Brilliant service and advice. I’m a newbie to photography and Owen let me exchange a lens where I had bought the wrong type … More for my needs. No hard sales tactics, listened to me patiently without being condescending which as a newbie was so helpful and gave me confidence in what I was asking for. Thank you! -

The shop caters to both film and digital enthusiasts and everything he stocks is high quality which means that you can never go wrong. Service is prompt and friendly. Thank you for making me enjoy photography again! -

Campkins staff offer absolutely the BEST customer service ever! I like to support independent businesses as much as I can. … More Ten days ago I ordered a new compact camera from their online store, letting them know that I needed it by 25 August. Late yesterday afternoon there was a knock at my door and a Campkins staff member said "Hello, we thought we'd give you a personal delivery service so you definitely get it on time!" I was amazed, what a lovely thoughtful gesture. Then he added "And we've got a choice of two cameras for you - the one you ordered, or the next model up with a better zoom but a damaged cardboard box." I said yes please to the 2nd one and asked if he lived locally and was on his way home, dropping it off on his way but he said no, he lived the other side of Cambridge, 13 miles away, and this was a special trip! Absolutely wonderful customer service. Thank you very much Campkins Cameras!
