B&H is a New York electronics store, open since 1973, selling cameras, computers, pro video and audio gear, lighting, drones and TVs.
The detail that shapes your savings is shipping: most orders over $49 get free expedited delivery in the contiguous US, and most smaller orders still ship free.
B&H Photo Video calls itself the professional's source, and its flagship NYC SuperStore stands at 420 9th Ave in Manhattan, where online orders can also be picked up. Beyond the main categories, the catalog extends to camcorders, optics, surveillance, mobile accessories and audio-visual equipment, plus a used-gear department and a trade-in service for older equipment.
The retailer runs separate programs for business, government and education buyers, a Student Advantage program and a federal marketplace. Live chat connects shoppers with staff experts on cameras, video, drones, lighting and pro audio. B&H also publishes Explora, a news and reviews site, hosts a photography podcast and issues its own Payboo credit card.
