Nice to buy from a high street shop with knowledgeable staff.

I wanted a small, adjustable tripod for mounting a laser level. The Slik GX Mini Tripod with Three-Way Head (FJ28727) did not disappoint. The product is well-made and includes thoughtful design details that reduce the frustration of accurate setup. I looked online and found that Castle Cameras (Salisbury) had several options available. The staff in the shop were exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. It was so nice to go into a high street shop that was well stocked with interesting 'things' and to talk to staff who were obviously fully engaged with the product ranges and helping the customer make the right choice.

Online order for aThinkTank camera bag

I placed an order for aThinkTank camera bag with Castle Cameras. The entire process from browsing their website, submitting the order and receiving my camera bag a few days later was seamless and hassle free. Excellent communication kept me informed of the progress of my order and I was updated when my package was dispatched and when I should expect it. A further update on the day advised of the 1 hour delivery slot with DPD. Overall I’m extremely happy with the service I received from Castle Cameras and would recommend them enthusiastically.

Nikon P7 Purchase

I did my research and decided to buy a pair of Nikon P7 8x42 binoculars. For some reason these are currently very hard to find new. Came across Castle cameras, their site had them on offer and in stock. A quick call and I secured the last pair. Next day delivery was exactly that and they were well packed. Great service, got a call back when I enquired on chat initially.

Genuine business with helpful and diligent staff

I ordered a part on a Friday night but realized that I'd ordered the wrong part. I called them first thing on Saturday morning and they'd already got my order ready for dispatch. However once I explained they went straight away to intercept it and then cancel the order and refunded. Genuine business with very diligent staff.

The binoculars were well packed and arrived quickly - they were used as described, but in excellent condition - I had to phone Castle Cameras up to resolve a small problem, they were very polite and helpful. Very pleased with my purchase - plus they have 6 months warranty!

Great service & advise

I emailed Castle Cameras in Bournemouth about purchasing a pair of binoculars, I received a very quick response & was asked to come in & try. After some very good advise about binoculars & cameras, I purchased the binoculars & ordered a new camera. A very good experience all round & would definitely buy again from them & recommend

Outstanding service!

I bought a used lens. Excellent from point of order to delivery. Communication was perfect and the lens was exactly as described - in fact it looked brand new, supplied in original box with bag and even instructions. This was my first purchase from Castle Cameras and it won't be my last.

Batteries

Love to shop local and Castle Camera are always fantastic to deal with. I just needed to renew some aging batteries for my trusty Canon and pleased to be able to get them without using a big multinational company to supply them for me. Thanks Team!

Ordered Sigma lens without difficulty and delivery was even quicker than expected. Needed to telephone because email with invoice didn't arrive. Gentleman I spoke with was most helpful - we located the paper copy sealed on the outside of the package!!! He did say there had been email problems so I hope they're resolved. All in all, outstanding service. Graeme Clarke

There is NO substitute for face-to-face human expertise, especially when wrapped in 'good character'. The transaction - buying the camera gear - is professional, but the customer's experience is personable - and that is the difference that makes a difference and why I keep going back.

The staff are well informed and genuinely excited about photography and cameras. There’s a wide range of accessories and lots to look at, there prices are very fair. I would highly recommend recommending coming in to the store and buying local rather than buying products online with wonky warranties 👍

Fast delivery of lens

I ordered a lens, teleconverter and protection filter on Wednesday evening and, despite just opting for the standard delivery option, they were all delivered by Friday lunchtime. They were well packed so no worries about anything getting damaged in transit.

A PROPER Camera shop who really know their stuff

Thanks to some fantastic guidance and advice over the telephone I was able to get some amazing pictures of the recent eclipse. I didn't even need to visit the store and they sent my purchase via next day delivery for a very reasonable fee.

Good delivery and price after a few issues with payment

After a few issues with payment on their website, everything went smoothly. Not clear before hand that Amex wasn't accepted. Item delivered very well packaged and was delivered next day.
