Cotswoldcameras Reviews 

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.

First time using Cotswold cameras the whole process start to finish was excellent.
All questions answered promptly
Delivery arrived safely within the agreed timeframe.
Saved a considerable amount of money compared to uk retailers.
Would happily use again definitely recommend.

Cotswold cameras have been brilliant bought a 75/300 lens for my olympus omd-e mk 10 camera at a fantastic price the communications were good postage was fast and it was very well packed will use again

I'm amazed at this company. the best products at these prices blew me away. this is my second purchase this year and ill be sure to pass on the name when anyone asks for cameras. saved around £1000 over the 2 sales from the original link/price my boss sent me from elsewhere. very fast delivery also.

Thank you for a throughly positive experience from start to finish. This is the second time I have ordered items and I will not hesitate to use again if the need arises.

Have bought a few

Good communication and fantastic price. I was worried about the shipping timing but I needn't of as camera turned up well on time.
Very happy with my purchase.

I received my order a Nikon 180-600 lens on the 7th day and the package was well packed and was exactly as listed online I had a little problem placing my order but the where very helpful at resolving my issue (operator error)
The only thing I would say is the tracking of the order was poor and I received a text about an hour before the package arrived
I would certainly use Cotswold again

such a good experience would buy from again as it got delivered a day early had good contact.

First time buyer after being recommended by another photographer, Purchased 2 nikon p1100's, excellent quality, both camera's work great, and an absolutely brilliant price, delivery arrived within the schedule and was updated throughout, will absolutely purchase from cotswold again,many thanks

The item was delivered in good time and well packed. The price paid represented a significant saving over any other supplier yet the supplied item was authentic. The item, a Nikon Z8 body is a complex item so I am still learning the differences between it and my Z6ii. I am looking forward to learning more and I would like to thank Cotswold cameras for bringing it to within my budget.

Have used them for several fairly material purchases, and everything was smooth, save that the email communications from DPD (their chosen courier) were not ideal, but the lens turned up safe and sound and Cotswold were responsive to any queries I had.

Another smooth, easy and fast transaction from Cotswolds Cameras. This time a teleconverter. Excellent price. Ordered and received in just over a week! Outstanding.

Highly recommended service.

As always, Cotswold delivered a great item at a highly competitive price.

Brilliant delivered on time you couldn’t get better service and the camera was nearly half price

What can I say? Absolutely Fantastic!
If you're reading this, like most people here, you've been on the website, seen the too good to be true prices and thought you would look up the reviews. I did. I also emailed the company with questions they already answered in their FAQ. The response times were good and the information spot on. Got to say I was a little apprehensive due to the value of the order, however, I needn't have worried. Communication was really good throughout the delivery period. Packaging was exemplary. Even had plastic protective corners taped to the box to prevent crushing in transit. Even the inner boxes were wrapped in bubble wrap, with care and attention as though they had wrapped a present. The experience of the un boxing was fantastic. Everything just as promised.
Canon R5 mark ii and four lens'. Also took advantage of the five year Warranty.
I could not have had a better service from a local supplier. Thank you Cotswold Cameras.

This was my second purchase from Cotswold Cameras and I know it won't be my last. This time, as it was a camera body rather than just a lens, I was a little more concerned because of the camera operating language, manual, power adapter, etc. I know very well how CC obtains its items but I had faith, based on my previous experience and that of others. The price was pretty astonishing compared with current U.K. shop prices. I had two choices: buy used or buy from CC brand new, for lower than U.K. used prices! After a week and a half my new OM-1 Mark II arrived, having been given DPD notifications leading up to delivery (presumably from the point at which it arrived in the U.K.). I knew what to expect here, and nothing disappointed. The camera itself is flawless, brand new and works perfectly, so I'm very happy. The supplied charger is obviously not meant for the U.K. but CC thoughtfully supply a tiny U.K. plug adapter to be used with it, and it's absolutely fine. There's a printed manual too, but it's clearly a photocopy, in some places a little patchy, but that's quickly rectified with a download PDF from OM System. Nothing to be concerned about, and indeed CC could have just said "get your own adapter and manual" so the fact they supply both by default is a bonus. Top stuff, highly recommended.

I've never left a trust pilot review before, but I had to for Cotswold Cameras.
When I saw the prices for new cameras I thought it must be too good to be true, my Sony A7V was priced £1,000 less than MPB used options.
I emailed Cotswold cameras just for some clarification on their product sourcing, and was met with a detailed and helpful response.
I knew the shipping times would be 7-14 days, and I decided to go for it.
Within two weeks I had the camera, brand new, no issues.
The cameras are grey imports, but if you've ever bought used on eBay from Japan or outside of the UK, you're getting a similar experience. (or even buying used in-store when you're abroad)
The one downside is a new camera with no manufacturer warranty, so if that's important to you, don't buy from them. However, Cotswold Cameras also offer a warranty option.
As someone who usually buys used, often in terrible condition to save ££, a new camera at less than used price is a win win.

100% will use Cotswold Cameras again, smooth delivery, clear communication and a brand new camera.

Purchased some Nikon kit for a safari and needed to make sure it arrived asap. The Cotswold team couldn't have done better - friendly, efficient, good communication - with everything arriving in perfect condition and ahead of schedule. Great service. Highly recommended.

I'm really pleased with my purchase! It arrived in 10 working days (minus 1 🌟), packaged with care and exactly as described. I'm definitely looking forward to buying from them again.
