“Good advice, friendly service. The main point is that you can actually speak to someone who seems to know what they're talking about rather than someone who appears to have just pu on cameras that week as happens at some of the major electrical stores - no I am not trying to curry favour with you!”

“On entering the shop I was intent on making a purchase of a Canon 5D III plus two lenses. I was approached almost immediately by a member of staff which, while proves they're keen, is for me far too early. I hadn't even set eyes on the displays and already felt a bit crowded. I politely dismissed the assistant explaining that I wanted to browse first. When I decided to go for the purchase, the original assistant was tied up so I approached the manager. He was polite and helpful enough and explained about the cashback offer on the Canon lenses & camera combos. All in all, very pleased.”

“Nice and helpful staff. Good for digital requirements. I mainly shoot film so don't find much use except for straps, tripods, and the odd roll of film (more film choices and not as expensive, would be lovely.)”

“Dropped into Wilkinson Cameras in Preston to look at a new Telephoto lens for my Panasonic camera and they were very helpful. As well as looking at the lens they had a body with fully charged battery that I could attach it to and use to evaluate the it. The staff member assisting me let me take the system out into the mall where the shop is situated to test the lens and would, he said, have let me take it out at the back of the shop to use in day light but unfortunately it was raining heavily. However I decided to purchase the lens and got a good price for such a new product and a new UV filter to fit the lens as well. I can say that I am very pleased with the new lens and the service and help that I received from the shop staff, who could not do more to help assist me with my purchase, and yet at no time did I feel under any undue pressure to make a purchase. All in all a very good buying experience.”

“I cannot comment fully as have only used the camera on automatic. I need to get the hang of the settings to get better results. However, I am pleased, mostly, with my results on auto mode.”

“A bit long-winded in getting a lens posted from the Preston branch via the main branch, but got there in the end and am pleased with the product. I would deal with them again.”

“I bought a Panasonic TZ70 Lumix Leica camera, although the sales person was very helpful, I did need a camera that would produce the date to appear on the photograph. The sales person did set the camera for me including the date but it seems you are unable to add the date to the actual photograph. I have had several people look at the camera and also visited a forum and it seems it is not possible to do this even thought the instructions say you can. Therefore the camera is not much use for my work as purchased.”

Hi, http://tda.panasonic-europe-service.com/docs/2z582a1085z3z3b71bz656ez706466z23z7117a3ed54bbbe83ae434b62c84781bf2737b127/tsn3/data/ALL/DMCTZ70EB/OI/928758/sqw0206.pdf You can use the link above to download the full manual for the TZ70 camera. On page 154 it tells you how to set the time stamp on your pictures. It can be used in most modes, but this excludes iA (Intelligent Auto), Panorama and scene modes. (These modes are "greyed out" in the instruction manual to show this.) In order to have the camera choose the best shooting settings for you and have the date stamp please follow the instructions to set the date stamp and use mode "P" by turning your mode dial on the top of the camera to this letter. P or Program mode is where the camera will detect the best settings for you, including aperture, shutter speed and ISO (sensitivity to light) but allows you more control should you wish. It may disable additional features such as face recognition but shouldn't impair your images in any way compared to iA mode. It just "unlocks" some more advanced settings and in your case would allow you to add the date stamp to your pictures. We would be happy to set this up in your local store for you. If you would like to visit a store please email support@wilkinson.co.uk referencing this review reply and we'll let the store know you're coming in. If you need any more help of advice you can email us or call your local store. Thanks, Alex - Wilkinson Cameras

“We waited a while for a salesman to notice we needed help, as we were looking at the camera display and discussing the various makes and prices, but once Paul came to assist us we were happy with his help and advice. And we are happy with our purchase, as it is a Christmas present I have not had time to try it out yet.”

“I would give the service and the friendly staff a firm recommendation to anyone - there is no pressure in choosing the right equipment that is right for you, which is more than I could say for some stores that I could mention..”
