I absolutely love this shop and the wonderful people who work here! Every time I visit they are so helpful and kind - they clearly care a great deal about photography as well as knowing a lot about it. I've bought film here and had it processed, bought a lens and a used film camera (the Yashica-A in the photo) - which Max patiently talked me through how to use! In addition to new and used digital and film cameras, they have a range of film and materials for home processing. They process b&w onsite and send colour off, so that takes a bit longer but I'm fine with that as I want to support this lovely independent business. There's also a sense of community here, which I really appreciate - customers having a chat with each other and recommendations from staff of local darkrooms and courses to go on. I always look forward to my visits!

Found the assistants very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend this shop to anyone.

Fantastic shop, bought binoculars for a gift. So knowledgeable and helpful - excellent customer service, hard to find these days. 👍👍

The people in this shop are very helpful....Good prices for all items they have ..

great high quality photos from 4 rolls developed here, thank you to the person that did that in the shop 🤗

Really excellent customer service and expertise. Staff took the time to discuss our needs then took the time to let us try at least 5 different spotters and binoculars. They made sure we purchased what was right for us rather than the most expensive. Everything an independent shop should be.

Just purchased a previously enjoyed camera and traded in some of my own equipment in exchange. I was looked after by David on this occasion. David was very knowledgeable and happy to offer advice on my options regarding camera choice. I was in the shop for well over an hour and never felt rushed to make a decision. Jan also helped me to decide what was the best route. I have used Canterbury Cameras for several years and always find them helpful, knowledgeable and honest. Whilst I was there another customer came in and asked for their camera sensor to be cleaned. It turned out to be dust in the viewfinder and the sensor was perfectly clean. The staff member (Max) even took some test shots to show the customer that the sensor did not require cleaning. There was no charge for this and I think it took around 20 minutes to check everything. Wonderful to see this honesty! Great work by all the team at Canterbury Cameras.

Anka and Max were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and generous with their time- I couldn't recommend Canterbury Camera Centre enough

Went in to buy binoculars for my partner. We did not have very much knowledge on what to buy. The young man serving us could not have been more helpful - showing us the choices in our price range, explaining everything we needed to know. Would recommend this store for any purchase of camera or binoculars. Good old fashioned service.

Super friendly staff. Reasonably priced film developing and I got a bunch of film from here last month - they carry a good range from 35mm to Polaroid films. Would definitely recommend!

Popped in to test a Nikon mirrorless. Max was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Excellent, comprehensive advice without a sales pitch. Bought the camera and will definitely use Canterbury Camera Centre when I'm ready for some new lenses. Thanks Max!

I always try and keep things local. I've been using these guys (but mainly Jan) for help with purchases and repairs over the years. Their product knowledge cannot be faulted.

Great website and having visited the shop I can say that they are a friendly and helpful bunch of people 😀

I have been using Yan for many years as I am a semi pro photographer and always found him knowledgeable, honest and keenly priced. His staff are always polite and also have much experience in their fields. Yan offers many services including passport photos and in house digital camera sensor cleaning. One of those little gem business' that I always try my hardest to use and hopefully keep in return ensure they are trading into the future.

Excellent camera shop, very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great for second hand equipment, you can get pretty much anything here.

Excellent photographic shop, always very helpful. Good selection of cameras and binoculars. All the associated services available. Support the independent retailers.

Spoke to them by phone on Saturday about logistics and the product dimensions. Needed the product quickly if possible. Ordered a Slik tripod using its website on Saturday morning at 1110 AM. Got a confirmation email of dispatch 15 minutes later Paid standard royal mail. Arrived 1300 Monday. So pleased with price, presale support and logistics.

Always friendly staff with great knowledge. Incredible prices on film as well. Kodak ColorPlus £7 Gold 200 £10 Ultra max 400 (36) £12 HP5 £7 Which all beat online so I’ll no longer be searching elsewhere for film stock :)
