        "review": "The Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55 earns its official IMAX-certified status through its massive 102-megapixel sensor and an industry-leading 32.71mm 4:3 Open Gate height, mirroring the expansive, vertical canvas of original 65mm IMAX film. While Christopher Nolan’s purist commitment to traditional analog filmmaking delivers iconic grandeur, it remains bottlenecked by the extreme physical constraints of noisy, colossal 15-perf cameras that restrict dialogue recording and steady handheld setups. The Eterna 55 completely shatters those limitations by marrying that same legendary IMAX vertical scale with cutting-edge digital advantages: flawless low-light dual-native ISO, a whisper-quiet compact body, over 14 stops of dynamic range, and an integrated electronic variable ND filter that adapts instantly to changing lighting conditions. By pairing these modern mechanics with 90 years of legendary Fujifilm digital film science, this camera transcends the classic celluloid workflow—giving modern directors the freedom to capture immense, immersive spectacles without the operational headache of the past.",

🔄 Understanding Scraping Modes

🔎 Full Sync

Use Full sync to build a fresh product catalog from B&H category pages.

The actor visits category pages, discovers product URLs, and extracts complete product details including pricing, specifications, inventory status, images, and optional reviews.

🔄 Update Existing

Use Update Existing to refresh products collected during previous runs without recrawling category pages.

This mode is optimized for recurring monitoring workflows such as tracking price changes, stock availability, and product updates across existing catalogs.

---

🛠 Troubleshooting

No products returned?

Make sure the provided categoryUrls are valid B&H category pages.

Update Existing mode returns no products?

Run a Full sync first to build the initial product catalog.

Reviews are missing?

Enable includeReviews and increase reviewsLimit if needed.

Scraping runs are slow?

Large categories, higher product limits, and reviews extraction may increase runtime.

---

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this B&H scraper without coding?

Yes. You can run the actor directly from the Apify dashboard without writing code.

Can I use the data for Shopify or ecommerce catalogs?

Yes. The extracted product data can be exported in JSON or CSV formats for ecommerce stores, catalogs, databases, and automation workflows.

What is the difference between Full Sync and Update Existing?

Full sync builds a new product catalog from category pages, while Update Existing refreshes previously collected products without recrawling categories.

Does reviews extraction increase usage costs?

Yes. Customer reviews extraction requires additional requests and is priced separately at $1 per 1,000 reviews extracted.

How often should I run Update Existing mode?

For price and inventory monitoring workflows, running Update Existing once every 24 hours is typically sufficient.

Do I need external proxies or API access?

No. The actor handles request management and extraction automatically without requiring external proxies or API keys.
