We bought binoculars from Clifton Cameras and had excellent help and advice from the staff. When a fault occurred on the binoculars it was resolved quickly and efficiently.
The staff we have dealt with have all been friendly and efficient.

Ordered on line Saturday 12.15. Delivered to me by DPD Sunday 14.15.
Perfectly packaged, condition to my fussy eyes, is as new.
No individual names to congratulate, so well done Clifton Cameras and DPD

Updated to 5* following very helpful and meaningful reply, along with helpful sales person. Thank you.
Clifton Cameras had a Swarovski In Store Day with advertised exclusive offers on the day. I called before-hand and asked for an idea of what the offers might be. I was told that, at the time of calling (just 2 days beforehand), they did not know what the offers would be. Nevertheless, they undertook to return my call as soon as the offers were known - which may have been as late as the In Store Day itself. I never received a call. This is disappointing customer service towards someone looking to spend a lot of money.

A great day at the Swarovski Optik Day in Clifton Cameras Cheltenham store 18/03/26.
Really looked after by all the staff at Cliftons & the Swarovski rep too.
Tried out Swarovski Bino's & Spotting Scopes etc discussing various views based on both sides thoughts.
Great help & assistance from a really professional set up.

I was apprehensive about moving from DSLR to Mirrorless, primarily caused by age-related issues telling me to reduce the weight of my kit!
I checked options within my budget on the Clifton Cameras website, plus reviews and a blog written after they’d tested the kit I’d identified before emailing for advice.
Safia quickly replied, agreeing the kit I was considering was a good choice and one that would suit my circumstances and photography interests.
She also advised on the correct interface cable and lens hood and suggested that some of the generic ones on the market (rather than the more expensive branded ones) made good economic sense.
Purchasing online was simple, as was arranging payment.
Safia also telephoned the next morning to ask if I needed any further assistance as my kit was being dispatched later that day.
It was delivered the following day at the time indicated by the courier and using secure means.
It’s easy to leave reviews for companies immediately after a purchase (and usually at their own prompting), but I prefer to wait a short while to test delivery and to feel comfortable with a company should I need any after-sales assistance. Will a company be there for you if you need advice or have a problem?
It’s becoming increasingly difficult nowadays to find customer-centric companies staffed by empathetic, helpful and knowledgeable individuals, but Clifton Cameras fits the bill. And as I’ll be purchasing another lens for my new kit in the future, Clifton Cameras will be my company of choice.
And my thanks to Safia and all at Clifton Cameras.

I've bought a lot of high end gear from Clifton over the years and they've always treated me well. Today, Will was no exception and went above and beyond to help me help with price matching and quickly resolving a software glitch when checking out.
I wouldn't shop anywhere else.

Looked at some used lenses for Canon, ordered on line, got call from Safia to check all sorted, arrived within 24 hours. Absolutely like new and price was cheapest by a mile but the service received was first class. Massive thanks

I really enjoyed going on this photowalk at Bourton on the Water with Clifton Cameras and Fujifilm. The day was relaxed and informative and there was a whole wide range of Fujifilm equipment available to try out! I spent the whole day shooting with a wide variety of lenses that I wanted to try out on my camera, and it has really helped to shape my ideas for what I want to buy next. It is interesting that the lens I was most thinking of is not actually the one I will buy now that I have tried it! It is so good that Clifton are offering this practical hands on experience in the field - they are definitely the ones I go to for advice about my photography choices! Thank you Clifton!

I purchased a lens on a Friday at a great price. The listing stated that the store was awaiting stock and that I could take up to 5 business days to recieve the item. For the price I felt like that was very reasonable.
Saturday rolled around and I had a phone call from a lovely lady who just wanted to make sure that I was aware of the delay, on a Saturday of all days... this kind of service is unheard of. The lady told me that she couldn't do anything until monday and I had no issues with that at all.
Sunday rolled around and I'm not sure what happened, but I had an email to say that DPD already had my parcel and they were planning to deliver it next day. Surley enough Monday rolled around and it was at my door, around mid day! What service! I can see why the trustpilot score is so high.
Thank you so much! Will deffinitely use again :)

Recently bought a telescope with Clifton Cameras. Arrived within a couple of days, as stated. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the equipment. But the prompt resolution and contact from the store to keep me updated was very much appreciated. Will definitely be using them again in the future.

I found Clifton Cameras through their partnership with the Centre of Aviation Photography (COAP) Online. I’ve since bought from them a few times, both in person and online. Every time the service has been excellent.
Most recently, I upgraded to the OM System OM-1 Mark II. In the aviation photography genre, generic product specification pages don't tell the whole story. Nor does holding the camera in the store. It really helped to discuss the experience that Aled (who looked after my order) had while shooting with the same camera I was about to buy. No one else is doing this for the aviation market, and it makes a huge difference because manufacturers generally don’t show many aviation test images either.
I also had to make an enquiry to their sales team for a copy of my sales receipt. They were more than helpful and responsive, so I could easily claim the manufacturer's cashback.
If you are an aviation photographer looking for a retailer who understands the specific needs of our niche, then the Clifton Cameras team are the people to talk to.

Second time dealing with Clifton Cameras. Second time I've loved the experience.
Last time it was an OM systems OM3, this time a Billingham bag.
Bag arrived next day, it's perfect too. Love it
