In Short – The selection and the frenzy of activity are daunting, but the prices can't be beat. The Used Annex upstairs sells marked-down camera bags and hardware, and it's also a treasure trove of classic and collectible Leicas, Rolleis and their matching parts at prices ranging from discount to "vintage." The store's quarterly mail-order catalog ensures up-to-date listings of new and used equipment; calling codes on the inside cover lead directly to the proper department.

Very impressed!

by travelbugg1980

I was referred here after Best Buy didnt carry what I was looking for...turns out B&H didnt either--BUT I got an amazing deal on a different digital camera and am very happy. But What I am so impressed about was the service and knowledge of the sales staff at B&H. Very informative and patient, no high pressure sale.. Kerri in new cameras was SO incredible, I highly recommend both him and B&H to anyone looking to buy a camera this year. The referb department was slightly less helpful, but got me a good price. Plus the sheer size of the store is impressive, I want to go back just so I can browse all the aisles! Just pay attention to their hours of operation though--B&H is closed on weekends! And Fridays they close at 1pm!

Get Digitalized

by SamSamP

B&H Photo has everything you need for photography. The staff here is very knowledgeable regarding anything that has to do with Visual and Audio Equipments. Which is so important. When it comes to buying these kinds of products you want to make sure that you are making an educated decision regarding your purchase.

I love pictures and always have, I figure it has alot to do with the fact that my mom took pictures of her six kids throughout every single day of our lives. This woman has pictures galore and I'm talking about the time when pictures were "analog". Wooow.. Way back when...

But this place keeps you up to date with the most current and advanced technology.

This is a superstore filled with Professional Audio Equipment, Computers, Home Entertainment Systems, even Video Surveillance. Its amazing all the great stuff they have here. From mid range to high end equipments. I bought my Canon 60D here and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Talk about keeping up with technology, B&H now has an app for iPhone and Android.

You have to go!

by DarWallace

B&H Photo is definitely the “go to” place for camera’s and accessories. They literally have everything, and the staff knows almost everything, and if they don’t – they find out, which I love BTW. But they also have lots of other cool stuff, ranging from the latest and best tech gadgets to headphones and electronic gear. I actually got lost, not literally, but I lost time wandering from section to section.

Anyway, I’ve been there on weekdays and Sunday, and frankly your best bet is to hit it on the weekdays, because it’s so much better in terms of crowds. One of the few downsides is that they're closed on Saturdays.

Also, while it may be tempting to think that they are overpriced before you go, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn they’re not.

Get Your Camera Here!

by Kourtney DeRosa

Back in December I was looking to upgrade my camera. Though I loved my little Sony, it wasn't taking the quality of pictures that I wanted. Now that I have a little munchkin in the house, I'm am constantly shooting away and I want the photos I take to look professional.

My husband decided to take me to B&H so that we could look at cameras together. We did a little research before we arrived so we new we wanted an SLR with a zoom lens but other than that we knew nothing. I was very into photography in my past life so I wanted something that had both automatic and manual settings. And so, this is what we told the man behind the counter. He listened carefully to our requests and then began to show us different cameras that met our criteria, one at a time. He took his time to explain the features and shared both the upside and downside to each camera. We went back and forth between the two Nikon cameras and finally decided on the D90 because you can take video with it. Overall our experience was wonderful.

Was B&H crowded while we shopped for our new camera? Yes, of course it was. I personally don't look at this as a negative. If everyone keeps flocking there than they must be doing something right. This is NY people-Expect Crowds!
