Absolutely Brilliant

Absolutely Brilliant

I have ordered a number of cameras and lenses from Cotswolds Cameras over the past couple of years and they have always offered unbeatable value and exemplary service.

Just one example of how they go “over-and-beyond” is the way that they meticulously box and package items. Most retailers would just simply place an item in a flimsy generic cardboard box and stuff some brown paper around the insides, meaning that in transit the item has little protection from being thrown around inside the box, being squashed and/or offering little protection if exposed to the wet. Cotswold Cameras carefully wrap the item in bubble wrap, then make a bespoke box that exactly fits the item using double reinforced cardboard, then places reinforcement protection to every corner, and then finally tape the box in its entirety ensuring that it is completely water tight; thus, resulting in an item that is delivered in absolute pristine condition.

They are my go-to first choice camera/lens retailer and I highly recommend them.

Great service as always

Quick delivery, high quality lens for an unmatchable price and good communication from the shop too. I have bought from these guys on several occasions and never been disappointed.

Far better experience than expected

I usually work on the premise that what looks too good to be true most probably is too good to be true but how wrong was I. Ordering and receiving my new OM systems 75/300 lens could not have been easier, and the price well that was the biggest surprise as it was far cheaper than anything near new condition even second hand. What I expected was a white box product but no. A brand new OM Systems boxed lens turned up within the 10 to 14 day delivery period with clear communication of the order delivery process to boot. Will I be using them again. Well it would be rude not to just need to save a few more pennies for the camera I have got my eye on at a £1000 plus saving.

Nikon Z 28-400mm f4-8 VR Lens

As always a good service, the equipment is always genuine and the price a lot lower. Delivered, in my case, by DPD. I never use anyone else for camera stuff. I would recommend Cotswolds Cameras

Excellent service

Having ordered from here many times, I accidentally ordered the wrong lens and e-mailed Cotswoldcameras who immediately cancelled the order, refunded my money and steered me to the correct lens to order. Communication, price and service are all excellent!

This shop is great.

This shop is great.

It's my first experience with Cotswoldcameras, but it was immediately a very satisfying one.
The prices for the new gear they they offer are truly competitive and I'm pretty sure that most of the shops can't compete with them.

They respond very quickly to questions asked by email and they are friendly and willing to help you in any way.
Big shout out to David for his patience and help throughout the entire ordering process.

My camera arrived exactly as promised in 10 to 14 working days, and it was very well packed to prevent any possibilty of getting damaged.

I will definitely order more gear at their shop for sure.

My personal experience of Cotswold…

My personal experience of Cotswold Cameras is completely positive.

I asked for guidance and they responded quickly and professionally with the exact information I needed to make my decision.

I placed my order and my equipment arrived securely packaged, very timely and in pristine condition.

The price is exceptional value for money the best I have found and the service has been excellent.

Cotswold Cameras are now my first go to supplier as they have been excellent to me.

This is my first time using Cotswold Cameras and it won’t be the last. I must admit to being a bit apprehensive initially. However, my order arrived today safe and sound...All new, really well packaged and for a great price!
Thanks to David for the great service!

I read the reviews to be sure this…

I read the reviews to be sure this amazing company was real! It is. The product was brand new, and I've registered it for extended warranty with Sony. A phenomenal deal and I am very happy. The lens is a first rate Sony G model and performs fantastically. Wow!

Easy to order

Easy to order, and used loyalty points from previous purchase. Arrived extremely well packed, so unlikely to incur any damage in transport. Works perfectly.

You can buy with confidence from this online store. My Sony A7 V was delivered in 12 calendar days from the date of ordering arriving very well packed.

Will definitely use this store again.

Excellent service & prices that cannot be beaten

I was looking for a Nikon camera after a disappointing experience with an OM-3. On my website searches, I came across Cotswold Cameras with, what seemed to be, prices that were too good to be true.
I purchased a Z8 with a 24-70 f4 S-line lens. I knew that the items were being sourced from international suppliers, but that did not concern me.
I received my new camera and lens 8 working days after placing the order. Communications from Cotswold were very informative, and I have no hesitation in awarding them 5 stars. I will definitely use Cotswold again when I make a purchase.

I couldn't believe the Price difference…

I couldn't believe the Price difference from the main dealers, I thought it can't be right, but I asked about a few Birders and was told it is. So I thought I'd bite the bullet and order the Sony a7v. It arrived Brand New and is a fantastic camera. If anyone is thinking the same, I highly recommend Cotswold Cameras and am already looking at other products.
