Making signs and decals taught us what real expertise looks like. That's why Peterborough Camera, Copies & More has become essential to our workflow—for camera rental, professional printing and copying, repairs, and document services that never cut corners.
What struck us most at the industry event was how thoroughly they understood both the technical side and the client's vision. They didn't oversell equipment or rush you through the process. A real partnership.
We first met the Peterborough Camera, Copies & More crew at an industry event, and what stayed with me was how clearly they explained what they do and why they do it that way. The presentation was honest, specific to the problems photographers and businesses actually face, and backed by real experience. We have gone back a few times since, and when a friend asks where to go in town or what rental service understands creative work, I send them first to camera rental, where the gear on offer is laid out by the day or the week. Check out their shop page on Google (their Google listing).
What they offer
Camera Rental
They maintain an extensive inventory of professional-grade cameras and lenses. Whether you need a DSLR for a weekend project, mirrorless equipment for a studio shoot, or specialty optics for a specific look, they have the gear and the expertise to match you with exactly what will work for your project. They know cameras the way photographers know cameras, not the way retail staff do.
Professional Copying & Printing
From high-volume document reproduction to fine-art photo printing, their equipment handles color, black-and-white, and specialty finishes. They've got the speed and quality that professionals expect, whether you need it today or have time to plan it. The difference between a copy shop and a professional service is attention to detail, and that's what you get here.
Camera Repair
When a camera needs repair, you want someone who understands your equipment, not someone who'll swap parts from a manual and hope. Their technicians work on everything from vintage film cameras to the latest digital bodies, and they'll tell you honestly if a camera is worth fixing or if replacement makes more sense. That integrity is rare.
Peterborough Camera, Copies & More lists camera cleaning and service for every brand right beside its rental, copying and shredding work, so you can see what they handle before you carry a camera in.
Lamination & Document Services
They offer lamination for durability and preservation, binding for finished projects, and shredding services for secure document destruction. These services solve real problems for small businesses, photographers managing portfolios, and anyone dealing with important documents. The turnaround is fast, the quality is consistent, and they'll never make you question whether the job was done right.
Shredding is the service people forget to ask about. They charge by the pound and the rate drops the more you bring, so we save up old invoices and take them in one trip. Their paper shredding by the pound page has the details.

How far ahead we book rental gear
A closer look at the workspace—where precision and preparation make every service, from camera rental to printing and repair, genuinely professional.
Lamination is the cheap fix we reach for once a print has been handled a few times. Peterborough Camera, Copies & More has a plain explainer on how lamination protects prints from spills, creases and fading, and it is worth a read before you hand out proofs.
What people say
Essential for any creative business. We couldn't run our projects without them. Every time we've needed something—whether it's last-minute gear, printing, or repairs—they've delivered on time and exactly as specified. They treat your problem like it's their problem.
Local Producer & Director
The attention to detail is exceptional across everything they do. Lamination doesn't sound exciting, but they get it right every time, handle specific requirements without complaint, and they're patient when you're new to the work. That kind of reliability builds trust.
Design Studio Owner
Inside their copy room
The before: documents scattered, uneven output quality, missed deadlines and no clear workflow. The after: everything streamlined, documented and scheduled with precision. Copying turns invisible when it works this well, and you get to focus on your actual work.
Their workspace is clean, organized, and equipped for serious work. Whether it's a batch of 50 copies or 5,000, you can see the difference between a shop that treats copying as transactional and one that treats it as their craft. The equipment is well-maintained, the staff knows the machinery like they know their own tools, and there's genuine pride in the output.
When one of our sign customers needs a stack of copies, we send them to Peterborough Camera, Copies & More, because their copying and printing service runs black and white or colour on sheets up to 12 by 18 inches and can collate, bind and laminate the job in the same visit.
How to reach them
We've trusted them completely for our service needs over months of working together. They're reliable, they understand what we do, they deliver without drama, and they stand behind their work. Based on that experience, we're confident in recommending them.
