Great service and very competitive price

I ordered a 550D body which I knew was out of stock being so new. My card was only charged when the camera was in stock and it arrived the next day with a free 3 year guarantee, camera case, desktop tripod and 2 4GB class 6 SD cards.

What a great company to deal with.

I ordered my camcorder on the Tuesday evening about 10pm. It arrived by 10am on Thursday. On Wednesday I was given a tracking number by email and was able to track the parcel easily. This must be one of the best (if not the best) companys I have ever delt with on the internet. Everything was as described on the easy to follow web page, with great prices and great communications this is the company to use. Thanks for a very easy transaction.

Excellent all round

Purchased a FinepixZ33WP. Surfed around and Best Cameras gave a great deal and a good bundle with the camera. Easy site to make the order and the goods arrive within a few days by courier. E-mail from Best Cameras confirmed order and gave package tracking details so the whole event was managed by them impeccably. Highly recommended.

Excellent service

After a lot of research I ordered a Kx Camera and lenses from this company. They are UK based and sell UK stock at a competitive price. The items arrived next day with really good free gifts of camera case, spare batteries, charger and 8GB memory card. All high quality gifts. You can ask more than that!
Highly recommend them.

Very fast delivery, excellent service, very good price

They had a camera+lense bundle that exactly suited my wants, including useful freebies (card, case) at an extremely attractive price.

I phoned to check if it was in stock and then ordered online (since the person answering my call said this was the quickest option). They received my order at 12.30 and the fax certifying the delivery address at 15.00. An hour later I had an email confirming the dispatch and the packet was delivered on the next day (to Scotland!).

Packaging was good & secure and everything arrived in perfect condition.

In a word: EXCELLENT!

Excellent Service

I ordered the camera I wanted and received an email back saying it was out of stock and to let them know if I wanted an alternative. As I wanted the camera I'd ordered, I didn't respond. I received an email a couple of days later to say that my order had been despatched that day, and I received it the following morning. As I had fully expected to have to wait a while for the camera to be back in stock, I was really amazed at the speed it arrived. I would definitely recommend Bestcameras to family and friends and will purchase from them again myself.

Excellent service!

I ordered a Panasonic Lumix FZ38 camera last Wednesday, but was alarmed
to receive an email within a few minutes, saying it was out of stock, but
expected on Thursday. I need not have worried, because I had a further
email on Thursday confirming that it had arrived from Panasonic, and would
be despatched in the next consignment. Just after 12 noon on Friday, it
was delivered by Citylink, and I am delighted with my initial test results.
I would challenge any company to beat this service! My previous order
about a year ago, was just as good. Thoroughly recommended!

Simply the Best

This has got to be the best company I have ever dealt with in every way. The price was the best by a mile add to this all the extra's given and even after I had placed my order and a new improved offer came out they added the extra battery without being asked. My purchase arrived exactly when they said it would and carriage free.I will definitely recommend them to all my friends and use again whenever I can.

Honest reliable Service

Very helpful and an honest response of colour availability from manufacturer due to severe weather conditions. This was in comparison to other websites on stock availability who offered rather vague responses. I reckon the most competitive package price available for my red Luminix G1 including free delivery

Excellent service

Ordering items for Christmas a few days before is always risky; will the items be in stock and will they be delivered on time? With Best Cameras I need not have worried. When I placed my order, within a couple of hours there was an email response telling me that the items were out of stock. However a call to Best Cameras reassured me that the items would be back in stock on the following Monday, 21 December, and they would be immediately despatched. They were and they arrived on 22nd. Well done!

Very quick service and a good deal

After researching a number of websites for the best deal for the Panasonic SDR-H80, I discovered this site. I was quite tempted to buy from reliable Amazon for £229, but for an extra tenner they had a deal which meant I got a free 32gb memory card, free Panasonic camera case and tripod. Not only that, but it was free next day delivery and it arrived on time. So far I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and would definitely use bestcameras.co.uk again.

Highly Recommended

Was quite wary of ordering from this site reading some of the reviews on other websites. However they do have the camera I wanted Lumix GH1, for cheaper than anywhere I've seen.

I emailed them up to make sure i they had the camera in stock, they got back to me within 20 mins and said they did. I made the order late afternoon on Monday, camera arrived on Wednesday. They were cheaper than all the places I found online, and had a bargain deal with included a great package.

I would highly recommend, perfect transaction.

Thanks again

The BEST Shopping Experience

I can not praise the service enough, it was excellent. Everything from communication, Web site, delivery and most of all the excellent value for money on offical UK stock camera.
The added extras like, expensive accessories, 3 year guarantee, camera case and table tripod, included with a discounted price as well.
I've purchased many cameras and camcorders from many companys worldwide and this has to be the best so far. Well done BESTCAMERAS

Excellent Service

Communication was excellent. The camera was not in stock the day I ordered (a Friday) but I was immediately notified and asked if I wanted to look at an alternative. I declined as I wasn't in a major hurry. On the following Monday I was emailed and informed my camera was in and was being shipped. I asked them to delay the shipment until Thursday so that someone would be in to receive it on the friday. This was no problem to them and it duly arrived as arranged. On top of that the value was great. Highly recommended, great service

Great Advice. Excellent Service

Hi, I'd just like to pass on my thanks to you guys. Having spoken to John before Christmas about the Panasonic G1. I got great help and advice.
Reserved one, and picked it up on the 23rd. In the shop great service too.
Rob was very helpful and polite. The icing on the cake was that Helen (my
wife) loves the camera. We'll be back. Thanks BestCameras. and Happy New Year Tony

Great Service

A Pentax Camera bundle plus extras ordered on a Sunday afternoon and in my hands on Tuesday morning. All complete and in working order at an excellent price that, at that time could not be matched by any other e-sales dealer I reviewed. Great stuff keep it up and I will come back to you in the future. It is just fantastic to find a dealer with such good pricing that doesn't have to be chased for the order or have problems with an incomplete order upon arrival.

We ordered a JVC Picsio GC FM1 Digital Video Camera as a present. As well as the camera....a tripod, a case, an SD card and next day insured delivery were included too, all for the same price a national retailer wanted for the camera alone. Great deal, great delivery, great shop. On the basis of this experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.

Review with a Smile :-)

I have been looking for a Fuji FinePix Camera for my boyfriend for a couple of weeks, after looking online numberous times I came across this site.

What can I say, what a pleasure. They had a good choice of cameras to choose from plus the price was the cheapest I had seen AND it came with a camera pouch plus a tripod....my exact words was WOW!! and not forgetting the P&P was included with the price (or if you want to say FREE).

I placed the order and within 3 days I had the camera in my home. What a nice camera etc it is.

I would recommend this site to all. I have even kept this one as my favourites. The company are very professional in all there endeavours. AAA++++++ for service, price, delivery and what ever else I may have forgotten at this moment.

If you are not sure what you are looking for then I would suggest you phone them for their advice, that is what there for. Good Luck and Happy Shopping.

Once again I turned to Best Cameras for advice on what type and make of small digital camera to purchase. I wanted a small lightweight digital to slip in my pocket as a back up for my Nikon D80. The telephone advice given by "Robbie" was excellent and just what I required. On his recommendation I purchased a Fuji J30 which meets all my requirements.
Delivery was incredible with all the snow and ice I placed the order at 11.45am on the 13th January and I received the camera in Reading at 4.45pm on the following day.
This is now my 4th.Camera purchase from Best Cameras (They were not all for me).
I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone, they are excellent.

Outstandingly fast service

I ordered a Canon HV40 Legria HD Camcorder from Bestcameras over the phone at about 4 oclock in the afternoon. It arrived the very next morning. Well packaged. I have never had anything arrive so quickly and I live in Essex and they are on Merseyside. Also the advice I was given over the phone about the camera was from someone who was very knowledgeable about the product. I've been a photogrpaher for over 30 years and you get to know who is telling you facts and those who give you bullsh1t. So that's why I gave this company a five star rating. There are a lot of chancers out there today. Buying something is a different experience to what it was 30 years ago.
