Second Sunday Camera Show, Firemen's Hall, 97 Parish Drive @ Route 23 and 202 South (north of Rt. 46 and I-80), Wayne, NJ.
Info/mailing list: (973) 838-4301 ------- www.showsandexpos.com
-I haven't gone to one yet, but it's the only old-fashioned camera show left in the NYC area.
When I was a teenager, the New York Photographic Historical Society used to have semi-annual shows at the Statler Hilton opposite Penn Station. Those were the days...🙂

A year and (almost) a half later - looking for information. Found the website, but what should I expect?

As dave61 said, it's one in Wayne NJ. I have been there many times, and for the most part, pretty disappointing. Lots of junk. If you are looking for accessories, it is ok, but pretty poor selection of cameras or lenses. Admission fee is $5.

Camera shows have become pathetic in Chicago also. Dealers with the same old junk on tables in a room they have been showing for years.

The last one had 8 dealers and three customers on a Sunday AM.

I picked up a decent looking 180 2.8 ED Nikkor, put it on a camera to try out. Pure mush.
The dealer tried and cound not get a sharp pic either. He put it back on the table for someone else.

The shows have been in decline for twenty years and it keeps getting worse.

Google Photorama for shows and location.

I've been to this one exactly once. I arrived towards the tail end when lots of the dealers were packing up. There were probably about 30 or so sellers. Lots of junk and odds and ends, but probably a few hidden gems. If you've got an hour to kill this coming Sunday, the admission charge isn't very much (I think it's $5 unless you want to come for the first hour when it's slightly more).
