I Bought some new camera gear for my photography business. I was looking for a good video camera. Since I already shoot Nikon, I decided to go with Nikon Z6 II and the 24-70mm f2.8 lens . I also got an adapter so I can use the Nikon lenses I already own. I called the store and Rick was so helpful and through in answering my questions. Later I visited the store and Rick patiently helped again showing me different options possible. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and my experience in the store, excited to start shooting amazing videos with my new camera setup. The expertise these guys have is amazing and it's not something you can find in any online store. You'd have to go in and spend time to get to know the gear, you know. And these guys are more than happy to share their expertise about the gear and that's just awesome. So valuable. Thank you Sammy's Camera. I will be back for future purchases for my business again soon. Saeed

Dropped the camera off for a sensor cleaning. They always do a good job and their 24 hour turn around time is convenient. Stopped in to get a photo printed. You actually have to upload it online and then Samy's sends an email when it's ready. The staff member who explained it was friendly and they have a substantial selection when it comes to photo paper. The value was ok ($5 for an 8x10 on matte paper) and hopefully the turn around time will be close to what they quoted (24 hours).

I recently bought a used film camera and was intimidated going into a camera store not knowing much about cameras and how to use my own. Justin Matthews, who works in repair, went out of his way to be refreshingly kind and helpful in showing me all the functions of my camera. I felt like I could ask any questions no matter how unknowledgeable they were. I’ll definitely be coming back to Samy’s Camera for the customer service like that of Justin’s.

This store has a lot of cameras and camera equipment. Trained sales staff to answer all your questions. You can also rent a camera or possibly you may be interested to buy some of their used cameras. Lots of options at this store plus the prices are very competitive. Revisited 6.20.2018... They have shop many cameras that I am a bit overwhelmed for sure. The salesman was helpful and answered all (a lot) of my questions. By: cmilton111 Google Guide 6.24.2018

Do you fix jammed lens protectors?

Me ow | Aug 17, 2021
J714 Vergara | Aug 17, 2021

They did not, But they receive and send it to authorized repair centers.

I have a Canon t6 & Sigma 18-35 that I think needs calibrating. The canon t6 doesn’t allow you to calibrate through the camera, must do it through the lens, (requires the sigma usb dock). Could you guys do it for me so I don’t have to buy a dock?

Yes first bring it in we will look at it.

Yes, check with the store directly. Also, Samys.com and the store have separate inventories. So if the website says "in stock" that doesn't mean the store has it in stock.

Yes they do. There are some things that they cannot fix and have to be sent away. On those items they can only give you a wide guessamation on what the ultimate charges might be.
