    My fave camera shop!
    Ron R.

    This Clairemont Mesa version of George's Camera is North Park's version on steroids! I have been a customer of the North Park George's Camera shop for a good number of years but became familiar with Clairemont Mesa's George's Camera because I signed up for two photography classes over the last two months, BOTH of which I absolutely LOVED! Until April of this year, I never had a need to visit this shop. I always enjoyed the crew at North Park and have bought items from them for my camera and other accessories. But I can tell my readers that if you want to see more options than what the North Park shop offers, Then get out to the Clairemont Mesa store. Aside from the large offering of new cameras, lenses, multiple sizes and brands of camera bags (I've bought two from George's, as I love the Tenba brand), straps, a large rental display, among other many accessories too many to count! But today was Photography 202 class. I had attended the 2-hour Photography 101 in April and found it to be an outstanding course. This class mainly teaches you about your DSLR or mirrorless camera from the raw basics. It serves as a stellar foundational class to what you'll get in Photography 202, in which you'll spend a good deal of time shooting photos from your learning experience in this 3-hour course. These classes do come with a fee, but they are totally worth it if you wish to learn your camera or make photography a hobby. For me, I mainly use my Canon M-50 for YouTube videos that I create, but decided that it was time to learn the photo side of things since it takes such good photos. Well, I must thank our above-board excellent instructor, Larry McDaniel, for giving those of us who attended the 202 class today an amazing and totally worthwhile learning experience! I'll need other photography accessories and surely more classes in the days ahead. Be assured! I know exactly where I'll be going find my gear and to take my photography classes!! Recommend: VERY HIGH

    I had the pleasure of taking a night sky astrophotography class in May at George's camera, it was hosted by Larry from George's Camera and Paul Van Allen from Nikon. The cost was $35 for just the class at George's, but if you signed up for the workshop out at Joshua tree in June, you could get the workshop and the class for $199 total, and save the $35. The class was very good with plenty of information about night sky photography, including long exposure, light painting, time lapse, and star trails. Paul also covered what apps to use to find the stars, what website to check for dark sky locations, stacking software, what gear to bring, changing your picture control settings, High ISO NR, white balance, and all the other settings for all the topics. There were hundreds of slides and hints which we were allowed to take pics of instead of trying to write it all down. Paul really knows his stuff and tried to be sensitive to the non Nikon owners. He gave us his social media information and a way to check the settings on all of his pictures. After the class, the 14 of us that signed up for the $199 workshop and class, got a special treat from Paul for Nikon gear to use at George's, this alone was worth the price of the class and workshop. The workshop meeting time was 5 pm and we got to our spot at Joshua tree a little after 6. We were treated to have not only Paul from Nikon there but 2 other Nikon reps and a Nikon ambassador, and 2 or 3 people from George's camera. I think there were 7 experts and 15 or 16 students, so it was almost like having your own private instructor all night. Larry from George's is extremely friendly, listens well, loves to answer questions and is very helpful. He helped out as much as he could in class but he was very helpful with all of the students out at the workshop at Joshua tree, answering questions about settings, not only for Nikon, but Sony, Canon, etc. If you have always wanted to film the milky way and were not sure how, do yourself a favor and take the class at least but if you want to go try it out, then sign up for the workshop. What a wonderful experience.

I've never seen a store quite like this and I was very excited. The shelves looked like my Amazon purchase history, although I had to restrain myself a bit to avoid upsetting the wife with my shopping spree. I was originally looking for multimeter fuse, sadly they didn't have the size I needed. The staff was extremely friendly and even gave me recommendations on where else I could go to find the fuse. The prices of everything else were extremely fair and would be comparable to being the same, or less than prices you would find online. Willy's is now my go-to for anything electric that I'm doing!

Checked out their website, then gave them a call about cleaning up my Mac before my vacation. I put it off to the last minute and wasn't sure they could help. Luckily, they could help me, and the rush fee was $100. I love that fact they picked up the phone and it wasn't some dead doornail employee who could care less about my computer issue. Chris, the owner, actually answered the phone. He said to bring it down. I came in that same day and he told me they would: clean it up, install new OS, remove junk, and speed it up overall. He quoted me end of the week, but it was ready sooner, so happy about because it would be ready for vacation. Total came out to about $430 with the rush fee. It's been about 6 weeks now and my computer is running amazing, so fast! They also have refurbished Macs for sale, which I'll be back for when my current computer stops working. Super 5 Stars for DC Computers! They care about their business and customers. So glad I found them.

As someone who has a small business, seeing their attention to detail was inspiring, it actually makes me want to be a better expert in my own field! They treated me like a local because they are locals and residents who have been serving San Diego for 10 years. If you need a repair or a new computer, go see them. I'll definitely be back!
