Marc from Southampton Branch really helped me get what I needed especially after Sony had a delayed delivery.
I had a bad experience through Amazon so will never buy technology through them again
Any camera needs in the future will definitely be through LCE.

Another very good experience with a branch of LCE
Re a recently purchased secondhand Manfrotto 055 Pro tripod described as 4* rating.
The tripod arrived in a timely manner in the condition described and for, what I consider to be, a bargain price.
Very pleased with the Manfrotto and with all aspects of the purchase process.

Quick but pricey delivery on small inexpensive item.
Quick turnaround but delivery was a bit pricey for a small item. I would have been happier with a slower but less expensive delivery option.

I needed a new filter for my Fujifilm zoom lens at short notice. The LCE website said you had the type I wanted in stock so I ordered it straightaway. I was kept informed of how my order was progressing and it was delivered well in time for my trip. Full marks to the Southampton store and DPD.
