These guys are the best! I will never send my camera anywhere else! From start to finish they stayed in constant communication and did the work. I gave them five stars because 6 wasn’t an option!

We have Panasonic AJ-PX270s in the WMBB news department. Im able to service most issues until it comes down to board level stuff. I was referred to MYK Camera Repair and thought I would give them a shot.I got an estimate for the repair within 20 hours after filling out the online form which I though was amazing. I sent the camera to them and I receive a response during the weekend describing what they found and what it would take to perform the repair - absolutely amazing!The camera is back in operation within 2 weeks which is 6 weeks shorter than the Panasonic service and the cost of repair was VERY fair.MYK has my business from now on!

My Sony EX3, somewhat long in tooth, began turning off during concert shoots. Found MYK through Google search and recommendation of a student of mine, plus the fact that videos of the repair process to my specific problem were done by John at MYK. He did the repair extremely promptly, sent pictures, cleaned and tested the camera before sending it back, and in total did everything we used to expect from a service business but so rarely experience these days. My number 1 recommendation!!!! Thank you John!!!!

My experience:- Liked that they were in the Midwest as opposed to on the coast.- Liked repairs videos on website to see how they worked.- Sent camcorder symptoms via E-mail on Sunday, got estimate on Monday.- Initially thought cost was high, but reconsidered after watching several DIY videos and saw that estimate included return shipping and a warranty period (above the hard-to-find parts, and labor).- Tracked insured packages arrival at store and received pictures of completed repair later THE SAME DAY.- Paid the invoice the next day and the package shipped the next.- Received package today. All my packing materials were returned inside a larger package containing additional packing materials.- Inserted memory card and attached battery and tested camera. Not only was repair done successfully, but camera had been thoroughly cleaned; even the sticking power switch; which I did not mention, was now clean with smooth movement.Very impressed. Very pleased. Great work, MYK!-NJ

Contacted with a description of the problem I was having with my Sony SLT-A55V camera. John responded with an estimate that was reasonable. I sent the camera in and he replied next day with a firm price. I accepted and he repaired the camera very quickly! I got the camera just in time for my vacation. I took a few practice shots and it performed like new!! I highly recommend John and the folks at MYK Camera. Great service, great communication. All around great experience!!

This is an absolutely amazing service. We have years of memories on DV tapes and our DV camcorder stopped working when transferring them to the computer. MYK came to the rescue. They repaired our camcorder and now it is in perfect working order! It is amazing that there is a place that can repair a 15 year old camcorder to working condition! Very impressive! Without being able to repair our camcorder, I would have been forced to be a used unit off of eBay and take a chance that the used unit would have problems as well. I highly recommend MYK!

Both my sons are getting married this year and I wanted to put a video together to show at the weddings. Unfortunately when I went to use my Sony Handycam it was not working. So glad I found a reliable company like MYK Camera Repair to get it working again. I took me a month to have the time to take it out of the box after receiving it, but it works great. Thank you for helping me share my memories! I highly recommend them! Quick turnaround and very reasonable prices.

My Canon 6D encountered an issue for the first time since I bought it. I have no knowledge of fixing a camera...So I googled camera repair and found MYK Camera Repair and their website. They offer free estimates on their site for those of us with uncertainty. John replied to me right away with a reasonable, not scary, estimate.I drove to his shop with my camera and was treated with sincere and professional manner. He came out in the cold to my car (due to current situation with pandemic) and explained things that I didnt even think about. I told him Im not in hurry.Only 2 days later, message from John letting me know its fixed WITH SEVERAL PICTURES OF MY CAMERA! Now, talk about attention to details! Its like when you drop your dog off at dog daycare and they keep updating you with current pictures of your dog.This is the time to support your local business more than ever, and Im almost glad that my camera broke, because now I know where to go if anything ever happens to my camera again!

This place did an OUTSTANDING JOB on my camera. They brought my Panasonic Pro camcorder back to life and I am so happy with the service. They took a look at the issues...let me know what route they were going to take with it BEFORE they worked on it. Communication is so key. So when I told them to go ahead with it...they were innovative in their solutions and got my camcorder working again for me...really quick too! THANKS SO MUCH FOR GREAT SERVICE...I sincerely appreciate it! Camera is working awesome again! Makes my life so much easier...in just capacity. Thank you again!

I was devastated when my ancient Sony camcorder quit working. I could not find anywhere locally that could fix it. I was really concerned about sending it somewhere. John provided an estimate that was what the actual cost ended up being. He responded very quickly to all my emails AND it was fixed within a day or so. I was so relieved to get it back! I will be keeping MYK Camera Repair Services in my book of who to go to and when I have issues with a camera or camcorder it most definitely will be sent to MYK Camera Repair!

I was referred to John (MYK Camera Repair) by a friend who also shoots breaking news in NYC. I reached out to John by email and got an almost instantaneous response saying that he could easily fix my Panasonic AG-CX350’s issue. I sent it to him and the same day he received it he had it fixed and ready to go. It took less than a week from when I shipped it out to when I got it back. John is a true professional and does amazing work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I sent in my Sony A7III with a broken HDMI port. John was super responsive, friendly, and even asked if I wanted to update the firmware. The camera came back in full working condition in a reasonable turnaround time and would return to him if I ever broke my camera again. Hopefully not though!

My Sony Digital 8 HandyCam stopped working several years ago, and I had several old tapes that were extremely valuable as teaching material. The camera would eat the video tapes. I got a very reasonable online estimate from MYK, and I shipped the camera via UPS. In less than a week, I got it back, working just as when it was new (not bad for a 20 year-old piece of equipment). From the onset John H. was extremely courteous and attentive to detail, and promptly responded to all my inquiries. Highly recommend their service.

There are very few camera shops that that deserve a five star rating.This repair shop is that one.I took my jvc 3d camcorder to the most likable tech i have met.He is the best.He repaired my camcorder in a less than a week. It had focusing issues that he had all the confidence that he would be able to repair it .It works as new now and i am very happy.Thanks John!!

After trying to get my JVC mini DV camcorder fixed, turns out it was to old, parts not available, however, MYK Camera was able to provide me a solution that I was aiming for and that was to get 15 mini DV cassettes converted to MP4s and they did just that. I live in FLA and could have gone anywhere down here but MYK was confident and ready to do the job so I shipped them the cassettes and BLAM, they came back in a timely manner on a 32 GB flash drive in MP4 format and now I can watch on my HDTV/Computer/iPhone how skinny I was 15 years ago and with no gray hair! It was professional, fast service, and ya know I just had a feeling they knew what the heck they were doing so I went out of state. Highly recommend working and giving your business to MYK Camera. I am very satisfied with the sales and service. Kudos .. JTR

I was quite impressed with the email updates for my camcorder. They started from the time my camera arrived, continued during the repair process to update me on the repairs, and concluded with a message letting me know my camera was on the way back. It was a great experience. The process was great! I feel like I have new camcorder (and I bought it used). It works great. Thank you so much for working with me!

I chose MYK from two online sites (no place local anymore) and could not be more pleased with the choice. MYK is very professional in their interaction. It was a surprisingly quick turnaround too, even around the holidays. Well priced, and all-around good experience. I definitely recommend MYK.

Review №26

Shipped out my Canon XF 100 on a Monday, and received it back, repaired for the quoted price, on Thursday of the same week. I had sent requests for quotes to five repair shops. Their quote was slightly higher than some, but upon reading up on the others, I found out why. Many of the others are notorious for low quote, get your camera, then hold it hostage for a higher cost, sometimes more than twice the quote. John did exactly what he said he was going to do, for exactly the price. I will certainly use them for any future camera repairs!

I have used other camera repair services before however in the future I will only use MYK. They were professional, kept me informed, and their prices were reasonable. there were significant issues that were effecting the performance of my Sony A99 aperture however I had learned how to use setting like exposure control to compensate. When I received the camera back it was like a new camera the performance is incredible and I appreciate MYK for everything. CH

I started using my personal Canon Vixia HF G20 to help streaming at my church due to COVID-19 and had issues with video input caused by mis-manipulation which rendered it useless to stream. I found John Hans MYK Camera Repair on Google and contacted him by e-mail; he replied with a free estimate within hrs. I sent my camera and got it back quickly and completely fixed; he even changed my mini HDMI port at no charge! Excellent communication with John. Highly recommend; I found my go-to camera service guy for years to come.Jaime Montoya

What great service and communication and the issue with my camera (Sony A55). John did a super-fast repair to it and had it back to me in no time!FYI: Amazon can learn a thing or two from John about packaging. I probably could have thrown the package off the Empire State building and the camera would have survived.UPDATE: I had an issue with my other camera (Sony A6000). Sent it to John in January 2019 and he found a little piece of plastic inside had kept the scroll wheel from working properly. His customer service and repair skills are amazing! The camera works as good as new.

I have had many great experiences with John. He has always treated me fairly with pricing. I have taken many of my high end camcorders to MYK for repair or maintenance and each time, John would immediately understand what was wrong and how to take care of any issues on each camera. A very well informed and capable tech himself, John would never try to bs anyone into having any work done just to upcharge on a simple fix.If you have any technical need or repairs required.. You can feel easy to know that MYK will treat you fairly, with respect and with the quickest time to return your repairs or maintained piece of gear.I will ALWAYS bring my expensive gear here.. For repair and maintenance.

My Canon DSLR 70Ds SD card stopped working and I suspected that a pin(s) may have broken. Found John and MYK through Google search, saw many excellent reviews, so I decided to try. Since I am not too far from his shop, I stopped in and dropped off he camera in person. John emailed later the same day to advise the camera had been fixed (SD card pin had been damaged) and he had also cleaned the sensor and updated the firm ware. The cost was just as estimated and I am very pleased with the quality and speed of service. Thanks!

Definitely recommend. John was professional and responsive; he was easy to communicate with. I shipped my Sony camcorder from Seattle & had it back in my hands less than two weeks later. John communicated that he had completed the repair within a day of receipt of the camcorder. He sent photos showing me that it worked and verified a question I still had. MYK Camera Repair is very easy to work with, and I will absolutely use them if & when I require another repair!

Just had my Canon 5D MKII card reader pins repaired. The service was excellent and fast. Throughout the process, John communicated very well with me. He even did a couple extras (fixed a focus screen and cleaned the sensor).Great place, highly recommended.Also - When I was toying with the idea of making the 3.5 hour drive up there to drop it off in person, he was open to the idea of meeting me outside of business hours to help facilitate that. Dont expect him to do it, but it was definitely above and beyond.

My A55 shutter drive died on me and I had started to research a replacement. As the A77 III was on the horizon, I decided to try to repair the camera instead. I emailed MYK to confirm my error with their description of the repair and John replied within a few hours. The quote for the repair was a great price compared to a new camera so I sent the camera off and let John repair it. He was quick to communicate and kept me updated on the progress of the work including sending me photographs of the disassembled parts and proof showing that it was back in working order. I received my camera back and it is actually BETTER than when I sent it out because of the sensor cleaning. Would definitely recommend!

Who are you going to trust?My Hi8 camcorder didnt work when I tried to use it to convert my old home videos. It had just been sitting on the shelf. I researched a number of places that claim to fix Sony camcorders checking reviews and BBB ratings/complaints. Some places ended up returning the camera to their owners in worse condition then when sent in after doing a free estimate!I am proud to add my 5* rating to MYK Camera Repair. When I called, Mike explained the whole process without any pressure. He gave me an estimate for basic repair/cleaning. If parts were required, he would find them and let me know the cost in advance. After he received the camera, he sent me photos of the problem. The price was very reasonable (cheaper than the others I had researched) and the next day he sent photos with the good news that the camcorder was working perfectly. Because I asked, he gave me options for return shipping. When the camcorder came back, the old parts were in the box.The camera works perfectly! I trust MYK and wouldnt hesitate to recommend him as the best of an ever dwindling set of qualified camcorder repairmen.

Had a broken usb connector on a Sony A7ii and the main board looked pretty bad. John worked with me every step of the way and explained in detail options I had.

I have been very happy with MYK Camcorder Repair. John Han is very accommodating and performed two repairs for us at College of Marin in a very timely manner for a fair price.

This is a terrific place to have ones camcorder repaired, and I am glad to have found it. I live close to the store, so dropped my camera off in person. John, the owner / operator, handled my camera carefully, figured out almost instantly what was wrong with it, quoted me a fair price, and completed the work in less than 24 hours. My impression of John is a very highly capable and most importantly, highly trustworthy, person. Im glad that I found his shop and glad that it is so close to me.

I have a sony video camera which is my work horse. I had a focus problem and had an error message C32:60. A bit of web searching told me this was a relatively common problem for many sony models, including my own. After a number of phone calls and web contacts, MYK got my business because he seemed to understand my problem in our initial phone conversation. I drove from Milwaukee to his shop with my camera late Monday afternoon. By Thursday the camera repair was complete. Actually, I believe the work that he performed made it better than it was before the problem. Professional, fast, and reasonably priced. His work earned my 5 star review on all counts.

I had done a lot of research before I chose John at MYK Camera. First off he was the absolute lowest price for the service. I mailed the camera 2 day mail on Thursday. A Sony HDR-SR12 Video camera. It arrived to him on Saturday. Mid Saturday I got an email saying it was repaired, along with photos showing it working. The correspondence was magnificent. It was mailed back to me on the following Monday. I got the camera and was pleasantly surprised to see that he had fixed the LCD ribbon (The reason for sending the camera) and the power port, which I had not asked to have repaired. I would recommend John at MYK to anyone needing repairs on a camera. Simply the Best at what he does. Thank You So very much John. I will most certainly call on you in the future if I have any other repairs on my Sony cameras.

Not only did we have the unit back in a week, but it looks brand new and is working so much better than it ever did.

Great experience with MYK. Was getting sky high estimates at other repair shops for my Sony EX-1. It had a loose handle grip and the internal screws were coming into contact with a circuit board, causing a short.

Ive used John repeatedly to service both new and aging camcorders.I teach video production at the high school level and the students arent always handling the gear with kid gloves. Thats where MYK Camcorder repair comes in.Johns prices, turn around time and quality of service are the best that Ive found.He always responds promptly and never does a repair without getting approval from his customers. He searches to find me the best price for replacement parts, rather than padding the bill with overpriced components. Even when I factor in shipping my equipment from New Jersey to Illinois, MYK provides the best value.Stop searching the web for the best camcorder repair service out there.

I was hesitant to pick a place I found on-line for my video camera repair but I cannot express how comfortable I was throughout the process. All communication was prompt and professional. They were able to locate a discontinued part. I contacted them about the problem, they quoted me a price, I shipped the camera and they sent emails updating me on the progress. They sent a picture of the repaired camera before asking for payment and shipped it as soon as they received payment. The even included the damaged part with the return shipment. All communication was over email but I was highly satisfied. Service was prompt and repair successful. I hope I never have to fix a digital camera again but if I do, I will definitely use MYK and recommend their repair services.

I was lucky to find MYK Camera online while looking for a Sony repair shop. I have had two very positive experiences with the store recently specially with John who did my repairs. John was very honest and very quick fixing my Sony digital back recorder and my HDV camera. He is a great communicator and will tell you what he can or can not do for you before you send in your equipment.He did not charge me to diagnose my problem. Most shops will charge you a fixed rate to take a look at your equipment before fixing it.He deserves a 5 star rating because my experience with him was outstanding..

John was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. After diagnosing the problem and working directly with Canon we discovered my camera was too far out of date to be repaired.

Impeccable care for the equipment and service to the customer. Knowledgeable diagnosis and explanation of the service recommendation, returned my gear ahead of estimated date. John is my new go-to guy, Great experience!

I was disheartened after a phone call with Canon, which recommended that I ship my DSLR body to its service centers in VA or NJ. I have a trip coming up soon and worried that I wouldnt get it back in time, plus its an extra hassle. Luckily I came across MYK online. John responded promptly to my inquiry and not only did he repair it in less than a day, he also replaced the bashed-in hot shoe and fixed the pop-up flash free of charge. Definitely would recommend.

Impressed. Answered emails, even talked on the phone. Provided details on repair including pictures which are very helpful. After return, had challenges with the camera and he resolved the issue and offered to stand behind his repairs as needed. Could not ask for better service or support

I dropped one of my Sony A7IIs at an event, wouldnt focus, menu was useless. I found MYK via google and I must say, John was absolutely fabulous. Turnaround time, workmanship and price, were second to none and the camera has no cliches or issues. I really like the fact that John identifies the problem, photographs it and sends you a pic of the actual damage and the cost that will be incurred. I highly recommend John & MYK Camera!

Great place to deal with. Fast turn around and prices are good. Even shipping from Canada I had my camera back within 6 weeks of shipping it.

John was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. As a result I was able to resolve my sound issues between my wireless mics and camcorder.

AWESOME JOB! I dropped a movie camera on a sidewalk and broke the touch screen. I took it to a camera shop where they told me the repairs would probably exceed half the price of the camera, and I might very loose the footage on the camera. (This camera has a hard drive). They recommended I just buy a new camera. I stumbled on MYK Camera Camcorder Repair Service on the internet and corresponded with John. I sent him the camera, they replaced the touch screen, cleaned the automatic lens cover, cleaned the camera and lenses, tested it, e-mailed pictures of what they did. And in my case, they were able to repair it the day they received it, and I was able to keep all my previously shot footage, all for less than half of what I was quoted from a different camera shop! I would recommend them to anyone.

GREAT SERVICE! I had called a local firm (KC) that was recommended by two independent businesses, even though it had poor online reviews. Calling them only confirmed that the KC business was arrogant and rude.John Han (MYK), on the other hand, had stellar reviews. So, I requested an online quote, since the problem with the camera was common enough that there were multiple YouTube videos on attempted repairs.Pleasantly surprised, I had a quote the next morning via email, that hed sent the prior evening. Now THAT is someone who wants my business!The reviews were great, so I sent off the camera via FedEx, with full confidence in a great result. So, I was not surprised when John had excellent communication with me and went the extra mile to effect the repair.

It is a pleasure to recommend MYK Camera Repair because quality work at a decent price is so rare these days. The main power switch on my venerable Sony PMW EX1 needed to be replaced (the camera would unexpectedly lose power and reboot on its own-- not a good thing). I contacted MYK and they told me that the problem was a known issue. I shipped the camera to them and they replaced the switch and upgraded the firmware. I liked that they emailed photos of the process as the repair was underway. They were very pleasant to deal with, they do first-rate work and the price was reasonable.I take good care of my gear and dont often need servicing or repairs, but its nice to know MYK is out there if a problem arises.

Three times now, John has taken care of my Canon Videocams. I use these cameras for my TV Show, Team Chicago Challenge, and they are getting old. Because he really knows his stuff, his prices are quite reasonable, because he know what he is doing. His shop is easy to find and it is always worth the trip to MYK Camera.

Brought in a lower end camcorder that wasnt working. He instantly diagnosed the problem as battery related. He didnt even charge me because he didnt sell the parts for mine. (His place is more for the high end stuff.)
