Convenient; good inventory; some salespeople more helpful than others You cant beat their hours -- open 7 days. Certainly convenient if you need to pick up any camera accessories at the last minute, instead of ordering online and waiting for the UPS guy to show up. Some salespeoples are less than helpful. But others have been very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
The good and the bad Great Selections for pros and kids alike. The price is not too bad if you buy on sale.However, I have the misfortune to get Kevin, a staff that has a attitude, as if he is doing me a favor by selling me a camera, and told me to my face that he has no time to devote as much as 20 minutes to me, since don't I see how many other customers are waiting for his sevices????? He repeated the "20 minutes' four times to me, He said: "what if I spent a whole 20 minutes with you and you decide not to buy, I would be... read more
Done with this place My last visit to Samys was quite disappointing. My friend and I just got back from Las Vegas and instead of going straight home decided to go to Samys to get some stuff we have been itching to get. We go there on 12/24/07, with 4min to spare. We knew what we wanted, we weren't there to window whop. If we were, we wouldn't have gone . My friend asks the salesman for a -1 diopter and was told that they don't make those. He replied, "Ritz said that they could order one for me. I was wondering if you happene... read more
Repeatedly Disappointed I live and work in Pasadena, but I have dealt with many pro film shops from Pasadena to Santa Monica and everything in between. Many of the people working at Samy's of Pasadena are severely in need of attitude adjustments. I've finally decided that avoiding these attitudes along with inflated pricing is worth a longer drive.
I liked it It was bustling on a Saturday morning -- pros mixing with us amateurs. All the clerks were busy.
Really bad customer service Samy's camera on Walnut seems to have fairly good prices, but the customer service is terrible. Both times I have called the people on the phone acted like I was such a huge inconvenience for even calling. I wanted to ask about prices on prints, so I told them this. I was transferred to the camera dept. I sat on hold for at least 5 minutes. Then the guy in the camera dept transferred me back to the original woman. She had a very snotty and self-righteous tone with me. I never even got to ask my qu... read more
Samys Camera An ad in the LA Times prompted me to go to Samy's. They have a good selection and friendly staff, but I would say their regular prices are just ok. They have great sales, though, so if you find something in one of their ads, it's probably cheaper than the competition.
Good camera shop The pleasant, knowledgeable staff will help you select a camera the best suits your needs, and not necessarily the most expensive one. They also develop both traditional and digital photos. They carry all types and sizes of film, darkroom equipment and supplies. They also have video equipment.
