John's Cameras & Records is a gem of a local small business in Blacksburg, offering a unique selection of new and pre‑loved vinyl, cassettes, and camera gear of every stripe and era, including rare batteries and antique cameras. The owner is a camera wizard with a kind heart, very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help, often finding or fixing almost anything. Records are organized and fairly priced, with duplicates kept to a minimum. The shop’s atmosphere is fascinating and draws visitors back. Customers praise the good prices, the friendly staff, and the rare finds like an Edison gramophone and a golden record. It remains a top choice for record‑store travelers and a beloved part of Southern Virginia.

John is as knowledgeable as you can get and just the nicest person. He was super helpful evaluating our old camera equipment and gave us a fair price.
