2nd hand purchase
After finding out my photographic needs, Tom was superb in guiding me towards the most suitable 2nd hand camera and sourcing it for me. He aimed the conversation at exactly the right level and I am very grateful to him as I love my new purchase.

Very helpful staff!
I bought a camera online after lots of very quick advice given to me on a Sunday afternoon and it arrived a Tuesday. I had no camera knowledge and the guy helping was great and my daughter was very happy with gift!

Great friendly staff who know their stuff 👍
I recently popped into the Portsmouth camera exchange to hunt for a new camera. Needed to upgrade my trusty canon 7d to assist with my photography course and portfolio shooting. Nick was on hand to assist me. He dealt with all my questions and the next day I purchased my new r6. I purchased via a link online and the camera was delivered a couple of days later 👍 great service and will be back again when it’s time to upgrade 🙌 thank you Nick
