I ordered the Canon EL-1 flash which…
I ordered the Canon EL-1 flash which pro camera said they had in stock on their website. One day delivery (apparently) After 10 days with no delivery I emailed their ‘customer support’ - got a response from Phil saying my delivery would be with me the following Friday (with no apology) - the following Friday rolls round, with no delivery. To which, when I emailed again, he said it’d be with me ‘next week’…after asking for a tracking number and whether it would be sent to me, I got no response. Another week comes round and I question why, on the website, it says next day delivery and nearly 3 weeks later I STILL don’t have my order, he just replies that they don’t have it in stock and offers a refund. To which I accept, and ask when the money will return to my account (as I’ll need it to purchase the flash elsewhere) He replies, ‘you’ll see it when it comes back into your bank account’. The refund came through 3 days later - but overall I lost a month on this website without my purchased item - after all they took my money in the first place and never sent me the item. BUYERS BEWARE - Don’t purchase anything from this website. An absolute joke with terrible customer service. I never write reviews but have found myself compelled to do so from such a terrible experience. I look forward to their reply and how they try and excuse theirselves for such awful service.

We acknowledge that the fulfilment of this order fell below the standard we aim to provide, particularly regarding the timescale and communication.
Unfortunately, we were ultimately unable to supply the item. Once this was established, the cancellation was accepted and a full refund was processed back to the customer.
We have since made improvements to our stock management, customer communication and order-handling procedures to help prevent similar situations.
Kind regards,
Pro-Camera Customer Service Team
Would buy from these again
A friend in the industry recommended Pro Camera to me, as that is where he buys all his camera kits from. And now I can see why! Excellent service from start to finish, fast delivery, and perfectly packaged up.

Excellent service from Pro-camera
Excellent service from Pro-camera. Needed a camera to take professional photos of my air BnB business and found Pro-Camera’s service to be top notch. The advice given was first class and I received a professional camera next day within my budget and perfect for the job. The Canon EOS R7 kit I bought takes fantastic photos a d shows off my property perfectly. Would definitely recommend.

Very poor
Not good, was promised a next day delivery, which was time critical. After a lot of messaging was told the camera would take a week to come. No refund, taking to a CC Dispute. I would avoid at all costs

5* service and Product
Was a bit dubious about placing an order with Pro camera as l saw a few negative reviews and that they seemed to be trading under several different names but from the same address?
But as they were the only ones with the lenses in stock and at a good price l took the risk and paid by PayPal credit card to give myself that bit of protection and it also gave me a £20.00 discount off the price.
I am happy to say that the transaction was perfect from start to finish, the lenses arrived the very next day at 8:15 in the morning as advised by the courier. The lenses was well packaged and in its sealed manufacturers box and in perfect condition and l am more than happy with the whole experience and based on my experience l would not hesitant to use Pro Camera again in the future.
5* 👍

Canon zoom lens
Ordered a Canon 8 - 15 mm zoom lens which was allegedly in stock. First delivery promise missed and I am now waiting until tomorrow before I take up the problem with Mastercard and demand a full refund. Oh how I wish I'd checked the reviews before ordering! 2nd promise also missed. No satisfactory explanation why goods were shown on website as being in stock which was confirmed by email before I placed the order. I have now cancelled the order and have been 'promised' a refund within 3 working days. Is there not some rule applied by credit card companies which states that no funds must be taken unless the goods are in stock and ready for immediate despatch?

My Fujifilm X100F developed a fault…
My Fujifilm X100F developed a fault with the lens movement in its second year of use. I contacted Mike at Pro Camera under the terms of their extended warranty. Without seeing the camera, he declared that my use of an approved lens hood on the camera was the reason for the failure and voided their guarantee. The camera was repaired, efficiently, at my own expense by Fuji who confirmed that the use of the lens hood had nothing to do with the failure of the lens mechanism. Unsurprisingly, Pro Camera would not entertain refunding the repair costs. Their 2 year extended warranty is worthless.
I note Pro Camera's confident response which must be based on extra sensory perception.

Pro lens number 2
Just bought my second 'pro' lens from Pro-Camera. The Nikon 24 - 70mm f2.8 isn't a cheap lens, but it's cheaper here than anywhere else I know of. The other lens I bought a while back from these guys is the Nikon 14 - 24mm f2.8.
Both of these arrived in perfect condition. Although the first lens took a while to arrive, the second lens took only a few days.
I'm very pleased with my lenses and will definitely buy again from this company.
I now need to start saving up for the Nikon 70 - 200mm f2.8.
Great job guys!

Good Service
It's very easy to write a poor review from the anonymity of a keyboard. I have only ever had good experiences when dealing with Pro Camera. I ordered a Fuji 16-80 lens on the 13th March - Saturday and it promptly arrived on the 17th by DPD Local. No issues with the lens so far and all seems to be working correctly.

I brought a backup Zoom for my Sony A9 , the tamron 70-180mm . I'm always cautious about online sites but they always picked up the phone and were really nice to deal with . The package was a day late ( Covid delivery backup) but they emailed me with the revised delivery date straight away and it turned up 9.30 am the next day.

Bought a new Camera, delivered next day - perfect!
Paid for a Canon 80D new and received it the next morning. The camera is perfectly new and a UK model too - (I entered the serials into the Canon registration site to make sure it was not a 'grey import'.)
I had concerns after reading some reviews on trustpilot but I can say this was a genuine transaction and I am quite happy. New UK-model camera exactly as advertised.
It is a 2016 model camera and the battery was completely flat when I got it, which worried me as some recharables don't like being fully discharged, but it has charged up OK. (I guess this stock has been sitting a while.)
In conclusion: very happy. The item is exactly as advertised. And next day delivery surprised me as it was free.

REDUCED WARRANTY
I have been reading the reviews on Pro-Camera and on the whole they are good. I am looking at a Tamron lens on their site and Tamron give a 5 year warranty were as Pro-Camera only offer a 2 year warranty. Food for thought, is additional 3 years warranty better than their discount?

We appreciate you raising the question regarding the warranty offered on our Tamron lenses.
For clarity, the warranty supplied with photographic equipment can vary depending on the particular product, distribution channel and warranty terms applicable at the time of purchase. Pro-Camera clearly states the warranty supplied with each product so customers can make an informed decision before ordering.
Our pricing reflects the complete package we offer, including the product, warranty and customer support, and we always encourage customers to compare both price and warranty terms when making their decision.
We are pleased that, overall, you found the reviews of Pro-Camera positive and appreciate you considering us for your Tamron lens purchase.
