Great value on a wide selection of lenses and cameras. The best place on the net. I was a little bit worried at the beginning because of the prices compared to Italian market. Communication was wonder... See more

Two things from CC and more than happy
I've now bought two things from CC and am more than satisfied. In the latest case, my camera shutter died unexpectedly and I was told it was beyond economic repair. My imminent photography-based holiday was therefore ruined.
I bought a replacement right away from CC and they were able to expedite shipping, getting it to me so I could still go away.
The Item arrived very well packaged and new.
The Item arrived very well packaged and exactly as described brand new. It works perfectly and the price is unbeatable. I trusted them as I'm a returning client. For a first time buyer it could be a little awkward as there is not too much information about the status of the order. My order arrived earlier than expected. Highly recommend them.
Positive First Experience
I was initially quite suspicious because the lens was listed for around 43% less than what I was seeing elsewhere. It honestly seemed too good to be true.
Before ordering, I checked Trustpilot and saw that Cotswold Cameras had an excellent 4.9/5 rating, which gave me more confidence. I also emailed them twice with a couple of questions and received helpful replies within two working days.
I decided to place the order and, after about seven days, the lens arrived exactly as described and in perfect condition.
The entire process went smoothly from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Communication was good, everything was delivered as promised, and the experience matched the excellent reputation they have built.
The only thing I would like to see is a faster delivery option for customers who are happy to pay extra for it. Other than that, I would happily buy from them again.
Brilliant online camera store
Superb company, great service and prices. Quick delivery via dpd. Highly recommended for camera equipment.
Great service.......Great prices
Ordered a new "long" lens for my Canon EOS after searching the Internet for a good price. I was pleasantly surprised with the price offered and with the service I received. The product arrived within the quoted timescale in perfect condition even though I was concerned when DPD delivered it in a damaged box, luckily thanks to expert packaging the actual box containing the lens was untouched. Originally I was a bit apprehensive about ordering from a company I hadn't heard of but after reading the reviews I was reassured and I would recommend anyone looking for camera gear at a great price to give them a go !!
First class
First class. I will definately be using Cotswold again. Great prices, they keep you informed throughout, delivery well within my expectations.
Good Price but Delivery takes a while.
I was pleased to find the camera I was searching for at a very good discounted price. Of course there are compromises when you get such a saving and in this case it was delivery time. This was no "next day" Amazon style service, with a 10 day or so promised delivery. There was a mix up (at my end) with payment and I was disappointed that it wasn't possible to telephone to resolve it. However, we communicated by email and the problem was fixed. Delivery was made within the specified time.
Overall I would love better communication, rather than waiting for a response to an email, but at that price I have no real complaints. I'm happy to recommend them.

Absolute spot on customer service. Reply to email query quickly. Items sent in good time. Lenses and camera perfect working order after over a year.
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.
Excellent service
Excellent service. Great communication and outstanding prices. Well done all round.
Absolutely brilliant service provided…
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
