Pre-ordered the new Sony RX10V when it was announced. Updates were clear & the camera was available as advertised. The transaction was completed easily and the camera was dispatched promptly. First impressions are that the camera is superb, looking forward to giving it a thorough test on a wildlife trip to Wales early next month. Great service as usual from LCE. Thank you.
Informative, helpful, warm and trustworthy.
I’ve had a good relationship with LCE Southampton for around a year. And have to say that the staff, the service, and sense of community i have always found exceptional. O would certainly recommend them.
Easy purchase
Easy purchase, speedy delivery and kept informed along the way. Would definitely use LCE again.

Amazing service from the Southampton London Camera Exchange, as someone that is new to photography they were so warm and friendly providing me with lots of helpful information and advice about products and services that are all very new to me. I also love the fact they organise many events and walks that enable you to meet and learn from other photography enthusiasts. First class service!
Lens Connector Order
My purchase was a small part of my new camera system. Even though it was a minor part, the order was acknowledged ,and I was kept updated as to it’s progress.It actually arrived early. thanks.
Right items, right price, fast delivery.
LCE had the new items I wanted in stock at a good price. This, combined with speedy delivery, was a winning combination.
Free events with the LCE in Southampton
This time we went in a photo walk arranged by LCE in Southampton High Street in partnership with SCUL. It’s great that they arrange these free events. I always find the team in the High Street branch, knowledgeable helpful and super friendly. This is a great place to find the camera gear you want with plenty of help to ensure you choose the right kit for you
Great service delivered on time.

5-Star Experience
Overall a great experience. Very welcoming atmosphere and staff, who were very knowledgeable and keen to help. Big thank you to Benny for his assistance. Would highly recommend.
Always great service
I’ve been a customer of LCE since the 90’s, and always get great service from the Southampton High Street branch.
A couple of years go, Paul provided great service when I traded in my old Sony A6000 for the A6700 and a new lens.
This past weekend, at a “Coffee and Cameras” event involving Manfrotto, Marc provided great service and a good deal on a new tripod. It wasn’t in stock, but I was able to collect it today (they did offer to post, but I had the afternoon free).
Everyone is always up for a chat, and there are various events throughout the year, including photo walks and demo days.
