After meetingg Aled from Clifton…

After meetingg Aled from Clifton cameras through COAP online, we discussed about upgrading to mirrorless.
I sent email through to make contact at later date, and was called back to discuss options. Quotes was then sent through at a very competitive level. I decided to go through with Clifton Cameras, and couldn’t the level of communication and level of service received.
After service I’ve received I won’t be buying from anywhere else in future. Great collaboration between COAP and Clifton Cameras

Great communication and customer service

Communication was excellent during a long awaited (delayed) delivery from Fujinon. Only a slight mix up over stock availability stopped me giving a 5 star review. I’m delighted with the Binoculars supplied, which were quickly delivered once received, and well packaged. Great company!

Would Recommend

Carry a vast range of products and all at very competitive prices. Even though I didn't pay from next day delivery, my product was delivered next day which was unexpected and a very pleasant surprise. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect Experience

I ordered a Pentax lens that had to be ordered in specially. I was kept informed as the the progress of the order at all
Stages. As I had never visited Clifton Cameras’ store in person, I decided to collect the item instead of having it shipped to me. All staff in the store were attentive and friendly and the store itself is well situated and laid out very well with plenty of demo units to handle. Even though I had a round trip of 240 miles to collect the lens, it made for an excellent day out. Highly recommended 👍

Brilliant service.

Prior to placing an order I raised questions with the supplier, these were answered immediately.
My order was placed on 7/1/26, the process was straightforward. The goods were delivered by courier the next day. Full information was provided & a 1hr delivery slot allocated. Items were very securely packaged & delivered within the time slot.
Exceptional service from start to finish.

Seestar S50 – Simply Amazing

​I am beyond impressed with the Seestar S50. First of all, the delivery was much faster than I expected, which was a great surprise.
​As for the performance, this device is incredible. It takes unbelievably good photos of the night sky, even though my garden is heavily affected by light pollution coming from the neighboring apartment block. It manages to capture clear, stunning images despite the challenging conditions. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an easy-to-use smart telescope!

I consistently receive an outstanding service from Clifton Cameras. From price match to product packaging when ordering online, Clifton Cameras leave no reason to shop elsewhere. Packed professionally for postage and transit in the post, expensive equipment ordered and optics have arrived as expected with the care and consideration to their value. A big thanks to Kushaan and Paulina for taking the initiative to call and confirm a price match and for such a prompt dispatch of the item ordered too.
No time wasted. In comparison to other retailers, I would highly recommend Clifton Cameras time and time again. Thank you! - area1photography
