to continue enjoying your hobby may be a bright spot during this situation.
These are difficult times for everyone. We appreciate your
Since 1977 Dan’s Camera City has been a business focused on continuously improving and evolving to remain relevant to our customers and to attract future customers. We have seen our customers wanting to interact and experience their hobby in a more hands-on environment. While we have been doing this through our various education classes and marketing events, we felt the need to develop a more convenient way for customers to gain hands-on experience. We feel that now is the time to announce Phase One of creating Dan’s Urban Photo Park.
Did you know that we could see Martin Tower from right here at Dan's in Allentown? On Saturday afternoon, Scott grabbed the Nikon P1000 to take a few last pictures from this view. See? It's right there.
No really. It's right there down toward the end of the road, just poking up over the trees. Here, we'll zoom in.
See it now? Just above the trees, slightly to the right of the stop sign.
And we can keep zooming in...
Ok, let's zoom all the way in, to the maximum zoom of the crazy-long lens on the Nikon P1000.
So long, Martin Tower. Even if you were just barely visible, you were still our neighbor.
