The customer service is A + . Even though the store was busy, Claudia was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She took the time to explain the benefits of shopping at AVC and there are many benefits including live tutorials, classes, studio rental, equipment rental. They also have a very nice selection of everything photo and video equipment for beginners and seasoned professionals. The store is clean and well organized and although at the time there was about 10 people shopping, there was plenty of space to not be bumping into each other. Ill be visiting the store often, at least once a month to take part in the monthly gathering . I highly recommend visiting the store and see for yourself.
Thanks to Mariam for helping me with picking a lens (Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3) and actually allowing me to use it before purchasing. She even offered to be my test subject. Everyone there are friendly and helpful as well. The lens is great I’m very happy with my purchase.Ps: Follow me on Instagram: @shotzbysu
Great service, I had help from Andrés to buy my first camera ever and it was a good experience
I was under impression that this place is professional store but reality is that they are small business with their own return and exchange policies. Simply dont see why to choose this store over big and professional companies where you have customer service, protection better price and discounts.Unfortunately, wasted my time and lost money by purchasing from them.
AVC is the best in the business! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they always have what Im looking for in stock. They go above and beyond and make the experience a pleasant and educational one. Always building and showing me how to use the new gear I buy from them. If youre looking for a local camera dealer in South Florida AVC is the place to go. 10/10 recommend
Great selection of cameras and accessories. Prices are very competitive and the people in the store are very helpful when you need to buy some specific item. I am a beginner starting to build my own home-studio and they did a great job explaining to me the best way to setup the lights in it. I will be back :)
Great store. Andres was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable on everything we were looking for. Large inventory and variety of brands. We came for all RED. They price match and if there’s anything you need that they don’t have, it will be ordered. If your in the business or just starting, this is the place to come and Andres is your man!
Awesome service Andres always seems to help me find what I’m looking for and understand the products better.
While selling my used equipment the guy was trying to put a lense for crop camera on my full frame camera and broke something inside. Was trying to blame me on selling broken equipment. At the end they put super low price for my 4 pieces equipment. Not trustworthy staff. I got home, the sensor is full of dust, trying to clean it. They ruined my day. So I have checked my focusing screen it’s all scratched I have to replace it now for my own money! They left a scratch on the mirror as well. They lied they in ebay my camera is super cheap, they lowered price 5-6 times because they broke it. The big NO to this place.
Brought my Sony a7 iii in for a sensor cleaning because Id screwed it up doing it myself. Service was prompt, well done, and the people were really nice.Slightly hard to find, because the complex its in is pretty big, but I got there. Its around the corner in the center.
Andrés made a wonderful work with me. He is so kind, intelligent, and wonderful seller! I got a very nice experience at the store!
First class service, excellent prices, incredibly helpful staff and a huge range of camera equipment. Highly recommended.
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The store has almost everything you need and more.
Manuel was an awesome salesman. He was very knowledgeable and had great customer service. I wish I could give a hundred stars.
We dont have a lot of options for high-end video production equipment in Miami. Thankfully, we have AVC. Their selection of cameras, lenses, lighting, rigging, gimbals, and other cool toys is unmatched, ranging from pro-sumer/enthusiast level all the way up to cinema grade. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and their pricing is comparable to what you would find on the leading e-commerce sites (minus shipping and handling). As someone who prefers to buy locally, I appreciate having an alternative to the big box stores, and AVC absolutely crushes them when it comes to service, selection, and value.
Excellent . A wonderful team. first-rate attention. the best prices and products in the entire market
This is the best place to buy photo & video equipment in Miami! They have a great variety of products for every level of expertise at great prices. The staff is always super friendly, helpful, & knowledgable when it comes to choosing the best camera & equipment for your needs! Andres helped me both times when I purchased my Canon RP & as well as a new lens a few days ago, excellent customer service.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE. Andres was instrumental and helping me with my purchase. My experience was different from many of their customers, my situation had me in a position to where I had to have my camera shipped to me. Andres kept me updated on the shipment of the camera and his customer service was beyond great and he was extremely professional throughout the process. There is nothing at all bad about CVSs staff from my experience as they handled this situation with ease and accommodated. Highly recommend their services and will conduct future business with them!
What wonderful service we received today! They had everything we were looking for! Thank you!
Amazing store that we highly recommend! Our go to spot for ivideo creations. Manny is the man have updated to all R5s with RF lenses with them. They came through way before all the NY big stores. Highly recommended and a pleasure to be doing business with them!
Mimiam was amazing with helping me out and very reapectful
Manuel was very knowledgeable and able to help with everything I needed for my photography business.
Today was my first time in AVC. The store is amazing, they have everything. The staff was great. Andres helped me out. Great guy!!!! If you want anything you could ask him he will help you out!!!! Great store and great people !!!!!!!
Excellent store, with a incredible attention. I think Manuel was the name of the guy who attended us.
I went to AVC Store today and I bought my camera there along with some lenses. GREAT STORE. GREAT STAFF. Andres helped me today with everything, he is a nice guy. He is a very reliable person. When you go to the store ask for him
They were awesome. Even shipped my products to me at no cost, customer service was phenomenal. Will be back may even look to sign up for a class since the staff is just enjoyable.
Super friendly staff, with ample knowledge of photography, highly recommended
I have been a customer and fan of AVC for more than two years. There is no better place to do your photography business. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and professional. They just treat you right. I highly recommend AVC to everyone I know in this business
Andres was amazing. He helped us with everything! Excellent customer service. I really appreciate his help.Love it!!!
Best Customer Service! Everything you need they got!
Excellent service, they have experts providing very good assesment about all equipment.All best brands available and over all, it is located veru near to the Miami airport. You can get there by uber for 14 dollars.
Staff knows very little about cameras. The point seems to be to upsell to the most expensive versions, and not get you what you need.
Eddie was amazing..love my new camera 📸 #canonsquad
They very kind and helping I recommend the store
They treat me like I was a king and excellent services
The Disneyworld of creators. If you need any equipment for your production, this is the place to go! My friends at AVC have the best service in the game, extremely friendly & helpful staff who go the extra mile to fulfill their clients’ need. Thank you AVC & Claudia for taking care of me and my team always!👏🏼👏🏼
A really great place to get all your camera gear. They also host alot of great events here!
This store came in clutch for me twice now. Andreas and Manuel have been a pleasure to work with. They really will come through for you for all your gear needs!! Highly recommend this location.
Im so happy I dame to this store, I drove for 2 hours to get here and found what I was looking for.. Totally worth it... they pretty much have everything from cameras, to ring lights, microphones, backdrops etc .. Anyways my 5 stars review is because of their hospitality they provide... As soon as you walk in youre received with a warm welcome and everyone is so attentive... I bought a really good ring light that was recommended by one of the employees I think his name is Manuel, he provided excellent hospitality. I came back the next day because I couldnt figure out how to use the ring light properly and he taught me step by step and helped me connect the wireless remote.. Thank you so much..
I called these folks four days ago to inquire about a new tripod recently released on the market. They said they had it in stock. Yesterday, I call them again from work and ask if they still had the tripod. They said they did. I explain that I would be at the store to buy the tripod as soon as I left work. The guy on the phone gave me directions to the store and said hed see me soon. I drove from my home in Port Saint Lucie, to their location in Miami. When I arrived, the young lady at the counter tells me theyd just sold the last tripod that I wanted, and offered me instead different and more expensive variants from the same company. I was upset beyond words. I left the store and called the store, getting the same young man I had spoken to early. when I called to see if the item was available. At first, he said they still had the item, then he checked and said they had just sold the last one that I wanted. I explained that this was bad customer service. He said What do you mean? I began telling him the effort it took for me to drive from home to pick up the item, only to arrive and be told It was just sold. was bad business. The line suddenly went dead. As I said to him, BAD BUSINESS! It felt like a bait and switch con job. Tell you the item is in stock, to get you in the store, then tell you theyve just sold the last one you wanted, and try to sell you a higher price alternative. Ive seen similar complaints about them pertaining to this on a few other forums review areas. Theyre customer service is atrocious! I would not recommend anyone dealing with this company based on my experience with them.In response to your response post below my original comment sir:Id loved to have written a glowing report for your company,( Im from Miami and love supporting hometown businesses) but as I have said the customer service was abysmal, and I felt the service techs made no effort to rectify the situation, in fact quite a few were witnessed to the scenario, and it appeared resolving the problem, was not anyones priority. If an attempt to do so, would have been made, I would have likely written a glowing review (Store looks great and appears to have everything Id need on hand!). As I have said, I was extremely disappointed with your customer service. The tripod was the Benro KH26P. I purchased online yesterday from B&H photo instead. Curious: Sadly customers will invest there time writing a review on all platforms when it’s a negative one or to get away with something that they want. What does that mean exactly????
Be aware!!!!. One of the workers ¨Andres¨ (Venezuelan guy). Stole the battery of the brand new camera that I bought. When I call, they said that I have to come back with the camera. When I went he said that I have to buy a new Battery because the store will not take care of missing components... I asked for the manager but, he said it was not in the store. I report it to SONY. and I will have to report it as a fraud...
I love come to AVC, is like a second home, Manuel always takes cares of any questions regarding products that I have, and j ok have a lot lol, and he with patience answer all, the products are top quality, and everything that cross your mind you’ll find it! The best place for you photography or filming experience, from beginners to pros!
I called about a camera that they had listed on Ebay for $850 and asked if I could get a better price in store and they told me to come in and they’ll see what they can do. Next day I go in the store and tell them that I’m the one who called and they get the camera and then they tell me my total is $1100 for the camera. I inform them that its $850 on Ebay and then the person helping me contacts the manager and later says best they can do is $900. I found that extremely hysterical as they sent out an offer on Ebay the day prior for $807.50 and I tell them about the offer that was sent. It only gets worse as I re-check the Ebay price only to see that they increased the buy now price to $1,099.The agent there tells me he can’t do that price so I instead told him I’ll buy it on Ebay and he says “no thats not possible”. So I buy it anyways as they have to honor that Ebay price and I select store pickup so I can pickup the camera right then and there. The agent then tells me to cancel the order and that he’ll give me that price in store. I know exactly why they did that. If bought on Ebay then they would have to pay about 7-12% fee for selling on Ebay + the shipping. I know they ended up winning because I ended up taking the camera in store instead of on Ebay so they saved themselves the fee. Overall, they were extremely unprofessional and tried tricking me into overpaying for a camera in which they basically had listed for $750 after fees and shipping. Really pains me to see businesses trying to get me to overpay for a product they have listed cheaper somewhere else. Maybe if I wasn’t so well versed on Ebay and pricing they would’ve got me, but that wasn’t the case. Everyone recommended me this store before hand but boy was I disappointed after shopping here. Will definitely not be coming back, hopefully this camera lasts me.TLDR: They had an item on Ebay for x price and they were charging more than what it was listed for. Even after contesting the price they still tried getting me to pay more than that. Extremely unprofessional.
Best camera store in south Florida. They never treat u like a customer but always treat u like family.The staff is very knowledgeable and always eager to help.
My experience was 5 stars no doubt. Great deals and the attention was great as well. They were really helpful and I would come back for sure.
Went into AVC for the first time. The staff was hugely helpful and helped me get into Sony gear after spending over half my life shooting Nikon.Will travel all the way there from Sunny Isles Beach for the great service and deals.
I ordered a lens from AVC through a third party website. It shipped right away and when I got it I realized I ordered the one for the wrong camera mount. I emailed the store that night and had a response the next morning offering to swap me for the correct one no questions asked. The only shipping I paid was to send the lens to Miami. I tracked its return to Miami and within an hour of UPS saying they dropped it off I had an email letting me know they got it and I would have a tracking number shortly, I had one within the hour. Cant say enough good things about their customer service.
Yes! Thank you for existing! We were in need of a decent sized camera bag to house our gear we predominantly use and kept coming up empty locally until.... these guys. Great service, great staff and a great little museum section with crazy awesome relics! Thank you for letting us fit our gear into the new bags to decide which one was best. Great shop!
Good prices and friendly service
Best buy didnt have the extension cable I needed and was able to find it at AVC. Their, friendly and helpfull staff was able to locate what I needed quickly.
I originally ordered online and I when I realized it was close to home, I realized I was able to pick up my equipment myself. The staff was super friendly and completely understanding. They extended themselves to me even though they did not have to. I purchased my Sony A7III with other dope accessories and I walked in and out with a smile on my face. The store is also full of other surprises and has insane deals. I wish I knew about this place earlier. Ill definitely make this place my regular go-to for camera equipment and I am definitely telling all my friends. Thanks so much for the great service. See you soon.
Amazing store! I was deciding between camera systems and lenses when I first visited. Mike was extremely helpful, answering all my questions and messages. Manuel was just as helpful on my return visit, making the buying process a great experience. The owners and staff always treat me like family. I ask lot of questions, but they were patient and thorough through the whole process. They helped me get the best deals possible, and in the end I felt confident and extremely happy with my purchases!
The best place for a starting agency for ourselves - we rent equipment and rent the studio for our clients photoshoot! Everyone is super welcoming and super nice about teaching, helping and selling with equipment
This store is amazing. The customer service is spectacular. They can guide you with what you need and do all the questions you want because they will answer them. Thank you so much for everything. 100% recommended!
Very nice shop and professional staff
This place is the coolest ! making aspiring influencers perfect their video, lightning and camera skills
I drove 2 hours away to have a simple solution handle with great customer service. The whole staff is welcoming and not a pretentious group of Camera aficionados ( Huge Plus ). Great selection for all your equipment needs. Thank you guys.
A truly fantastic selection of cameras & lenses which the knowledgeable and supportive staff will guide you through. Loved having all the equipment available to see in person and touch hands on. Worked mostly with Henry and he helped me find exactly what I was looking for! Never felt pressured to buy something - just felt informed enough that in the end, the decision to buy my camera/lens here came naturally. I will definitely be back for all my future equipment purchases! :)
Best place for camera gear in miami!
After landing in Miami, I noticed my rear lens cap was stuck, and would not come out no matter what. I stopped by AVC and had a great experience. Everyone stopped everything they were doing and offered to help me. They were finally able to unlock the cap - so thankful to Manuel and all his staff!
What an awesome store and buying experience I had with AVC!! Mikey and Manuel are the best. Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and super friendly. Highly recommend them for any of your camera needs. Thanks guys for all the help!
This is one of the best shops for buying photographic equipment. Here you can buy everything you need to shoot. always available cameras, lenses, flashes, tripods and other equipment. Competent and responsive guys will help you choose everything right. The prices are excellent. I recommend😉
The AVC store it is the best store/school in southern Florida without a doubt, you will find A reliable and high train team of people that will help you how ever they can! But the store offers more than that, they offer the opportunity to everyone to become part of the great community of professionals/amateur photographers. Beside that is the school part where they offer a lot of courses, workshop and trainings with great professionals!So far this have been my experience with the AVC STORE!
This place is awesome! Henry and his coworkers helped me to decide on 2 lenses ( Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8 Vr). It was a very good experience from start to finish. They were all very helpful. They all showed me pictures and examples to help me decide. I didn’t feel any pressure at all. Thanks Henry! I will be contacting you in the future 📷!
Big professional team to your service. The place is a paradise to photo and videographers in South Florida. Thank you guys. 📸❤️📸
Fantastic product diversity, customer service and LOCAL for your camera and other electronic equipment needs. The staff is knowledgeable and can help you compare products and guide you in making the best decision for your needs. What I absolutely love is that they are also passionate about photography and offer courses, workshops, and different events to engage, connect, and educate the local community.
I love buying local for my business, and AVC Store is the best! The employees are very helpful and knowledgeable. Their equipment is the best and I haven’t been disappointed yet. I highly recommend this local camera/photography/videography store.
I always have a great experience at this store and have been helped by Manuel many times. Very knowledgeable and patient and will recommend always the products that fit your situation. Will continue to use this as my go to store, and do recommend it.
So Ive been here on a few different occasions the past couple of months. Im am avid shopper of Adorama & Amazon. While those offer more options AVC offers the best options that a professional would consider. The staff especially Manual who always greets me like weve been friends for a long time and Galo who is patient and really involved with all the problems Ive brought up to him are the kind of employees any company who cares about loyalty and returning business would only be able to write down on paper. AVC so far has been a great option and a local business I will continue to support in any way possible. They are a solid and healthy Piller in the local Photography community.
Awesome.place ...great selection...competitive prices ask for.Andres
Everyone from the owner to the staff is always willing to help and make you feel at home. Makes dealing with small businesses a delight. Other than the customer service, they hold a great inventory with a very nice selection.
We had a great buying experience in this store. I was keen to get a hands-on feel for the equipment I was investing in, and also wanted to support a local business instead of buying online. Sara and her colleague assisted with every query. They were friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.
Amazing service and products. The whole crew and the manager were all very helpful and informative. Bought two a7iii cameras today was looking everywhere until I found these guys. Only going here for when I need anything photo and video.
Best customer service I’ve ever received at a photo store. Knowledgeable staff with great inventory. If your a photographer looking for a local shop to support. Check theses guys out!
Came to AVC looking for a prime lens. The guys here were a real big help in guiding me to the right lens. Picked up the 50mm 1.8 STM lens. Even though there was a customer making a $10k purchase I was given just as much attention. A+++ customer service. Definitely a returning customer!
Top professional service. Ask for Manuel, as he give you premium service. They managed to get the Nikon Hardware I was looking for within 24h. They follow up on orders on mail and phone to keep you updated, to keep your confidence in top.
Looked for a camera with very limited stock in the USA, they had it, shipped in about 4 days and it actually got to my hotel where i asked it to be shipped about a week before i did.. really really great personal service also. very recommended!
I discovered this store around a year ago, and it,s my favorite place to buy camera gear in miami so far, customer service is the best of the best.
Quick responses to all my emails about the lenses they had in stock and same day shipping when i placed my order. Only place that had the new Sony G Master Lenses in stock. Will continue to buy from them!
Just discovered the store today and visited twice already (in the same day). Excellence in service, unbeatable product quality. Definitely the nerd-spot to keep on the list.
These people know their stuff (and have it too)and will go the distance to answer every question you have. Superb Service!!
A great variety of New with some Used camera and photography gear. Plus the management and team are very knowledgeable and up to date on the latest gears.
Stay far away from this place! Enough is enough. I am filing a complaint and letting all I can know this place is shady and crooked and the worst in how they also appreciate and deal with regular customers. I have given this store a lot of business and have been treated like I dont exist. The owner is very nice up until they get your money then after that sale its FU! I bought two Nikon Z6 kits..just one of many purchases and transactions..they owed me 2 screen protectors..I kept asking and kept getting stories and the run around till finally I had to go purchase from a REAL camera store! Now I bought the new Lumix S1 one of the first to buy from them day after release and there is a big update out and free for those that bought..you need to get the update unlock from the dealer you purchased it from. Well guess what? Everyone I know got theirs and once again Arnaldo the owner and Dennis give me BS stories and I still havent gotten it. I am contacting Panasonic and filing a complaint with the BBB. I gave this store lots of business and would of given much more. Unbelievable! This store is disgusting!
AVC gave me an awesome deal on my dream lens and they have amazing customer service. Will definitely shop through them again in the future. Thank you!
The staff is very knowledgeable and kind. They have every kind of pro and amateur equipment. It was a nice experience
Great store, with very kind staff. Large selection of items, and they are authorized dealers for all major brands. My new go to local camera store
Ive been an enthusiast photographer for a long time, Ive bought gear in several stores, and by far the guys from AVC have provided me the best customer attention and care ever. They yield a true proper way to treat customers. Dont buy online if you can buy to a physical store specially like AVC, its light years better.
Website has a listing category for Film camera and after driving 100 miles all the offer was instax which is not the same.
Great selections, great prices & very knowledgeable/helpful staff. So glad we found them. Better than Best Buy!
Theyve got plenty of camera gear but very lacking on Audio. There are not even any Rode Mics in stock. Only some cheap generic brand Ive never heard of. Staff is nice though.
Great service and price! I dealt with them online and they do an excellent job and compete with the bigger stores in price and service. I will be returning soon.
I was looking for the Sony A7RIII all over the US and couldn’t find it anywhere. I called AVC after hearing about them on Facebook and found that they had the camera in stock. They sent me a link to pay for the camera online and they shipped it immediately. I received the camera within 2 days. The service was great.
A great camera and audio visual store. They even do camera trade ups and have a helpful and knowledgeable staff dedicated to customer service.
Thank you to the person who helped me out I wasn’t able to use my camera for two years and they found out what equipment I needed with a quick fix without sending it out and gave me a more affordable version! Thanks again!
Great service and knowledgeable staff!! Very happy with my purchase. Thank you so much!!
Amazing store, plus the helping knowledge the staff there is great, i bought a drone, a pro camera, a few lenses, my personal store for all the filming/shoting gear, 100% recommended to everyone, from starters to pro
