Whether you…read moreneed old school cameras or film, photography classes or equipment, large-size imaging/scanning services, or general audio/visual training or help, this is the place to come. Very friendly service, free-standing store with parking in the back. Not the most economical, but they have a broad selection and everything you'll need.

I had a frustrating experience at the Pasadena location of Samy's Camera that I think other…read morecustomers should be aware of. I brought in my OM-3 because the shutter was stuck closed and the camera was shutting down. I purchased a protection plan with the camera, but the staff at this location told me they didn't know what the warranty was and said they would not honor it. Since that didn't seem right, I drove to the Samy's Camera location in Los Angeles. The experience there was completely different. They immediately recognized the protection plan, honored it with no problem, and even handled shipping the camera out for warranty repair themselves. It was quick, professional, and exactly what I expected when buying expensive gear from a specialty camera shop. While I was in Pasadena, I also asked about a medium format camera they had for sale. The staff told me they could not guarantee that the camera worked. Out of curiosity I went to another camera business nearby and learned that they were actually the shop that repaired that exact camera and said it was fully functional. So unfortunately the Pasadena store left me with very little confidence. For high-end camera equipment, knowledge and service really matter. The Los Angeles Samy's location, on the other hand, was excellent and handled everything the way it should have been done in the first place.

The quality of the work was great band still had the originals to keep just in case. Would definitely refer by friends and family to trust ray with sick important memories.

Scans are emailed to you within a few days and you can pick up the prints in less than a week. Great service and quality work.

Overall, excellent experience, fair prices, and I'll definitely be back in the near future.

Being that it wasn't my gear I decided to call Samys but since Canon really took me to the cleaners over a flash repair, I asked if there are any local repair people. Was referred to Ohannes and dude was nothing but pleasant, friendly and honest. He helped me out for about 5 mins and sent me on my way, free of charge. I insisted on paying him anything since I was freaking out thinking it was going to be an expensive repair. Had to leave him a bottle of wine. Stores like this with this type of business mentality do not exist in SoCal anymore. Will be coming back and recommending everyone!
