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

Arrived next day, was very well packaged. No issues and would certainly use again. Thanks for an excellent experience.

Excellent value part exchange. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. A positive experience from first email contact to final purchase of my new lens in store.
Second hand lens purchase
A good selection of lenses. I opted for a suitable lens with the highest condition rating. Portsmouth were helpful in answering my questions. I ordered online and have not been disappointed. The lens was delivered as promised and in excellent condition, it has been working hard for me over the last month or so and I am really pleased with the results. I feel it was really good value for the price paid.
Personal friendly and efficient
Great advice initially and then very helpful and friendly sorting orders and delivery.
I saw the camera in the store on The Strand in London, ordered online and it delivery was sorted by Portsmouth.
Fantastic customer service, above and beyond.
I visited the Portsmouth store this morning seeking advice on what I needed to improve my product photography. Nick was extremely helpful, and went above and beyond to get me sorted out with what I needed.
