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.

I ordered a new Nikon Z9 at very competitive price at Cotswoldcameras. I was surprised by the difference comparing to Amazon or other seller such as London’s more known shops. I had however specific needs for the delivery as I was out of the country for about 20 days. Cotswoldcameras were extremely helpful and fast responding and arranged all as I needed. The personalised contact with David in The shop was super useful as I knew I could have all I needed with the right portion of flexibility. The Camera arrived yesterday well packed and in time for my next trip. So, all together a highly recommended camera boutique shop with prime service.

Top class service at a rock-bottom price

A first class service at a price that undercut all of the opposition. Camera arrived within the advertised timeframe, safely wrapped and delivered by the ever-reliable DPD, so progress could be tracked all the way. I'd recommend Cotswold Cameras to anyone who's looking to buy some new gear.

No fuss purchase

I purchased a camera body and was a bit apprehensive to begin with. I had no cause for concern though as in just over a week I received the camera. It was packaged well and as described. I saved lots of money as the UK shop price was more than double
I would definitely use the company to make future purchases.

Brilliant to deal with

Brilliant to deal with, from the initial support desk emails to the purchase / delivery communication. The packaging of the camera delivery was also the best I’ve seen with extra protection on the outer packaging to keep the investment safe and secure. The camera, a Canon R6 mk3 has been a joy.

It's the way to make your money go further.

After checking they could supply the lens I was after (a quickly returned email) I placed my order.
The delivery was very fast and I received my lens in about a week.
This is my 4th purchase from Cotswold cameras and I couldn't be happier, especially considering the money I saved.

7th Purchase

This 28 - 400 mm carry about lens is the 7th purchase I have made from Cotswold over the years and in each case the sale has been completed with no issue. I would definitely recommend and will use again 5*****

Very cautious at first

Very cautious at first as I have never, knowingly, purchased items through a UK Grey import supplier. However I read reviews and looked for feedback from customers who had used Cotswold Cameras; who's eased my concern. Anyway I took the bate and everything went well with no issues, with good communications. Received my camera around 2/3 weeks later and I was very pleased with the product and my savings £££ I made.
Would definately use Cotawold Cameras again.

Exceptional price and service - even when there is a problem

Have bought 3 cameras and several lenses here - always great value and good service. But the test is always when something goes wrong! The latest body (Nikon z6iii) had a minor fault - no argument, they took it straight back and immediately sent out a brand new replacement. Will always use and recommend them in the future.

My brand new o system Olympus 50-200 2.8 pro arrived in super quick time last week perfectly wrapped,
Been out using it every day since and it’s totally worth every penny,virtually every shot is pin sharp and it’s just a joy to use.
I’ve been using Cotswold cameras for years now and they have never let me down so would definitely recommend.
