Excellent service

Having ordered from here many times, I accidentally ordered the wrong lens and e-mailed Cotswoldcameras who immediately cancelled the order, refunded my money and steered me to the correct lens to order. Communication, price and service are all excellent!

This shop is great.

This shop is great.

It's my first experience with Cotswoldcameras, but it was immediately a very satisfying one.
The prices for the new gear they they offer are truly competitive and I'm pretty sure that most of the shops can't compete with them.

They respond very quickly to questions asked by email and they are friendly and willing to help you in any way.
Big shout out to David for his patience and help throughout the entire ordering process.

My camera arrived exactly as promised in 10 to 14 working days, and it was very well packed to prevent any possibilty of getting damaged.

I will definitely order more gear at their shop for sure.

My personal experience of Cotswold…

My personal experience of Cotswold Cameras is completely positive.

I asked for guidance and they responded quickly and professionally with the exact information I needed to make my decision.

I placed my order and my equipment arrived securely packaged, very timely and in pristine condition.

The price is exceptional value for money the best I have found and the service has been excellent.

Cotswold Cameras are now my first go to supplier as they have been excellent to me.

Highly recommended

This is my first time using Cotswold Cameras and it won’t be the last. I must admit to being a bit apprehensive initially. However, my order arrived today safe and sound...All new, really well packaged and for a great price!
Thanks to David for the great service!

I read the reviews to be sure this amazing company was real! It is. The product was brand new, and I've registered it for extended warranty with Sony. A phenomenal deal and I am very happy. The lens is a first rate Sony G model and performs fantastically. Wow!

Easy to order

Easy to order, and used loyalty points from previous purchase. Arrived extremely well packed, so unlikely to incur any damage in transport. Works perfectly.

Excellent

You can buy with confidence from this online store. My Sony A7 V was delivered in 12 calendar days from the date of ordering arriving very well packed.

Will definitely use this store again.

Excellent service & prices that cannot be beaten

I was looking for a Nikon camera after a disappointing experience with an OM-3. On my website searches, I came across Cotswold Cameras with, what seemed to be, prices that were too good to be true.
I purchased a Z8 with a 24-70 f4 S-line lens. I knew that the items were being sourced from international suppliers, but that did not concern me.
I received my new camera and lens 8 working days after placing the order. Communications from Cotswold were very informative, and I have no hesitation in awarding them 5 stars. I will definitely use Cotswold again when I make a purchase.

I couldn't believe the Price difference from the main dealers, I thought it can't be right, but I asked about a few Birders and was told it is. So I thought I'd bite the bullet and order the Sony a7v. It arrived Brand New and is a fantastic camera. If anyone is thinking the same, I highly recommend Cotswold Cameras and am already looking at other products.

I ordered a new Nikon Z9 at very competitive price at Cotswoldcameras. I was surprised by the difference comparing to Amazon or other seller such as London’s more known shops. I had however specific needs for the delivery as I was out of the country for about 20 days. Cotswoldcameras were extremely helpful and fast responding and arranged all as I needed. The personalised contact with David in The shop was super useful as I knew I could have all I needed with the right portion of flexibility. The Camera arrived yesterday well packed and in time for my next trip. So, all together a highly recommended camera boutique shop with prime service.

Bought a Canon R7 and lens from Cotswold Cameras. Very happy with kit, the fantastic price and the communication. I had a question about delivery which was promptly answered. Would happily buy again from them.

Top class service at a rock-bottom price

A first class service at a price that undercut all of the opposition. Camera arrived within the advertised timeframe, safely wrapped and delivered by the ever-reliable DPD, so progress could be tracked all the way. I'd recommend Cotswold Cameras to anyone who's looking to buy some new gear.

No fuss purchase

I purchased a camera body and was a bit apprehensive to begin with. I had no cause for concern though as in just over a week I received the camera. It was packaged well and as described. I saved lots of money as the UK shop price was more than double
I would definitely use the company to make future purchases.
