Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 218 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the helpfulness and knowledge of the support staff, especially when assisting with product choices and order inquiries. Reviewers also frequently mention fast delivery and prompt order fulfillment, with some receiving their items even earlier than expected. The clear communication regarding shipping and order status is also a positive point for many. However, a significant number of people express dissatisfaction with inventory issues, frequently finding that items listed as in stock are actually unavailable, leading to delays and unfulfilled orders. Some customers also report poor communication regarding these stock problems and a lack of responsiveness from customer support when issues arise, with some orders being partially shipped or not arriving at all. There are also concerns about the order confirmation system and the clarity of product information.

Thomas was great!

Had an issue with my camera being out of stock which is annoying. But Thomas was extremely helpful with trying to rectify my situation, communication was amazing, he followed up as promise and made sure my replaced camera was dispatched while being on the phone!

Quick and easy assistance

When I realised my order wasn't going to arrive in time, they immediately cancelled and refunded it, and suggested other similar items that were in stock.

Communication is non-existent.

I ordered a camera flash as a guest on the site.
I had no notification that my order went through and after a couple of days sent an email (waste of time) so I rang. I only had their phone number when the PayPal receipt came in. I was concerned that I had lost my money to a scam. Please send out some sort of communication to let people know that their order is in fact legitimate. I was happy with the short amount of time it took to get here.

Purchased a Canon EOS R3 ($6,800) from…

Purchased a Canon EOS R3 ($6,800) from DigiDirect Parramatta on 18/04/2026. The camera was dead on arrival (no power/display).

When I returned to the store and requested a refund, I was told this was not available and that I had to accept a replacement or wait for the item to be sent to Canon. This contradicts Australian Consumer Law for a major failure.

Since then, resolving this has been extremely frustrating. The store manager has not responded to emails or made themselves available, and the online support team has been unable to assist, repeatedly redirecting me back to the store without any resolution.

I even contacted Canon myself to cancel a bonus claim in preparation for returning the item on the day return the camera, yet the store has still not provided clear support or confirmation for the refund.

Overall, this has been a drawn-out and unnecessarily difficult process for what should be a straightforward DOA case. I am now proceeding with NSW Fair Trading, and if required, NCAT to enforce my rights.

If you purchase from this store, be prepared to push hard to have your consumer rights recognised.

battery for my Canon1Dx Mk2

I was after a battery for my Canon.
Camera House in Geelong recommended I contact you for the specialist product. I dealt with Clare in the Melbourne Store and she was so knowledgeable, professional and customer focused
Had the battery in 2 days.

Camera bag MIA

I ordered a camera bag and didn't receive a confirmation email. I contacted customer support and asked to chat with a team member. Thomas was able to find my order and confirm that it was soon to be packed and shipped with a tracking number. I would give 5* for his response but this is not the first time I've had to follow up on an order. Digidirect need to improve the order confirmation system.

Worth waiting for …

My item was on back order for quite a few months. I was updated constantly as to the progress of the stock arriving in Aus. Amazing service - the attention I was given - the service with sales people - amazing! Sometimes things are just out of stock - that’s life - but being updated and assured that I was not forgotten made me feel like I mattered. Thank you so much.

Finally a happening!

No actual follow-up to initial receipt of my email. Obviously very busy people in store, so I can see why they don't rate more than 3 stars to online requests.or emails - just too busy.

Finally I went into digi direct today (22 April) their Elizabeth St Melbourne and purchased a canon RF 24-70mm L lens but it was still pretty laid back in store but eventually someone did notice me

DigiDirect are tops

I often purchase photography equipment from DigiDirect. In my experience their staff are knowledgeable and efficient in dealing with on-line orders and their prices are significantly lower than those of other photography retailers.

Manager/ senior staff was admirable

I was initially going to purchase my camera through another store but since I was in the area, I thought i’d try digidirect. The person who I was really impressed with is the senior male staff/ manager. He was very busy attending to other clients when I got there but he would stop and assist the young lady I was asking help from. They initially said no to matching sony’s online offer but since the manager was in close proximity he told the staff not to assume they know everything. So he matched sony’s offer for me. It was very pleasant and smooth transaction and my camera body was delivered on time.

Also, it was closing time and I needed to wait for my ride home. I was about to leave the premises when the manager stopped me and offered me to stay inside while I wait for my ride. I didn't know the area very well but he told me I can wait inside even after 4pm because he didn't want me to get robbed since I was carrying pricey gears. That level of care to customers is beyond! I didn't get his name sadly. But he was such a good human being. Thank you! May you be rewarded for being an exemplary employee.
Purchased sony products on the 29th of March.
