Fujiya Avic is a commercial video shop familiar to video users. It was merged with its parent company, Fujiya Camera, and became the Fujiya Avic division of Fujiya Camera, but this time it opened as Fujiya Camera Dougakan on October 1. The location is right in front of Fujiya Camera near the north exit of Nakano Station, which is familiar to camera users. Personally, I live along the Chuo Line, so Fujiya Camera is the shop where I buy and sell my cameras the most. As I walk toward the familiar Fujiya Camera, I suddenly see a new building in front of the Fujiya Camera!
When you step out of your usual Fujiya camera, you will see this scene. Where are we? That's what it feels like. The 1st floor is a movie theater, and the 2nd floor is a goods hall. By the way, the basement 1F is a brand new building with no tenants yet.
When you enter the store, the monitor above the cash register stands out like a video theater.
This is what the store looks like. In fact, out of the three Fujiya Avic stores in Nakano Broadway, the store that sells headphones remains, and the two video stores have closed, and it seems that used equipment has been moved here.
Because of the glass lining, it has a very open atmosphere, and people walking in the city look like this. In front of you is a pachinko parlor.
A Carl Zeiss lens display and a beckoning cat at a pachinko parlor. Would you say it's a Tokyo-like, Nakano-like landscape?
However, the lenses on the display shelves are full-fledged cine lenses, and the gap makes me a little dizzy.
We also have used rig parts.
There are also second-hand handhelds that are familiar to video users, and the HVR-MRC1K, which can record to memory cards with the Z5J, is also lined up. Probably some production put it out together.
Other than that, there are quite a few used EOS C300 Mark IIs on the market. Is this because the Mark III came out this spring? Well, it's normal to replace it, if it's that evolution.
The tripods that were in the Fujiya Evic are completely gone, but the tripods have been moved to the store above. The layout of this area will be reviewed at the video hall and the goods hall in the future.
The tripod corner in the 2nd floor store. There was a little tripod for video here, but honestly, it felt unsatisfactory. There is no lighting related to the video.
Mr. Miyazaki, the store manager. It is said that a different type of customer has come in. The advantage is that it is easy for still camera customers to enter, and the single lens and gimbal at the entrance may create an easy-to-enter atmosphere. In the past, I had to walk from the Nakano Broadway shop to Fujiya Camera in front of the station to get a single-lens lens, but now it's right in front of me, so it's easier to get directions and pay.
Actually, the website was renewed along with the opening of the new store. Fujiya Avic's site is dedicated to audio, and video is on Fujiya Camera's web site. This is the correct classification considering that SLR and video cameras have fused to this extent.

When I interviewed, it was around noon on a weekday, but there were more Fujiya Camera customers in the shop, and there were fewer people walking in at the Dougakan, and there were more phone calls. It seemed After all, there are many corporate customers. In the future, I would like to take advantage of this location and become a gateway for camera fans to enter the deep swamp of video.
