Photography shopping in Rio De Janeiro

  1. A

    Casa & Video

    If you’ve lost your digital camera (or forgot to bring one), this electronics chain is a handy store to get a replacement. All the name brands are here – Kodak, Samsung, Sony – as well as some you probably haven’t heard of. Prices are higher than what you’d pay back home (owing to high import taxes). Casa & Video has numerous other branches around town, including inside Rio Sul shopping center.

    Lomography Gallery Store

    The very first Lomography outpost in South America, this colorful shop and gallery specializes in the Lomo Kompakt Automat, a compact Russian film camera known for saturated colors and surreal effects (halos, shadowing). You can purchase different models here at the store, check out the LomoWall (of photographic art) and learn more about the growing fan base worldwide who are devoted to these analog cameras.
