Behind the Scenes at Kamerastore in Finland - Smarter Every Day 2

This tour is the one I have always wanted to do for everyone to see! Seems we just needed the right guest for it to become a reality. We have been trying to do our part to keep film alive for over a decade now, but I think communicating what we are doing has always been a pain point for us. Your visit and questions helped everyone in the team communicate just a bit more than we would as Finns normally. Thank you Destin for the visit (and all the rest)! - Juho ps. If anyone has questions that didn't get answered through this tour, comment them below and I will do a Q&A on the Camera Rescue channel.

I feel sorry for the Finnish workers having to recuperate for days after Destin talking to them

Yay! Finally people get to see the true level of camera nerdiness we have at the office. Also hopefully this helps a bit connect everyone to the real humans behind the testing certificates, restored cameras or nicely packaged boxes. We do loose a lot of nice human interaction being here in the far north and 99% online. Thank you so much for the visit Destin!

The rhythm of this video is like 20 beats slower than the standard Destin video and that is 100% due to us Finns being like that lmao.

-"Finnish names are hard for me, did i do okay?" -"no" Respect the honesty 🤣

The Finns in this video are so patient, Destin has the energy of a golden retriever puppy.

"Who is Jussi?" "Jussi is my best buddy from when we were 2 years olds" "And you started the company together?" "Yes... We did that later on" I'm glad he clarified they didn't start the company together at 2 years of age 😂

Hahaha Finnish people, always technically correct. The best kind of correct! "So you bought the camera at this point?" - "No, the company bought it" 😂

"I feel like things need to be used as long as they can." 100% agree!!

"Swedes have tried to take them away from us but meatballs are our thing" - Juho 2023

Every employee seems very precise in their communications. D: 'Can you do this?' "No, I already did it" D: 'Oh, so you're done already' "No, I'm not done yet" These guys found a niche market and it looks like they are the go-to source for this specialty market. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

One thing that really popped out to me was the literal English translations that the finns have vs. Destin. 'you purchased ' 'I didn't purchase, the company did.' 'so, you purchased the camera' 😅

Kudos for Destin for trying to pronounce Finnish, he didn't succeed but i adore the effort ❤

I didn't know anything about these guys and they are 300 meters away. AWESOME.

as a Finn it’s so cool to see youtubers whose content you enjoy and who you wouldn’t expect to come to Finland do just that

The enthusiasm of Juho is amazing to listen to, he really believes in what he does and I strongly agree that repair is the best option when it comes to consumer devices. Recycling is good, repairing is better. Also people like Jukka are great mentors, you can see how much he enjoys working on that Leica!

I worked at Polaroid in Massachusetts during the mid 80's. I was the 2nd shift quality control supervisor in optics. We used laser interferometers to measure power and irregularity plus other devices. This is amazing to me. Love seeing it all coming back.

The quickest delivery. Like 3 days from Finland to Ireland. Competitors from Germany take up to 12 days.

What a surprise to learn that my hometown has people dedicating their work to giving new life to old cameras.

These kinds of people are the goats, not just for doing cool things like saving film photography, but also for being willing to be on camera speaking a non-native language to them. Way to be!!
