What customers say
I would highly recommend this store for everyone who’s into photography and filming! The customer serves is amazing! The guys helped to choose my dream film camera and I could actually take my time holding it in my hands and looking at some pictures made on it on the internet.
So as a first time buyer having used the Willoughby’s website; I did a blind purchase on a Sony G lens after having done my research on the lens. My order was delivered on time or maybe even sooner than expected.
Ok I searched for camera and willoughy's had best price so I bought a Nikon p1000 .A day later I get a call from them asking if I bought the the right camera because what I bought was international version .He explained it did not have wifi and in diff. Language...
Silvio simply has a magic touch , my Sony A73 grew tired of me and stated developing Shutter failure. all Silvio had to do was hold the camera, speak some wisdom into me, and my shutter decided to work again!
