Best UK Camera Shop?

[Bob_Defly]

I'm looking to get some new equipment, and rather than pricerunner/kelkoo each individual piece, I was wondering which online shop most people would recommend. I'm not looking for anything that sources from the Far East as a camera body will be one of the items and I can't be bothered sending it overseas for any faults..

So any recommendations? I've bought a few bits and bobs from Calumet but I'm a bit more price sensitive at the mo'

2 recommendations for you:

1. eBay seller Kerso - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FLASH-CAMERA

You don't have to buy via eBay as far as I know, you can contact him and he will quote for you. Very reliable, low prices, and all UK kit.

2. www.warehouseexpress.com

Always had good service from these guys.

well I'm about to pick up a Canon 70-200L 2.8 IS from Kerso tomorrow based on numerous solid recommendations. Picking up in person. Good prices and so far, all good.

Another big thumbs up for Ian Kerso from me

I've recently had delivered a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 DG Macro II, Sigma 2x teleconverter, SB-800, MB-D10 grip (and have a Sigma 10-20mm on order from him as well)

Excellent service & great communication (and cheaper off eBay)

Although I've never bought from Ian myself I have always read good reviews on EPZ

For a 'normal' supplier I'd head for Warehouse Express. The prices are competitve for non-grey goods and if you do have any problems, they're there to answer the phone and will refund/exchange without quibble.

big branch in leicester, with an offical Canon Shop there aswell.

I'd agree with both of those

Kerso has a great reputation but doesn't all his stuff come from the states?

http://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/ are well regarded...

Rather than kelkoo/pricerunner stuff, why not visit http://camerapricebuster.co.uk/ ??

Yes, but not an issue as lenses come with an international warranty. It's camera bodies that have a "market specific" warranty.
