My Favourite camera shop

Within days of enquiring about the Canon R200-800 I was in the shop in Brixham picking mine up. I have been shopping at Mifsuds for over 15 years and its always a pleasure to drop in for chat and to nose around their new and extensive 2nd hand equipment.
Also excellent for mail order and part exchange - i have had plenty of used kit from them over the years without any problems.

Excellent service buying used Nikon camera

I purchased a used Nikon camera, the description was good enough to make me risk buying online for the first time from Mifsuds. The camera arrived quickly and was well packaged. I was delighted to see that it was in better condition than I had expected with the added bonus that the sensor had been cleaned and firmware updated as part of the sale! Matthew kept me informed every step of the way. Top service, will definitely use again!!

Amazing Shop

Amazing place, they had a canon lens adapter that I had been looking for, I couldn't find it in stock anywhere else in the county but they had it ! Matthew was very helpful, I would highly recommend checking this place out.

Not a good experience with this shop

Not a good experience with this shop. They bought a camera from me on eBay which was exactly as described but then rejected it. Looking at their website, you can see how much mark-up they make on such things. So best to try eBay first before paying a premium with this shop for second-hane equipment.

I am in Kent and yet I deal with Mifsuds who are over 200 miles away from me. They offer a great old fashioned service and have never let me down. Good used products, more or less new, and swift service.

Out of warranty service.....

When returning a faulty used pair of Binoculars they went out of their way to get them repaired by contacting the manufacturer and then repairing them in house. Binoculars then returned by secure delivery without any charge. Great customer service!
In addition to that probably one of the best photographic shops in the country with very helpful staff.

Excellent - friendly, professional and quality products

I have been using Mifsuds for over 10 years and every single time they deliver excellence in terms of customer service and product. A good example of this was a recent drama averted by Mifsuds when our daughter’s 7D stopped working on Saturday with a looming deadline on Monday for a GCSE shoot which had been left to the last minute. Not only did Mifsuds go above and beyond in terms of opening out of hours following a call but we left with a much better camera and our pockets felt a lot better for it. If I could score 6stars+ I would do it every time. Thanks all

Excellent Company

Been looking for a Billingham 335 bag , spotted one on Mifsuds website, spoke to Matthew on Wednesday morning and the bag was with me Thursday lunchtime.
Bag was exactly as described, which I didn’t doubt, having bought my 225 from Matthew earlier this year.
Highly recommend Mifsuds

My go-to photography dealer.

Mifsuds has been my go-to photography dealer for a number of years now. From the very outset I have found Matt and his staff to be helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. They really take their time to listen and understand my requirements so that I always come away with what is right for me, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. I have both bought and sold from them on numerous occasions, including a recent trade-in entailing a major change of gear. There are plenty of camera shops a lot nearer to where I live, but I can't see why I would want to go anywhere else when they provide such an excellent service.

I have used Mifsuds since I first got into photography four years ago. I have purchased several cameras & lenses from them, had camera sensors cleaned and also sold equipment to them, & the service they provide is the best I have experienced.
They are a family business & are recognised in the camera industry as one of the finest. David

Matt was very helpful over a number of weeks via email with my enquires. I visited the shop to view an item which ultimately, I did purchase. Genuine personable team in-store, great customer service, nothing was too much and even gave me a free gift as I was leaving. Despite it being a 300 mile round trip for me, I would return in a heartbeat. One to trust & highly recommended. Thank you.

Great company to deal with

As on previous occasions, Matt was really helpful and efficient. The whole process of selling used equipment to them was quick, efficient and painless, from making first enquiry to receiving the money in my bank account was just a few short days later. I can recommend Mifsuds to all, both for selling to and buying from.

Outstanding service

Asked for a quote on Wednesday to trade in four lenses. Had a response within one hour. Posted next morning and delivered to Mifsuds on Friday morning. Cash in bank Saturday morning. Frequent emails to update me on progress. Very happy with price paid and outstanding service.

Great shop, highly recommend

Matt was really helpful and friendly from the moment I entered the shop. As an amateur, I had no clue what I was really looking for and Matt provided me with the guidance I needed to make an informed decision on equipment best suited to me without feeling pressured. There’s a huge range of equipment to rent, as-well as purchase and all at really great prices. Highly recommend!!
