I adore Texcam. Even in Los Angeles it was rare that a camera/equipment rental shop was so quick,…read morefriendly, and smart. Everything I've rented from here has been complete and in good repair (not as common as you might think!). Call Texcam for 35mm, 16mm, or digital video cameras, tripods, lighting, accessories (gels, softboxes, cookies, etc.), film stock, grip gear and trucks, or anything else you need to shoot your film/video except actors and talent. Call in advance, though, because it takes about 20 minutes to set up your account the first time, and they do run out of popular things on the weekends. If you are not sure what you need, they will help you figure it out without ripping you off, even if you sound like a total spaz of an amateur. Honestly. I have sent many students there with great results. Their rates are low for the area, but they're sometimes open to negotiation, too. If you can bring proof of shoot insurance, you'll save a lot of money upfront. The location really is in a neighborhood, across from some apartments, so don't think that the address is wrong.

Great place. Very helpful, one of the guys rented me his personal 8mm projector. Thats service!!read more

I really fell in love with this place. Very nice owner..super super sweet and a camera legend;)…read more There's a good deal of little gems in this little shop if you look/ask. Pricing is pretty reasonable in my opinion..especially given that there aren't too many film camera repair shops in our area.

This is, without question, the worst experience I've ever had with a repair business…read more I brought my Canon PowerShot in because the lens wasn't closing completely. The camera still worked perfectly otherwise. Instead of giving me a quote while I was there, they had me wait a day, only to come back with an estimate of nearly $300 for a camera that originally cost around $500. I declined the repair and picked up my camera. When I got home and tried to use it, the camera no longer worked properly. The flash wouldn't function, it wouldn't focus, and it became completely unusable. When I went back to the shop, the owner was incredibly rude and took no responsibility. He told me they "only looked at the camera" and didn't bother checking whether it actually worked before returning it to me. He also refused to stand behind their work in any way, saying there was no warranty, and claimed it would now cost over $400 to fix. I brought them a camera with a lens issue that was still functional. I left with a camera that no longer works at all. My PowerShot had lasted only a year and a month, and I truly regret ever bringing it here. I'm now out a camera, and the complete lack of accountability made an already frustrating situation even worse. I would never recommend this business. So corrupt.

The office is located in an office building and I was a bit confused because in the building's directory, suite #225 is listed under another company name. But it's just because Doorstep Digital has their small office within another company's office. Really pleased with how my family photos turned out and will absolutely work with them again!

I spoke with the owner upon delivery of my first phase of loose photos, and he laid out different options based on my wants, needs and budget. I was kept in the loop and notified of phases being complete. I then sent a few very old photo albums, with sticky pages, and even those came out great in the scanning process. No shadow or lights like you might come across if you try to do this on your own. Amazing quality! I am very happy with the process and completion.

I was FLOORED! How is that any way of doing business?! Well, he certainly didn't get MY business.

I had a large number of DVD 's made by a crappy Phillips DVD player/Recorder from camcorder tapes…read more20+ years ago. The format of the DVD's the Phillips created are in an unreadable format that no pc dvd player or conversion s/w on the web I could find could get them to play. Therefore, paid International Video Tape Copy to find a way to do the conversion. It was tough they said. And a few were so bad I had to give them the original camcorder taped. In the end they converted them all to a readable format on memory drives. Job well done and they would checked in with me often giving updates on their progress to completion.

Saved My Parents' Wedding Memories!…read more I was devastated when another company told me my parents' wedding video VHS tape was beyond repair due to mold. They returned it saying there was nothing they could do. I had pretty much given up hope until I came across International Video Tape Copy. Rima, the owner, was amazing from the very beginning. She offered to take a look at the tape despite others labeling it a lost cause. Rima's customer service was exceptional--she kept me updated every step of the way. From the moment she received the tape to when it was being cleaned and eventually transferred to digital format, I felt like I was in good hands. Not only did she manage to save the tape, but her pricing was also incredibly reasonable for the care and effort she put into it. You can tell customer satisfaction is her top priority, and she really goes the extra mile. I can't express how grateful I am for Rima's service and assistance. She saved irreplaceable memories, and I would recommend International Video Tape Copy to anyone needing VHS repair or transfer services. Thank you, Rima!

This business does unethical behaviors. I started doing business with a neighboring business of…read moreEternity Photo and as we are negotiating with TC Florists, he barges into the conversation telling me and my wife to come talk to him about video service. Therefore we came over afterwards and negotiated and sign the contract with him for basic 1 person coverage of our wedding day, December 6, 2014. First off, the day of the wedding, he shows up 30 minutes late from his scheduled time. Once he showed up, he missed coverage of the groom's party getting prepared for our big day. He also brought along an additional video guy that was not in the contract. He said to me, "Don't worry, I will take care of it. You won't have to pay additional." Once the groom's party shows up at the bride's location, he began to be very bossy and awkward. As speakers from both parties begin to talk, he would continuously cut them off and tell them what he or she should say. Speakers from both party asked me who he was and why he was trying to control the whole ceremony as oppose to letting it flow the way the family wants it to. During the celebration, the groom's party gifted the bride's party with a traditional envelope to wish the newlywed wonderful happiness for the life to come. Within that envelope, was $1000 cash. That envelope went missing and there is an anonymous report to the family seeing Mr. Davison Truong, owner of Eternity Photo, taking the envelope and sticking it into his pocket. Secondly, once the reception started at 6pm @ Kim Son Restaurant on Jefferson, he continued to be bossy with our family. Our family supplied the liquor bottles for the party this evening and he told our family member to place it in a certain spot that he himself designated. These liquor bottles should be handled by the serving staff of Kim Son for this evening, not My. Davison Truong. Our family member later on noticed that he walked away with 3 bottles equivalent to approximately $200 worth. As the night continued, he would appear and disappear at certain times of the night. This was the pattern throughout the day, but on the flip side, we hired a different photographer team that was next to us to capture every moment throughout our wedding day. The purpose of mentioning this is because, another member of the family witnessed him walking through the reception searching for things to take. This family member witnessed him going through a blazer on a table and walked away with an Apple Iphone 6+ ($995 value). We asked her to file a police report on this matter. To sum up this report, a lot of things came up missing throughout our wedding day. It started out with the special envelope with $1000 cash. During the reception, these are the following missing items that have been reported to us: Apple Iphone 6+, $700 cash inside a wallet that was inside the dressing room, and 3 bottles of Remy Martin 1738. We have contacted him directly and mentioned to him that we have people seeing him take these items and he needs to return it. Initially he agreed and apologized. He mentioned that he will return everything he took. When the groom's father showed up at his business on 5200 West Loop South, he locked his door and did not show up. We found out later on that he has booked a flight to Vietnam and have already taken off therefore we were not able to get back in touch with him. The dvd's were left hanging on his door on the Sunday he told us to come pick them up. The person that opened the door to the facility was his neighbor from TC Florists. We mentioned to him what happened during our wedding, and he reported to us that we were not the only bridal party that experienced this. He told us that Davison have taken things from other weddings he has contracted before in 3 different occasions, but the bridal party during those occasions decided to drop the matter and not report it.
