Being in the market for a used Nikon D750 camera stumbled across a suitability priced model. Item ordered, when I received numerous emails keeping me up to date with deliver, and proof of purchase. Arrived in 2 days. Very happy with email response to a queries. Also 12 months warranty providing peace of mind. Full marks for their service.

I was after a good spec compact to have in my back pocket for general day to day use, when I don't want to take my bulky DSLR out. Found this on Wilkinson's site at my price point. Camera arrived really quickly and in a well wrapped/cared for package. Taken it out for a couple of test runs and very happy with my purchase.

I’d tracked your shop down as I’m not from Southport and was just there for the weekend and needed an extra roll of film. Finding you was easy and it was such a joy to shop with you. Too often I find going in to a random shop and asking specific questions draws a blank response. But you not only knew your subject well, you were also knowledgable about my specific questions, friendly and enthusiastic. This is a rare quality and I appreciated it. So much so that I spent way more than I had originally intended to. The camera that I showed you is my Kodak Duaflex II. Nothing particularly rare but pretty cool all the same. I was given it by a friend who was literally going to throw it away. My challenge (as a grunge image maker) is finding the right film to fit. So, when Alex showed me your cabinet of film stock I was amazed to see not one but two rolls being offered at a terrific price, along with an equally rare type of 35mm film that was also at a great price, which I also had to buy. Altogether a wonderful and unexpected shopping experience.

I got the wrong model of the camera I ordered but I called the team and they handled it pretty quickly, unfortunately what I wanted was out of stock but I appreciate how swiftly the team got back to me, I have now returned the camera.

Joe and co-workers at Carlisle are superb! Well briefed on products yet don't "oversell" which counts for a lot. They have proved helpful with issues I am inept at like installing firmware updates on my Nikon. A refreshing change in after sales service which isn't present with on-line only companies. Very happy to recommend and continue using.

I bought a MagMod basic kit and I absolutely love it! Expensive? Yeah but who cares when you need good equipment attached to your camera when you are in a rush? I also love Wilkinson’s customer service and delivery times! Just wonderful! Thanks!

The product itself was fine, no problems there. The packing however was disgusting. I will attach pictures below of the package beaten and broken. I’m extremely surprised the product wasn’t damaged. I won’t be buying from you again due to this reason.

Hi Samuel, It's great to hear that your parcel arrived in perfect condition despite clearly being mishandled in transit. We can see from the "resealed by DPD" tape across the parcel that this has been thrown about or possibly even caught up in machinery within the DPD system. This is why we pack our parcels so well and include lots of filler and protection - to ensure that they can withstand the abuse they receive between leaving us and reaching you. We're a bit sad to hear that you won't shop with us again when the courier has let us down, but we've still ensured your item arrived with you safely! We hope you enjoy using your new item and maybe you'll reconsider shopping with us again in future. All the best, Wilkinson Cameras

Camera arrived quickly, safely packed, with secure delivery. Used Sony a6500 seemed in very good condition, no external marks, everything works smoothly. Tested indoors and outdoors with 28-200 lens; first pictures very good quality. 12-month warranty reassuring. Very good service.

Joe in Carlisle branch was very helpful as I had bought some 2nd hand cameras, from another shop; he looked at them for me. With his report I returned them and purchased a used Nikon from Wilkinsons with a 12 month warranty. It’s lovely.

As a 'newbie' amateur photographer, the availability of pre-owned cameras and lenses etc with meticulous and trusted descriptions-and a gaurantee-has been really ideal. Great service!

I was looking for a replacement for my Sony Cybershot camera that had stopped working after several years of use. I looked at several alternatives online, but was still undecided after reading lots of reviews. One phone call to a very helpful chap at Wilkinson Cameras enabled me to choose exactly the right one for my needs. I needed a camera small enough to slip into a pocket, good zoom for taking wildlife photos, ideally good macro for taking insect photos and the ability to use on manual as well as auto. Living in a rural area, I miss so many great photo opportunities at times when I can't carry lots of kit with me, so having a small but versatile camera to hand is a must. The Panasonic TZ95 fitted the bill and was available as a bundle with case, memory card and mini tripod, which meant I got even better value for my money. It arrived the next day and, after patiently waiting for the battery to charge up, I took a few quick sample photos to check the camera was working ok. I was absolutely delighted with the ease of use of the camera and the quality of photos it produced. Although you can use it completely on auto, there are lots of different really useful settings so I'm going to make sure I spend time familiarising myself with the manual so that I can make the most of everything this little marvel can do.

I recently bought a used Fujifilm X Pro 2 and was very impressed by the quality of the camera and the speed of service. I have already made a second purchase of a new lens, confident in the knowledge that the goods will be excellent and that I will be updated regularly on my order status.
