Adorama is a New York camera and electronics store, in business since 1974, selling cameras, lenses, lighting, video and pro audio gear, computers, drones, gaming and musical instruments, along with used gear and trade-ins.
Before you hunt for a code, check its price match and restocking rules, since opened gear can cost a minimum 15% to send back.
Adorama started out with a focus on photography and has since grown into a group of related businesses. Alongside the main store, it runs Adorama Rentals for gear hire, Printique for photo books, wall decor and printed gifts, Scuba.com for diving equipment and SunnySports for outdoor products, plus a business, education and government arm with B2B pricing.
The catalog covers mirrorless, point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras from brands such as Sony, Canon and Nikon, along with tripods, optics and binoculars, home electronics and recording studio gear. Its New York City store offers store-only exclusives, one-on-one advice, services and repairs. The company also hosts events, runs a Learning Center and sells Adorama Protect plans.

Decide between a price match and a promotion early: the match excludes daily, hourly and seasonal promotions, bundles and marketplace items, so pick whichever lowers the total more.
