Great for pros, good for non-pros This was a camera store that was tailor made for the professional photographer, but it isn't a bad place to go shopping (or at least educate yourself) if you're just a family photographer. You might get a better deal online or in a non-speciality store, but you won't get the same level of service you get at Samy's. The store itself is a bit weird in terms of setup. Rumor has it it was going to be a restaurant with an office upstairs, which might account for the odd location.
Great Customer Service Kim was very helpful and informative. I love how you guys always have what I need to take pictures and videos. Repeat customer !
I love Samy's Camera. I love Samy's Camera. The sales people are knowledgeable and helpful. Here's a hint. If you want to talk to a salesman and really get you questions answered, don't go on the weekend. Midday is the best time to go.
friendly staff great service! i got all my answers! thank you Samy's! .
knowledgable staff I really love going to this place for advice and to look at what new products are available. The staff is very friendly and knowledgably. You can really get a much better deal on almost anything online, though. Still, its worth a visit! PROS: great place to get advice CONS: pricey
if you go digital do Sammy's I did Sammy's on Sepulveda and got instant, knowledgeable service, and I love my Cannon EOS D40. I was prepared to pay more to shop at a real service establishment like Sammy's, but I was in Costco just the other day and they had the same camera with a lesser lens at the same price I paid. Top quality products, service and price? You can't beat it.
Go to the other Samy's locations - less attitude! The LA Samy's is the flagship store and the one most often used by big name professional photographers.. And the attitude of the employees shows. Unless you're the assistant to somebody who shoots covers for Vanity Fair, expect less than fantastic service at the rental counter (if you're lucky you'll only be ignored). The selection is great, but the Pasadena, Venice and Santa Barbara stores all have much more helpful, down-to-earth employees who are more used to working with ... read more
Student There are a lot of camera shops in LA and being a photography student I've been to many of them. This is by far the best. Not only do they have an amazing selection , but the staff is super helpful and always help you find what you're looking for.
Know Their Stuff Sammy's Camera is THE palec to shop for a camera. We went to Best Buy and waited for 30 minutes before anyone ever approached us, and even then they had very little in the way of kn9owledge and selection. Sammy's support staff are incredibly knowledgable, not pushy at all, and could answer every question we had. We came back a few times before making our purchase, and not once did they try to pressure a sale. Prices are reasonable, you may find a better deal, but small savings aren't worth the support you'll... read more
