I am not good at giving reviews but will say after ringing to see if it was possible to get a charger for the battery of my particular camera, the chap who received my call was very polite, patient and helpful. They were able to supply one for me, which I received by mail just over a week later. All good and can use my camera again.

Excellent response to my problem
I bought a vintage camera which was in excellent cosmetic condition, but it turned out to have an unexpected and non-obvious fault. LCE refunded me very promptly and without question. Full marks for their exemplary response, which means I'd be happy to deal with them again.
