So glad to have arrived early and had a chance to walk in and be treated to a wealth of knowledge on vintage cameras and service with patience and a smile. The proprietor is a wonderful gentleman who takes his time to explain details and the history of the vintage cameras he sells. I wound up buying a Minolta Minox and hope to some day bring home a Leica III he has in excellent condition

Amazing service. Popped in with a old film camera I found in the attic and not used for over 40…read moreyears. Had it checked overed and given details on how to use the camera.

If I could give a big fat ZERO i would, but i'll just have to settle for 1 star for now…read more Rude and hostile are the only ways to describe the man i spoke to. I asked to have a look at a camera, in which he gave a deep sigh before doing so (like a bloody teenager who couldn't be bothered) i asked about what functions it had and was met with rolled back eyes and a obligated/forced answer. Before leaving he said "i wouldn't want to be a showroom for some one else" I understand where he's coming from and i would rather give my money to a small high street business, however after the teenage and rude attitude he gave me (especially for a man of his age i would expect he would learn some manners) he practically pushed me out the door himself, NO WAY am i giving my money to a man like that. You just lost £500 quid to Jessops! from which may i add i had an outstanding service from!

Centre point is an independent camera shop that caters for every angle of photography. The guys…read morehere are friendly and happy to dispense sound advice to photographers at all levels. They seem to have a relatively intuitive nature about them which makes then sufficiently customer focused to talk to you with the right level of technical information. In short they don't bamboozle you with things you don't understand but it's clear straight off the bat that they know their stuff. Their range of stock is good too though leaning more to the digital side of photography, they have in store development facilities and stock a selection of frames. Which is not only ideal for those of us who are so proud of our shots we want them framed, but also good if you just want to do justice to a print. Price wise I've found Centre Point to be surprisingly cheap for a shop of its nature. You can doubtlessly find most of the stuff in here cheaper on line or in some of the bigger chains but considering the level of one to one advice available in here I think you buy into a little more than just the camera.

I do believe that this is one of the original shops in this franchise. What distinguishes this shop…read morefrom most is the amount of second equipment for sale that has reminded me of long sold gear I had over forty years of photography. This branch carries a good stock of Manfrotto tripods - I bought a 190CXPRO4 & three way head for a good price. If you shop here regularly & are recognised, it's worth asking for a discount. They sell the usual brands & will clean DSLR sensors if you don't want to or dare do it yourself! Worth a visit.

I left feeling that I had bought my Granddaughter exactly the correct Cannon DSLR, stabilised lens and kit for her 6th form course at a very reasonable price. Why had I even bothered to go to the headless chickens of Curreys/PC World earlier........probably more expensive with no interest or expertise.

Harpers is a good, old-fashioned photography shop. There's something here for serious pros and for…read moreenthusiastic amateurs. Staff pride themselves on the advice that they can give and they really do seem to know their stuff. They're happy for you to handle cameras and will not try to push you into a purchase that you're not happy with. They're happy for you to go away. A wide range of makes are stocked. New and secondhand models are available. The shop carries a huge range of accessories for photographers from bags to lenses, metres to tripods, albums to frames. Prices are competative. There's a photo processing service which offers excellent results although it will cost you more than the main chains. The shop itself is old, cluttered and dark. It feels like it should though! I'd recommend Harpers and their service without hesitation.

Although not necessarily the cheapest place, if you like to 'try before you buy' - essential for a good camera, I think - this is a good place to go. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, and the range of stock is huge. I didn't feel pressured into buying, nor did I think that I was made to feel like an idiot for asking basic questions. They have an excellent web-site which is worth checking before you go, as it lists whether items are in stock, and they will honour their web-site prices in the shop. (NB The deals on the web-site are often better than published in their adverts in photographic magazines). It's only 15 minutes from Brighton by train, and then a ten minute walk.
