How to order a camera from America
If you take photography seriously, even the most advanced phone camera won't be enough. That's why thousands of people every year buy cameras and lenses from the USA through us. This way they can get first-class optical zoom, high light sensitivity sufficient for great evening and night shooting, plenty of more specialized settings, a high-quality bright flash, and sometimes – special protection that allows cameras (for example, GoPro or the Tough models from Olympus) to dive underwater or shoot in the most extreme conditions.
American optics are considered among the most reliable and ergonomic, and the abundance of products lets you find excellent options for both beginners and seasoned pros. Buy directly from the USA – and join the largest market on the planet!

Advantages of Buying a Camera in the USA
1. Low price
America is a valley of supermarkets, and the buyer is king here. Every store tries to run discounts and offer the lowest price in the fight for customers. Compared to the cost of gadgets in Russia, the difference is even more significant. Many of our stores bring equipment from there too, but they pay VAT, rent, salaries, and spend on advertising. As a result, buying the same Canon cameras from the USA at B&H can be one and a half times cheaper, and on sale even twice as cheap as in Russia. Thousands of rubles saved just like that.
2. Wide selection of brands
In the States you can find all camera brands for sale — both American and from other countries. Buying Sony cameras from the USA turns out to be cheaper than even in Japan — thanks to huge sales volumes. The same goes for the famous Pentax cameras: importing them from the USA is more profitable than even from China. Not to mention that there are almost no counterfeits sold in America (according to the latest data — 3.2% on the largest American platforms, versus 30% on Chinese ones). In the USA you can freely buy Canon, Samsung, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Lumix, Panasonic equipment — and be sure that you will receive exactly what you ordered.
3. Plenty of accessories
Most major brands are still sold in Russia. But what we don’t have is an abundance of accessories for them. Quality flashes, lenses, camera bags, microfiber cloths, polarizing filters, macro rings, cases, primes, tripods of different sizes. In the States all of this is sold for any mood and any needs. Often some of these accessories are even offered for free (or with a big discount). When you browse online stores to buy a camera in America, some of them will definitely offer you a suitable lens or camera bag so that the shooting process brings even more enjoyment.
4. Great deals
“Bonus” offers in the form of accessories are far from the only promotion that American stores run to attract new customers. Big discounts (20%, 30%, sometimes even 50%!) are by no means rare. Just visit the Sale or Clearance section on the website, and you will always see photo equipment at the most attractive price. And not offering discounts on Cyber Monday or Black Friday is considered bad form. In November–December, buying cameras and other gadgets in the USA becomes even more profitable than usual. And all discounts are real — this is closely monitored!
5. All the latest models
Even iPhones appear in Russia only several weeks after their official sales begin in the USA. The situation with cameras is even worse: some of the latest models take up to six months to reach Russia. Not to mention lenses and flashes. Many of them never make it to our market at all. Buying such devices directly in America is not only convenient and profitable, but can also be the only possible option.
