Our History: From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
Founded in 1980 by brothers Jim and Chris Diamantis, Diamonds Camera began with a focus on camera repair, fueled by a deep passion for photography and a desire to help others maintain their cameras in top condition. This dedication quickly led to expanding into camera sales, providing Australian photographers with access to the latest equipment and expert advice.
In 2001, current Director Nicholas Diamantis launched Camerastore.com.au, one of the very first online camera stores in Australia. At the time, the internet was just emerging, and buying a camera online was an entirely new concept. What began as an experiment quickly turned into a huge success, paving the way for online camera retail across Australia. Although Camerastore.com.au has since been retired to focus on Diamonds Camera as a national brand, the Camerastore name continues to be used on various platforms, reminding us of our pioneering spirit in the industry.
Over the past four decades, Diamonds Camera has evolved from a small Adelaide camera store into a leading name in Australian photography. Our commitment to quality, customer service, and innovation has earned the trust of photographers across the nation.
Evolving with the Times
Our name reflects our journey of growth and adaptation alongside the ever-changing world of photography:
Diamond Photographic: Our roots in camera sales and repair, establishing ourselves as a leader in South Australia.
Diamonds Camera and Video: Embracing the rise of video technology, expanding our offerings to include the latest video cameras.
Diamonds Camera, Video, and Digital: Leading the way in the digital imaging revolution, providing cutting-edge technology and expertise to photographers.
Diamonds Camera: With a focus on cameras that record incredible video quality, the distinction in our name has been removed, and Diamonds Camera now represents a straightforward, trusted name in photography across Australia.
