What customers say
I bought all the equipment for my podcast room from Samy's Camera, and the experience was amazing. They had everything I needed in stock, and their customer service was top notch. The staff was super helpful they gathered everything for me, brought it out, and loaded it into my car.
Samy's has got to be the best camera store in LA, and I imagine Hollywood probably has among the biggest camera scene in the US, at least. I walked in and was already, instantly, thinking "this place is huge". Then, I saw the sign. There are four floors.
I’ve had great experiences at Samy’s Camera and can’t recommend them enough. They have an incredibly extensive selection of camera supplies, whether you’re shooting digital or film, which makes it a one-stop shop for everything you need. What really stands out, though, is the staff.
I had a fantastic experience at Samy’s Camera thanks to Mary and Richie. They took the time to carefully explain all the accessories and equipment I needed for my Insta360 X5, both for my car and motorcycle setup.
