Company History
Diamond Photographics was founded in 1982 by brothers Jim and Chris Diamantis. The store was initially a camera repair business but soon expanded into camera sales. Since then, the store has expanded and quickly become South Australia's number one camera store and one of the leading camera stores in Australia.
The Name Transitions
The company has evolved with the industry and our name reflects it. Through the last three decades, Diamonds has transitioned its name showcasing our commitment to the latest technology.
Diamond Photographics
Diamonds was initially knows as Diamond Photographics. Its primary business was camera sales and repairs. It was one of the first such stores in South Australia and soon became the leader.
Diamonds Camera and Video
As technology increased and video cameras became more affordable, Diamonds soon expanded into the then very new video camera industry. First models included the Canon and Panasonic Super 8 versions, soon after being replaced by VHS and VHS-C.
Diamonds Camera, Video and Digital
With digital imaging now such a major part of the business, Diamonds more recently modified it's name to include the "digital" component. This makes it clear that Diamonds is at the fore-front of technology as it is constantly re-engineering itself to incorporate such new technological advancements. Digital cameras are now a major part of the business making up a substantial component of all items sold.
