B&H Photo and Video: THE place in NYC to buy Photo equipment

  • This is one of the oddest stores that I have ever been to, but since this is the place where the pros of NY go to get their video and photography equipment it must be good...
    I learned of B & H while in college studying Film Production. This was our haven as we constantly were getting equipment for shoots. Everything is first quality and the employees are extremely knowledgeable in their field. They have everything imaginable and if they don't have it, then its not worth it. Their prices are very comparable but they are getting a run for their money with the online stores popping up. One thing about this place is that they close early on Friday and are closed all day Saturday.

    You can get anything from an underwater digital camera, to specialized film, to Studio quality video camera. They have everything related to photography and videos. They also have a great used section that will buy back equipment at a decent price.

    The skys the limit with this place, it all depends on what you need. I think that their film is fairly inexpensive (about $3 a roll)

    photo lab in NY

    Pro Image is a full service film and digital lab. Great quality, professional service and best prices.
    Many New Yorkers recommended. Its high-tech services come with "lowest price guaranteed" deals: Free digital files(CD) with every film processed, and digital photos only at 29 cent.
    Workers are very helpful and friendly (unusual in Manhattan!) The lab said it won national awards and had the largest number of professional photographers among customers. Probably the right place in New York to develop photos.

    -Film Developing, digital camera printing and other photo and printing services shown in its 10 page service list.
    -Also Kodak films and various digital memory cards to buy.

    Film developing cost was about half the prices in Europe.
    Digital print with 10x15 cm size is 29 cent.

  • B&H could be remamed to camera-word. They sell everything from all camera and films to photo printers and paper. Even photography books.

    They also have accessories like camera cases, earphones and memory cards. It's all here in this wonderful store. They have even extended their procuts lines to include gadgets such as ipods and creative Zens.

    Not only do they sell everything to do with camera, they are very cheap in comparison to other vendors.

    However, it can be overwhelming so make up your mind what you want before you get to the store. Or at last have your questions ready for the staff.

    There are plenty of staff who will answer your questions; they know everything there is to know about cameras. One guy took a glace at my camera and told me what type and speed SD card I would need! They?re very friendly and will sometimes throw in extras like the digital photography book they gave me.

    Just remember they are a Jewish owned shop so they close on Friday afternoons till Sunday mooning and all Jewish holidays.

    What you expect to pay depends rally on what you're buying. A few dollars for camera accessories to hundreds for top-of-the-line cameras

    B&H Photo and Video: Wacky Photo Store

  • A huge warehouse of photo and video supplies, B&H has been in Manhattan forever. Their catalog is like the Sears catalog of professional and consumer audio/video/photo supplies. The store itself is wacky. The store is organized with conveyor belts. Ask a clerk for a certain item and follow its twisted path overhead to the checkout counters. The best part is the video display. A small model train set is assembled on a table, and all the top video cameras are pointed at it. Want to see want the new Panasonic 24p camera looks like? Go play with it; see how the train set looks through its lens.

    Both B&H and J&R have a great selection of photo equipment, usually cheaper in B&H. They sell all kinds of other electronics too, usually at better prices in J&R which is located on 23 Park Row, Manhattan.
    They are both run by Jewish, mostly orthodox in B&H.

  • Shopping here is quite an experience. The place was completely packed when I got there and this probably has a lot to do with the fact that the electronic goods here are a lot cheaper than at most other places in Manhattan.

    The staff are friendly and they have a really cool system of delivering items from the stock room to the check out point. The items are placed in a basket which is placed on a conveyor belt which moves from the stock room to the check out point. Its very efficient!!!

    This shop should visit just to see how it works, and extraordinary delivery system runs above your head. Also has a big offer in any kind of photo, video, audio,...

    Interesting notes: all the cash employees are jewish and make sure its not saturday because you will find it close.

    Just next to the shop there is a Dinner where you should enter to eat something.

    Any photo,audio,video stuff
