What customers say
My place to go for both, video & film production and photography. Since my early days in OC when I was still running a studio in Orange, Samy's has supported me with cameras, lights, printers, rentals and more. Years later, still the same excellent service and best prices. Don't shop online. Shop with them.
Had a great experience at Sammy’s Camera. Frank helped me pick up an FX6 and was seriously amazing throughout the whole process. He’s always super helpful, knowledgeable, and makes everything easy. Everyone there is friendly and genuinely wants to help you get what you need.
