    Doing this place on a whim when I was on my way to a work trip and figured why not check it out…read more The store is a tad off from downtown but this place is a OG users fever dream. Not only is it big but it had a rather famous wall of admittedly broken cameras that I regardless wanted to grab, printing gear, old tripods, manuals and parts bins, a whole half of the store dedicated to film cameras and their lenses as well as a nice dslr and mirrorless set up with their associated gear and point and shoots. I literally prolly looked like a crackhead as I bounced off the walls tripping out seeing stuff I had only ever seen in museums, or YouTube. While I didn't find the camera I came there for I found one of my grails a Oskar Barnac Leica iii. The camera has seen better days yah but for the insane price drop of a slight hazed summicron lens and the tested in front of me body I couldn't say no (432). Bernie, the guy who helped me went above and beyond showing me their whole collection of rangefinders and classic medium formats I was fawning over and made sure I was straight when it comes to practice and handling of something almost a 100 years old. There's something special about a bulletproof camera that's probably seen some form of action that screams to me and that they love shooting and respect the art. While I'd probably be long in between my next travel to the city I'll definitely support them online from 5k miles away. Loved this place and everything it stands for. Support local and people who perpetuate the lost art!

    As a first-time customer and someone who strongly believes in supporting small businesses, I was…read moreexcited to visit Houston Camera Exchange. Coming from a small-business background myself, I always prefer to shop local when possible. I brought in my Canon EOS Rebel T7 camera, which had only been used once and was in excellent condition, along with the two additional lenses that came with it. While I was disappointed with the offer I received, I fully understand that businesses need to make a profit, and I was prepared to simply decline the offer and move on. However, what ultimately left a negative impression on me was my interaction with the employee at the front desk. Before leaving, I politely asked whether the store had any Canon G7X cameras in stock. The response I received was delivered in a noticeably condescending tone. The employee stated, "The thing about that camera is everyone and their mother wants it, and no one knows anything about waiting or patience, so there's never any anywhere. But if you want to give me $180, you can wait two weeks or two months for it." Had this comment been made in a lighthearted or casual manner, I likely would not have thought much of it. Unfortunately, that was not how it came across. As someone who approached the conversation respectfully and with genuine interest in doing business with the store, I found the response unnecessarily rude and dismissive. What makes this especially disappointing is that I came into the store prepared not only to sell my camera equipment, but also to spend even more money there as a customer. Had a Canon G7X been available, I would have been more than happy to purchase it on the spot. In other words, I was prepared to be both a seller and a buyer, and I was genuinely interested in supporting the business. Instead, I left feeling unwelcome. Customer service matters, especially for small businesses that rely on reputation and repeat customers. Because of this interaction, Houston Camera Exchange has lost my future business. I hope management takes customer interactions seriously, because a single negative experience can undo what might otherwise be a great 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!
