San Jose Camera & Video: Awesome Camera Store

San Jose Camera & Video is a local photography store in San Jose, near Campbell (fairly close to 280 and/or 17).

Now, I haven’t actually properly cleaned my camera — sensor or otherwise — or any of my lenses. Duh! So, I took the works into the store and asked for some basic tips and the proper tools.

The kind fellow behind the counter took everything apart, cleaned everything, took a bunch of test photos to find and remove bits on the sensor, put everything back together all while walking me through it. He could easily have gotten away with simply selling me a couple of bits for cleaning.

What an extremely pleasant experience. My third extremely pleasant experience. I bought a lens from them. They also helped me out when the filter shattered and I had no idea how to remove it without scratching the front element of the lens.

Anyway — extremely helpful place. Consistently go above and beyond in the customer service department and frequently talk the customer out of wasting money, offering less expensive solutions or showing how to solve the problem at hand with existing equipment.
