Patrick is -the- guy to go to for cameras/lens. He knows everything and is super informative and patient. I've been buying from him for almost 10 yrs. Tell him Audree sent ya and get hooked up!

All the staff here are so educated on the products. They never leave you feeling like you’re still unsure and will talk to you as long as they have to to make sure you understand.

LA Home & Style

Samy's camera is one of the best camera shops in the entire country . The staff know their stuff and they also have classes and rentals.

Samy's is great for camera , lighting, and grip rentals. But, the line can be long. Give me a call and I can pick up gear for you, whether or not I'm assisting for you! Tim 612-867-0085

They will always try and push the expensive stuff first. So keep asking about alternatives until you get what you need. Love this place.

Friendly and helpful staff . Great selection. Ask for James in repairs- he's the man and does great camera cleanings

Juston Payne

This is Los Angeles's answer to New York's B&H. It's a huge and impressive store with wildly knowledgeable employees.

Brian Rodda

Sometimes these guys have soooo much attitude...and sometimes not. It's hit or miss I say, but the products are amazing!

Jen Pollack Bianco

Customer service here is NOTORIOUS for not calling back-- especially the repairs department. Be pro-active about following up.

Monica Alfaro

Very helpful staff ! I always find what I want and get the answers to my questions.

Debra D

These guys are great...they'll work with you and come up with a better deal!

g oconnor

Great selection of used lenses, best source of 4X5 film .

Erin G.

Rent photog equipment on Friday after 3, and return monday before 11 for only a one-day charge. But reserve your favorite lens in advance to avoid slim pickings.

Mike Humphrey

Some of the employees might be nice, but prepare for eye rolling and short answers about 95% of the time.

Hank Fortman

The stairs to the 3rd floor make me feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack...every time!

Jessie on the first floor is off the chain!

Temma Hankin

Bad for my wallet. Good for my equipment shelves.

Grant Kirkwood

It's like crack for people serious about photography and videography.

Julian Bleecker

Always, always disappointing. Nothing beats B&H and this place is just anemic in comparison. Crap hours, underwhelmed staff — except for the commodity stuff you can get on Amazon, horrible inventory.

Dan Burke

Consistently the most unfriendly, condescending and rude camera employees. Patrick B in Olympus dept will be sure to make you feel unwelcome. Don't ask any simple questions.

Jesse Blanco

Ooof. Only when there is no other option.
