Who Are Roberts Camera and UsedPhotoPro? Well...

We are Human

In a world dominated by automation, at Roberts Camera and UsedPhotoPro we don't want to lose sight of the fact that we are human. All of our core values are derived from this. We are human, we are passionate, we care, we are a voice on the end of the phone and a welcoming face when customers enter our stores. Our goal each and every day is to bring a sense of humanity into every interaction as best we can.

We Value Our Smallness

We're small, and that lets us care more. While the big companies spend their time and money on automation and minimizing customer contact, we enjoy our interactions with you. You are not a spreadsheet or a number. You are a name and a vision and a friend. Your purchase is important to us because it is important to you. We look to build lasting relationships and create value in everything that we do.

We've Got Your Back

We all make mistakes...but at Roberts Camera and UsedPhotoPro we will always make it right. Whether it is through our industry best warranty that takes the risk out of buying used, our responsive, knowledgeable customer service that can offer recommendations, our hands-on warehouse team that can assist with shipments, our rental department's ability to get you urgent loaner gear to save a shoot, or whatever else needs to be done to make it right – we have your back!

We are Passionate Photographers

Photography is a deep and vast hobby and a passion for you and us. We don't just sell cameras; we are passionate photographers with staff members that collect and shoot gear from all points in history and across a wide variety of brands. We love photography and we want you to love it too, no matter what camera you use or what your goals are. Our desire is to make sure you have the right equipment for you and to help you accomplish your vision.

We've Been Doing This Since 1957

On August 21, 1957, Robert (Bob) and Rose Pallman opened their store in downtown Indianapolis: Roberts Distributors, and poured their heart and soul into this small family-owned business. In 1976, Bob and Rose’s son Bruce Pallman took over the day-to-day operations. Bruce's two focuses for Roberts became our expert photography knowledge, and making our customers feel like family.

From Pre-Loved to Re-Loved

In 2012, we opened the door to a new division of the business: UsedPhotoPro. From starting with just a staff of four, UsedPhotoPro has quickly become one of the largest places to buy, sell and trade quality pre-loved camera equipment in the world.

And Into The Future!

We're still proudly family owned and operated. The industry (and the way people shop) has changed, but we know that by continuing to make our customers feel like family - and by having the best, most knowledgeable, and maybe the funniest staff in the business - we can keep this very special place moving forward.
