One of the last great camera shops in the bay area, so few are left. I needed a pretty obscure replacement part on short notice to do some video coverage of a football game, and the staff at San Jose Camera & Video went above and beyond in helping me track down a similar plate that would fit. I provided the make/model of the monopod, the plate that I thought I'd need, and since it's a tough piece to track down, they found a handful of similar monopod plates that potentially could fit and tested them on the equipment they had in house. After some research and testing, they recommended a plate that they were "pretty sure" would fit my piece of kit and they put it aside. 30 minutes later, after a bit of a drive, I had the plate in hand for a really great price. And I brought the monopod into the store to test the plate and the staff was right - it fits! San Jose Camera & Video saved me a lot of trouble, a lot of money, and a good amount of time and I'll be forever grateful. On a side note, the staff person I worked with was super attentive and nice and asked me a lot of questions about the work I did and it was nice for them to take a bit of an interest in their customers.

Came in looking for some photography backdrops for a corporate video production. As advertised online, they had exactly what I needed. In addition to quality products, I want to sincerely thank the team working there for their help. I came in on a time crunch, during a rainstorm, in a Honda Civic -- expecting to haul three 12ft boxes. Not my brightest idea. However the team was so amazing and helped me fit everything into my car without hesitation. Service was great and the backdrops were perfect for my video shoot. Highly recommend!

They were not open today, Sunday, February 8th, 2026. Their website says they are but clearly it's false advertising.

Ask the Community - San Jose Camera & Video

Do you develop the film? And if you are, how much cost for 1 roll? Thank u

Hi Phu, thank you for your inquiry- however as we no longer develop film, we refer film development to our good friend over at Foto Express- located in Downtown San Jose. Thank you for thinking of us.

Do you buy old cameras?

Throughout the year, we usually do trade-ins! Buying old cameras- just give us a call or an email if it's something we'd be interested in, and bring them in the store for a quote. Other than that- keep an eye out for our Trade-In, Buying event… Read more

Do they develop old negatives? My mom recently passed away and I found a bunch of negatives from decades ago. Would like to get them developed somewhere.

Sorry we do not develop negatives.

It has been almost 5 years since I took Tom's DSLR jumpstart class, and the lessons I learned that…read moreday are still in use. The class really helped ignite my ability to properly set up my camera, but also how to adjust setting on the fly. Since his class, I have been published in multiple aviation books, blogs, newspapers, and magazines. Last Year I was an Editors Choice in the 2023 Aviation Week and Space Technology Photo edition Without Tom and his class I would no doubt be plodding away with my camera with the usual mediocre results instead of what I am shooting now. If you want to do more with your photography this one is an easy call. Give Tom and PhotoTrainer a try.

My experience with Tom was very good, I got a better understanding of the craft, and feel better in the workings of my SITH SLAYING SURGICAL SLICING LIGHT SABER of a Camera ....(clearing Throat) excuse me, a better understanding in the workings of my camera.

Echoing my friend Cindy L, yes, this team is FABULOUSSSSSSSS and FASTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I met Michael in 2009, and I knew he and his team would be my wedding photographer and cinematographer one day when I tie the knot. In 2010, I introduced my start-up company in Redwood City to Michael and his team to do an IoT video and they loved his work. The animation was pure genius and story line was so easy to comprehend. In 2014, I introduced my best friend, Cindy L, to Michael and his team, for her wedding, and she and her husband absolutely fell in love with Capture the Love photos and cinematography. Fast forward to 2016. When my NOW husband and I booked Nestldown for our wedding venue in 2016, I knew IMMEDIATELY who I would have as my photographer and cinematographer--the wonderful Capture the Love team!!! I did not even shop around. Right after we signed the contract with Nestldown, I immediately called Michael Soo and made sure we reserve him for Fall 2017 before another couple snatch him from us. Michael and his team come at a price, but you SERIOUSLY pay for what you get. I honestly don't know any team who work as fast as this team. We took our engagement photos and finished around 5pm and within 3 hours, we received sneak previews, and by 9pm, we received all our photos! We had our wedding on Saturday, which ended at 10pm, and by midnight, we received 2 sneak previews!!!! On Tuesday (yes less than 72 hours later), we received another 20 photos!!!! He informed us that all the photos will be ready by Friday afternoon (less than 7 days from our wedding!!) ! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, no one works this fast, except this fabulous team. I keep looking at the 20+ photos and I am still floating on cloud 9 and reliving every moment of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up early, which was SOOOO MUCH appreciative, so they could ensure they were able to capture every little minute detail. They always had a smile on their faces, even when they have to deal with crazy family members and vendors who get in the way of the shots. I looked in the corner of my eye and I was personally annoyed certain ppl/kids were in the shot, but the team was very professional and never yelled or had a frown on their faces. This definitely helps keep the bride calm. I never doubted this team and trusted them whenever they told us to go here and there, and do this and that pose. I told them, "tell us what to do and we will do it!" I can't wait to see all the photos and the cinematography so I can relive one of the best days of my life! When you ask former brides and grooms for wedding planning tips, they always say, "spend money on your photography and cinematography!!!" Best advice ever since you get to keep these photos and videos forever compared to florals which will last no more than a few days! Thank you so much Capture the Love!! Money well spent!!! I highly recommend if you're in the market for photography or/and cinematography!!!
