Camera World was a retailer of photographic equipment and photofinishing services based in Portland, Oregon, United States, and founded in 1977.

[7][8] The business was originally a single store, located in the ground floor of the Swetland Building, at SW 5th and Washington in downtown Portland.

The Swetland Building continued to house the company's mail-order operations and inventory, as well as administrative offices.

Founder J. D. Shin sold the business in 1997 to Sverica International, an investment group based in San Francisco.

[13] In the late 1990s, Camera World's corporate offices and distribution center were located in Northeast Portland.

[14] In 2000, the company built a new warehouse in the Portland suburb of Beaverton and moved its offices and most other operations to that location.
