The detail in the description of the product convinced me it would work to adapt my Nikon F mount lens to the new Z 8 Nikon I had just bought. The product arrived ahead of time which was just in time... 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

Great value buying a lens from Cotswold…

Great value buying a lens from Cotswold Cameras, lowest price I could find on the internet. The brand new lens arrived within the 10-14 working days delivery promised.
No issues with courier and the item was well packed and delivered to EU address without a problem.
The customer service was excellent and very helpful, replying to questions within 24 hours.
All very satisfactory and would use again

It can always be a bit unnerving…But no need to be

It can always be a bit unnerving ordering nowadays when you see a good price. But I had a great experience with Cotswold Camera, the communication was great as I had a couple of issues on my side, the delivery was as promised and tracking was perfect.

I wouldn’t hesitate to order again

Excellent price and early delivery.

I ordered an OM5 MkII with 14-150mm lens, my third purchase from Cotswold Cameras. The delivery date range spanned a period when we’d be away. So, I asked if the delivery could be delayed to ensure we would be in to receive the delivery. Cotswold replied “ no problem”. Much to my pleasant surprise, Cotswold sent the kit by Royal Mail Special Delivery to arrive well before our trip. Excellent, professional service. Thank you.

Great value and service

Another great experience with Cotswold Cameras.
Camera and lens arrived just into the expected time envelope, registered with OM Systems for the extended warranty.
What a camera the OM-3 is. I've barely scratched the surface figuratively speaking, but already loving the built in ND filters. The quality of photos are fantastic, matched with the 12-45mm I am really impressed with the sensor.
Sold my Canon 6D mk2 and really wasn't convinced I was doing the right thing.
I am now.

Pounds saved …

An excellent price compared with other retailers and rrp.
A good email conversation with David because their website wasn’t showing Sony products. He gave me a direct link to purchase x2 teleconverter.
I’ve not used it yet but hope to soon.

Absolutely brilliant service provided by David, camera purchased at last minute before a trip and David assisted with arranging a swift delivery which actually saw the camera arrive a day before expected. Best pricing on the market too - will be back to purchase again ! 5 star service

I can say without hesitation that all my questions and enquiries where dealt with professionally and promptly. I am hugely impressed with Cotswold Cameras, the staff are superb. I will not hesitate to buy from them again.

Was a bit apprehensive about purchasing through Cotswold Cameras but have to say everything went as hoped and to their promise.
Camera arrived earlier than expected and 100% perfect.
Would buy again from them and many thanks to them for saving me a fair bit of cash.

Glad to have taken the punt!

Read the reviews and took what felt like the plunge but turned out really well.

Order confirmation and updates were good and communication with David at cotswold cameras was quick and helpful.

Had a bit of a delay getting the parcel from DPD but that’s not Cotswold’s fault, and when I did get it everything was packaged well - seal broken on the box as advertised on the site for quality checks, but everything in great working order and for a fraction of the price of other sellers.

Will definitely be using again for my next purchase, order was out for delivery after 8 working days and ended up receiving it within 2 weeks of order date.

Absolutely Brilliant

Absolutely Brilliant

I have ordered a number of cameras and lenses from Cotswolds Cameras over the past couple of years and they have always offered unbeatable value and exemplary service.

Just one example of how they go “over-and-beyond” is the way that they meticulously box and package items. Most retailers would just simply place an item in a flimsy generic cardboard box and stuff some brown paper around the insides, meaning that in transit the item has little protection from being thrown around inside the box, being squashed and/or offering little protection if exposed to the wet. Cotswold Cameras carefully wrap the item in bubble wrap, then make a bespoke box that exactly fits the item using double reinforced cardboard, then places reinforcement protection to every corner, and then finally tape the box in its entirety ensuring that it is completely water tight; thus, resulting in an item that is delivered in absolute pristine condition.

They are my go-to first choice camera/lens retailer and I highly recommend them.

Great service as always

Quick delivery, high quality lens for an unmatchable price and good communication from the shop too. I have bought from these guys on several occasions and never been disappointed.

Far better experience than expected

I usually work on the premise that what looks too good to be true most probably is too good to be true but how wrong was I. Ordering and receiving my new OM systems 75/300 lens could not have been easier, and the price well that was the biggest surprise as it was far cheaper than anything near new condition even second hand. What I expected was a white box product but no. A brand new OM Systems boxed lens turned up within the 10 to 14 day delivery period with clear communication of the order delivery process to boot. Will I be using them again. Well it would be rude not to just need to save a few more pennies for the camera I have got my eye on at a £1000 plus saving.

As always a good service, the equipment is always genuine and the price a lot lower. Delivered, in my case, by DPD. I never use anyone else for camera stuff. I would recommend Cotswolds Cameras
