J&R Computer/Music World

 

J&R is a well-known retail store in New York City, located on Park Row, across from New York City Hall. J&R stands for Joe and Rachelle Friedman, the founders, who established the company in 1971. The heavily trafficked store has expanded from selling LPs to the current umbrella encompassing J&R Music World and J&R Computer World, selling everything from VCRs to the latest electronic gadgets.

Online sales

With the main J&R location just a block from the World Trade Center site, the company lost millions of dollars of electronic equipment due to the September 11, 2001 attacks. But, the company's growing online sales helped sustain the company. J&R has an Amazon Marketplace agreement with Amazon.com to sell merchandise through that channel, in addition to its own online store. A customer has to pay return shipping fee even when their product is defective. It is also known that the customer service of J&R often ignores complaints from customers.

Video cameras

* Professional video cameras such as those used in television and movie production. These typically have multiple image sensors (one per color) to enhance resolution and color gamut. Professional video cameras usually do not have a built-in VCR or microphone.
* Camcorders used by amateurs. They generally include a microphone to record sound, and feature a small LCD to watch the video during taping and playback.
* Webcams are digital cameras attached to computers, used for video conferencing or other purposes. Webcams can capture full-motion video as well, and some models include microphones or zoom ability.

In addition, many still digital cameras have a "movie" mode, in which images are continuously acquired at a frame rate sufficient for video.
