Olympus Trip 35
Phoned about this camera and have to say the salesman was exceptionally helpful needless to say I ordered the camera which arrived the next day and I was not disappointed with the condition. Now shooting a roll of HP5 and will find if I snapped well.

Great camera in wonderful condition at an excellent price as well. Really well packed for transit and delivered within 24 hours. First time I have used LCE and now a convert.
Great prompt service
Another thumbs up for an LCE branch, all LCE's I have dealt with have been brilliant. This time it was Taunton, who quoted a tradein price for an item sight unseen which they honoured against a near perfect used lens which I expected to arrive late afternoon or evening the next day only for it to arrive first thing in the morning giving me a great opportunity to try it out!
Made a Mistake but Rectified It
I enquired about buying a used camera from the Taunton store via the LCE website, with details of cameras I was thinking of exchanging.
The camera I bought was delivered in the condition I expected, but when I later took my exchange to a local store as arranged with LCE, it was refused. I emailed LCE who quickly got back to me, apologised, and took the exchange. It was inconvenient, but I appreciate they rectified their mistake.
It turned what would've been a bad review into a good one. I believe companies show their true colours when there are issues, and based on my experience, LCE proved themselves to be a good company who I'll happily deal with again.
Good Service
The staff at the Taunton store were very friendly and helpful in arranging for the repair of my camera

The staff were very friendly
The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
I had an old gift voucher that was out of the date on the face but they were able to honour it.
The advice I received about purchasing different lenses for my camera was comprehensive and they let me test them out before making the purchase.
I will definitely keep using this company.
Easy and straightforward.
I exchanged all of my micro four thirds photography equipment in exchange for a new camera.
The whole process was delt with by Ian Duke .
Ian made the whole process easy and straightforward.
A big thank you to Ian.
