May 20,2024Over the last few years, I've used them. The price has always been good, and reliable delivery. I found them, totally by accident on the internet: a lucky find!!

May 09,2024I have been a customer of Wilkinson Cameras for over 20 years, dealing with the stores in Preston, Blackburn (now defunct), Bury (also now defunct) and Burnley and always with good experiences / excellent customer care. So, when looking for a new mirrorless camera and lenses, I had no hesitation in going to Wilkinson's. As I was trading in an old camera and wanted to try the new camera and lenses before I bought, I went to the Liverpool store - this being the only one with all 3 items in stock. 20 years of excellence and loyalty destroyed in 15 minutes dealing with the Liverpool store manager. With every previous purchase, every store went out of their way to offer help, guidance and something extra (free memory card / half price spare battery / free camera bag / ...). The purchase in Liverpool was the biggest cash value of all and told there was nothing they can offer. I asked for a bit of guidance with the camera functions etc. and was told "it's just like any other Canon camera you've had" - not true : even Canon say there are a lot of functional & setting differences between old EOS cameras and the Mirrorless models. Having spent in excess of £3500, they wouldn't even give me a 10p carrier bag without paying for it. I am now an ex-Wilkinson Camera customer looking for an alternative photographic retailer.

May 04,2024Wilkinson camera team/company provide an excellent service. I buy all my camera equipment from them and they have never let me down. The team have a vast experience and can always suggest upgrades and solutions. Well done team, you deserve all the credit.

Apr 22,2024Thank you for your rapid delivery of Zhiyun batteries needed for the filming of The Barn (Chichester Filmmakers) during the week of 15th April ‘24. Arrived in good time and ordering was as easy as going on to your website and selecting the items from stock. Phew!! An anxious moment when we found that no one else in the UK had what we needed. But you guys came through for us. Thank you 🙏 🎬🎥🙏

Apr 21,2024Having had a negative experience from a competitor company, I found a virtually new Nikon D810 at Wilkinson cameras. I received a very efficient and friendly service and I will return for my next purchase. Thank you.

Apr 17,2024I had been looking for ages for a Nikon 70-300mm AF-S VR Zoom lens, for my D90. I have had this camera for years, and barely had it out the box. As you are now unable to buy many lenses from new for the D90, I had to resort to secondhand. I found one secondhand on Wilkinson Cameras website. I opted for the A+ Camera grade lens, as I wanted it to be as unused as possible. I was not disappointed. It arrived really quickly, excellently packaged and in pristine condition. This lens could not be any better if it was brand new. Being A+ grade it is as mint as you can get. Tried it out this morning, and I am over the moon with this lens. Really pleased, wouldn't hesitate to recommend and if I need anything else I will jump straight to this website. Many thanks.

Mar 02,2024Such a lovely shop and staff! Had a great time chatting with Liz about all things cameras. Her passion for photography is infectious and she really helped me to figure out which camera I will replace my archaic compact with. There's some printing machines there too, which Liz guided me through connecting my phone to so I could print off a few snaps. The quality was the best I've found in Liverpool so I'll be back to print more soon. Highly recommend this shop (and staff) for all things cameras, even for novices like me. Thank you Liz and team for chatting with this technophobe.

Mar 01,2024In order to renew my passport I needed a recent photograph. I went to the Wilkinson store in Carlisle and said that I needed a photo for my Irish passport. A rather haughty assistant told me to remove my glasses. He said that this was a requirement. I replied that this was not the case and that I had recently checked the government advice. The assistant then said "if you try to enter the country with a passport photo in which you are wearing glasses you will not be allowed in". This was arrant nonsense - I had entered the UK just 48 hours beforehand using a passport with such a photograph. I am a frequent traveller and have both UK and Irish passports. Both passports have photos in which I am wearing glasses. He did try to take a picture but my photochromic lenses hadn't cleared by then. The UK online check rejected the picture. So another was taken without glasses and this passed the UK test. The failure was not because I was wearing glasses but because of a tint which had not cleared. Mr smug, the assistant, said this would be OK now and my photo would pass muster. For the education and edification of the arrogant assistant the (Irish) web-site advice reads "Transparent glasses may be worn so long as they do not cause glare or shadows or the frames do not cover any part of the eye." The photo didn't pass. It was rejected by the Irish passport office because the background was too dark. In a response to my Google review the store owner said "The Carlisle store is one of our most experienced passport photo stores. As a company, we are experts at taking passport photographs and we want to ensure that every passport photo we take will be accepted when you apply for your passport. " Some experts! Talking nonsense about the wearing of glasses. Saying that a photo was good when it failed to pass muster. Taking just shy of £10 for nothing worthwhile. Then having the gall to tell me how expert they are. If the Carlisle store is one of the most experienced it would be wise to steer clear of the others.

Feb 20,2024Purchased a camera this morning and during the transaction was offered a discount. They then cancelled my order as they said the discount was a mistake. This goes against trading standards and consumer rights and the company will not budge on their mistake after a telephone call. I have reported them. Update following Wilkinsons reply. To accuse me of being impolite, rude and threatening down the phone is an absolute lie, I mearly pointed out my stance in a calm, quiet manner. Shame on you Alex, and your team for this reply. Disgusting. Trust Pilot is for consumers to give feedback on experiences and not a place for retailers, to use it to slander their potential customers. Also I point out, I was willing to purchase the camera at full price, putting trust in you as a source amongst hundreds of other retailers offering this camera for sale today. For anyone reading this, be wary, for a bad experience could become an opportunity for Wilkinson to give you unwarranted, personal feedback to satisfy their sour grapes.

Jun 20,2024I ordered a used battery grip for my Nikon D7100 from Wilkinson cameras for a price that was very fair. The item was in excellent condition, with its original box, documentation and pouch; it even had an original Nikon battery inside it! A great purchase. It has made holding the camera in landscape and portrait orientation so much easier. Thank you!
