FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE . Don’t be frightened of the “grey” import fiasco. I bought a D850 in March 2024 for just over £1500 compared to the UK market price, massive saving for me. All genuinel... See more

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.... See more

I highly recommend this website. It is a genuine and trustworthy store, not fake at all. Everything I received was brand new, original, and in perfect condition.

I have used Cotswoldcameras many times…

I have used Cotswoldcameras many times over the years, I have always found them responsive to questions and realistic on delivery times. All of the items I have purchased are exactly the same as if you purchased them elsewhere but a lot cheaper. I recommended them without hesitation and I am sure I will use them again in the future.

The price for my lens was amazing

The price for my lens was amazing. Far lower than the usual UK stores. I checked Cotswold Cameras credentials carefully before ordering. Everything checked out OK so I ordered. My order was delivered promptly with plenty of tracking information, and in perfect condition. I would use Cotswold Cameras again.

Excellent customer service - Order #1213154

Although I have unfortunately had to return an item, the reasons for doing so are not really relevant to this review.

What I do want to comment on is the customer service I received from Cotswold Cameras. My complaint was acknowledged within an hour, and I received a courteous, professional and understanding response. There was no argument or attempt to avoid the issue. The company immediately offered to arrange collection of the item and provide a full refund.

Whatever my reasons for deciding to return the product, I could not reasonably have asked for more in terms of how my complaint was handled. The customer service I received was prompt, polite and efficient throughout.

Thank you, David, for dealing with the matter so professionally.

Great Price and Good Service

I ordered a camera from Cotswold Cameras much cheaper than anywhere else. It came within 9 days and the product is excellent, packaged well and is a joy to use. Would very much recommend.

Recommended by friends, and now by me,

Very smooth path from placing order with payment and then to delivery. Everything happened as and when they said it would. Amazing prices, and brand new pristine kit all good. Will define use again. I just wish they'd start selling PCs!

First class service and product.

My first purchase from Cotswold Cameras and certainly not my last. Communication throughout the process of delivery was excellent and the new lens absolutely perfect. The price could not be bettered elsewhere. I did initially have concerns about the functioning of the lens which I believed may be faulty. I emailed Cotswold Cameras and received an immediate response from David with a very detailed explanation addressing my concerns. The lens was functioning as it should and it was a lack of understanding on my part with regard to the internal mechanism. I am very impressed with Cotswold Cameras who provide a first class service and product. Do not be afraid to purchase cameras/lenses from this company you will not be disappointed.
