Unprompted review
Best priced printer in the country👌
Have been looking for a quality photo printer and been doing my homework for some months. Couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I looked on London camera exchange website. They were offering a large discount on purchases. I saved nearly £100 on a brand new printer which arrived 2 days after purchase. They kept me informed of all details from payment to delivery. I cannot rate this company more highly.
I will most certainly be using them for future purchases of all my photography equipment.
Many thanks for the fantastic service🤙

The service was very fast, the camera well packaged. The delivery seemless.
