Camera upgrade

I've been considering an upgrade to my Canon camera for some time. With so much available on-line and new offers every week I opted for in person service, I like to see who I'm buying from. It's quite big decision but you get straightforward advice, no pressure and not at all pushy - you can see and feel the equipment. Good trade in values on my old kit and all concluded with minimal fuss. I have no hesitation in recommending them. I know that if I have any issues they're just down the road and will help me out.

I had a problem with my OM 1 mkii
They thought it was a software issue.
They spent time sorting this for me.
And charger for what they did.
That's what you call great service.
Many many thanks

Always top notch service throughout, super quick delivery, with items very well packaged and at very competitive prices.
This is not a one off experience, having bought from several branches, the service is always the same.
Many thanks,

Great advice and gave us loads of time

James was very helpful and knowledgeable and took time, on a busy Saturday, to understand my daughter’s needs when buying her first camera and we didn’t have a clue. And no pressure which was a relief!

Amazing store

Amazing store! I exchanged two of my Canon FD lenses for a discount on a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8, and the whole process was really straightforward. James replied to my email, we arranged a date for the exchange, and he was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout. Highly recommended!

I have purchased from LCE on numerous occasions and I can honestly say that each time it has been a success. Items are well photographed ( would be nice to zoom in) , descriptions are consistent, prices are competitive and communication/delivery are quick and efficient. All in all I can highly recommend this retailer.
