Amazing Deal for the Kodak Pixpro FZ45
The Kodak Pixpro FZ45 arrived extremely well-packaged, and it included all the accessories I needed. The value is incredible, the price for this full bundle was about the same as the camera alone on Amazon. Really pleased with the purchase!

Part exchange dealt with professionally and helpfully
Very helpful staff dealing with my part exchange of a Canon 7D for a R7. Fair trade in price, no hard sell, and a good price for the new camera. I have used Winchester LCE before and found them professional and informative.
