Camera Shop in Ensenada?
Howdy,
Well, as bad luck would have it, my GoPro Hero cam now resides on the bottom of the bay in San Quintin. It's one of my most used pieces of equipment
and I really can't shoot without one. Does anyone know if there is a decent camera shop in Ensenada or something equivalent to a Best Buy that might
carry one of these cameras.
Thanks in advance.

Hate to say it, but I think you'll have to get that thing across the line and hope it can be saved. Whatever you do, keep it submerged in fresh water
til you get it to an expert.
I doubt anyone here sells them or knows what they are. Folks here who are into cameras, do all their business at Nelson's or George's in San Diego.

oooops.....guess you didn't mention repair. It must be a goner.
Anyway....San Diego, or if you know someone here who can get one online and you have a few days to wait for it.
Again....nothing like it that I know of in Ensenada.

The GoPro is an underwater camera and it was mounted to the top of my kayak. the adhesive must have come loose but when I say it's in the bay...I
mean...it's in the bay. At the bottom. Never to be seen by me again.

sorry to hear about your camera.
was yours the HD HERO2 surf edition camera?
are you able to use it as a regular camera without the waterproof housing?
on edit:
would it be suitable to use while snorkeling?

I didn't have the Hero 2, just the Hero 1 so there's a silver lining in there somewhere. The 2 looks like it take amazing footage. I know the Hero 1
did. It can be used as a regular camera but without all the bells and whistles. That being said it still takes some groovy shots that have the fish
eye feel to them. The attached photo was taken using the camera but keep in mind they aren't great in low light.
(sorry for the photo size, just wanted to give an example of the quality. this has also been reduced in size from the original. )
Here's a video I shot using the GoPro 1.
http://youtu.be/cz4l_v-WQLs
They're good to 100 ft + so I would imagine they'd be good for snorkeling although I would research filters that allow for better shots under water.

I think the only thing that would come close in Ensenada would be COSTCO or Sam's Club

Perhaps send a Facebook message to these folks. Do it in Spanish, use translate.google.com if needed.

Looking for new, or repair work?
I've been shootin' around Ensenada for thirty years[+] and nothing I would trust for repairs comes to mind....especially since digital took over the
market.
Your best bet for reliable work [without shipping to an online shop]will be San Diego.

This poor old man is confused. 
For that specific item, you can check Sears in downtown Ens (328 Ruiz Ave.). I got my hero5 there 20% cheaper than amazon or any store NOB.
If you want used gear or need need service for your equipment, you can check on FB for La Casa del Fotografo, (https://www.facebook.com/La-Casa-del-Fot%C3%B3grafo-16721044...), or there are at least 8-10 groups for buy and sale of used and new cameras and
related paraphernalia, all of´em in town, from high end gear to point-and-shoot.
Or, if you can wait 2 or 3 days, Amazon.mx or walmart online sometimes have great deals. |

Archie, you are replying to a five and a half year old post that was resurrected by a Newbie to promote a link of their own. I did not click on the
"camera shop" link, but I would bet that it is just trolling for business!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Don't know what Sean is looking, but here's an alternate plan for the Go-Pro..............try the AKASO. Amazon has them for as low as 50 bucks.
Seems like a lot of camera for the price, but.. let us know:
