Bel Air Camera was established in 1957 by William and Maria Herskovic when they came to America from Belgium and opened a store in Westwood Village. William had many years of experience in the retail business operating one of the largest camera stores and portrait studios in Belgium. He believed in the principle of establishing an ongoing relationship with his customers by giving them excellent service at discount prices. While new customers enter the store daily, continued fine service to established customers keeps them coming back.

Many camera stores have photofinishing mini-labs or kiosks. Photofinishing labs use automated printing systems and paper made by manufacturers like Kodak and Fuji. Camera stores are often located in malls or heavily trafficked business districts. As with other retailers, operations center on merchandising, marketing, inventory control, and customer service.

The usual way these Brooklyn-based online camera stores scam you is the simple Bait-and-Switch tactic. They lure you to make a purchase by showing cameras that are well below the prices you see elsewhere (as much as half as much). That's the bait. Then, once you place an order, you'll get a call or an e-mail saying that your order is backordered or you find out it's for the camera body only (no battery, manual, box, or anything else) and you'll get pressured to purchase a bunch of different stuff (or a different model of camera).

If you think the stores shown here are sketchy, just imagine what it was like buying a camera in person at these places before the Internet. Any readers remember the original 47th Street Photo?

[T]hat excitement of seeing the pictures for the first time used to be controlled by FotoMat, or by the camera store, or by the mini-lab, or the drugstore. And now, YOU control the moment when the pictures are first revealed. And that's the crux of why the photography business, and many related businesses are in trouble. There's been a paradigm shift.
