Angela, Bentley, David, Dylan and Tyler at Camera House Newcastle bring genuine photographic expertise to every scanning project. Camera House is part of Australia's most established photography retail network, with deep experience in handling photo equipment and preserving photographic material. The Newcastle team treats every album with care, understanding that the photos inside are irreplaceable.
Camera House Newcastle uses Capture Australia's proprietary glare-removal technology to digitise bound photo albums, loose prints, and photos or prints behind glass or plastic, including large-format and oversized prints and framed portraits up to 45cm x 70cm. Slides, negatives, film of any format and VHS tapes aren't part of our photo camera scanning technology, but partner shops may be able to help with these separately, so it's worth reaching out to them. Albums stay assembled and photos stay in their sleeves throughout the entire scanning process.
Camera House Newcastle is a retail walk-in store. You can drop off your albums during any trading hour without booking in advance. For very large collections of twenty albums or more, calling ahead on 02 4926 2737 allows the team to set aside dedicated time for your intake. The team will inspect your collection at drop-off, give you an estimated photo count and an indicative turnaround.
At drop-off the team will inspect your albums, give you an estimated photo count and an indicative quote. You receive high-resolution JPEG files delivered via a secure cloud link, ready for reprints, photobooks, sharing on Google Photos and long-term backup. A USB drive is available on request. Pricing depends on your collection size and type, and the final count is confirmed before payment. For large collections of 500 photos or more, scanning can often work out to around one dollar per photo or less. Ask at drop-off about scanning your whole collection. Turnaround is typically two to three weeks depending on volume and current queue length.
