These guys initially valued my camera at 550 - 650. Then their expert revalued it at 550, basically telling me why it was worth the minimum amount possible. I came back to get my memory card and to my shock, there was my camera in the front of their window being sold for over 1k! II hope nobody buys it. Even if they had the decency to have given me 650 plus for the camera I would not have felt the need to write. Bottom line - they gave me an unfair price, sold it at double the price quoted. I needed a quick sell, otherwise I could have got a fair price of 850-1k if I had sold it anywhere else. Use with caution. I wouldnt trust these people as far as I could throw em.
I found the guys here to be very friendly, very helpful and I will be visiting again.
Popped in to buy a camera strap, really good service and great shop!
Soooo many cameras! I could spend days in this shop, so many amazing pieces of kit and hidden treasures, a must for any photographer!
Great shop and good service. Lots 9f 2nd hand and pre loved stock
Very good as usual, great range of second hand cameras and accessories.
The friendliest staff I have ever encountered, very knowledgeable about their stock and so happy to answer questions and give you the time of day. Purchased a £500 camcorder secondhand for £225, better than half price and it looks and works as brand new! Couldnt be happier, highly recommend clock tower cameras to anyone looking for a great deal.
Very helpful in getting what I wanted in a quick and pleasant manner.
Today I bought a rad little Nikon F-301, really reasonable price. The guy who sold it to me was so helpful. He helped me set it all up and was really informative. Overall it just had a great vibe. Can’t rate them enough. I only found the shop as it was recommended to me by all my friends who do photography, as it’s quite tucked away.
A great find. Visiting Brighton and had neglected to order extra analog film. Thankfully this store was fully stocked and I was able to buy a few rolls, just as cheap as I would have online. Great staff, great cameras. Highly recommend
Incredible service! I bought a secondhand camera and it was amazing value and is as good as new! Eddy is so helpful I would recommend this store to absolutely everyone.
A very good camera shop, they have all sorts of cameras, film cameras and digital along with the other photography equipments 👍❤️
Great service and very knowledgeable. Bought a film camera and two lenses, he gave me free batteries and free lens bag. Amazing experience for my quick trip to Brighton.
Good old fashioned camera shop pleset shop small, knolageable starf got me sorted in one visit.
Excellent company! So helpful, fixed my issues many times, even over the phone! Best camera shop!
Ive always shopped here because Id rather give my money to a local shop than Amazon but after todays experience I wont be going back.Reduced staff obviously due to Covid (1 member of staff) but after having to stand outside the doorway for 15 minutes while the owner tried to secure a camera sale, I gave up after said owner didnt even have the courtesy to make eye contact, tell me hell be with me in a minute or even apologise for the delay.Appalling customer service! When I rang to say why I wont be returning he got shirty with me and blamed Covid. Im sorry but Covid is NOT an excuse for the inability to be courteous to a loyal customer. As an ex retail manager, I know customer service and I would be appalled if any member of staff failed in even the basic task of communication.Good luck in the new world of online shopping. With people like that behind the counter, youre going to need it.
I increased this places stars because the last time me and my mates visited the place we had a better experience and staff were nice.
Bought a used lens there and the staff member told me theyd dropped the price online and subsequently reduced price to match their website for me, included a lens case for free and found me a suitable second hand filter at a very reasonable price to get me by. Very friendly service and went out of his way to help! Id definitely go back.
Great shop. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, would recommend to beginners and professionals. They have lots of extra bits and bobs all for a reasonable price 👍
Highly recommend Clocktower Cameras! I found them helpful and knowledgeable both over the phone and in person. They gave expert advice on lenses that saved me hours of trawling the internet! The secondhand lens I purchased is amazing and saved me a pretty penny. ;-)The shop itself is Covid secure with a large Perspex screen at the counter, plenty of ventilation, hand sanitiser, and a 1 in 1 out policy.My first visit but certainly not my last!
Stopped by Clock Tower Cameras on a weekend away in Brighton. I Walked in to a customer buying their first digital camera, the advice and knowledge being given to this person by the staff was amazing and was all well explained. I also managed to treat myself to a medium format film camera that I have fallen in love with. Amazing store, these guys know what they are talking about! Would love to visit again!
Was looking for a starter 35mm SLR and the man in the shop was extremely helpful, walking me through the pros and cons of all of the cameras in my price range. He was super friendly and informative. 100% would shop there again!
It is a good place to visit if you are a camera lovers. You can find the 2nd hand cameras there which are of good conditions and also locate some useful accessories or films ........ It is a place worth for a visit.
Came in to ask about a supposed jam in my Nikon FE-2 and the guy knew exactly what was up with it, and had it fixed in a minute. Then explained the problem to me really clearly. Always knowledgeable and good service in here.
You don’t get places and staff like this anymore. Genuinely passionate about cameras and photography and happy to help the less knowledgeable. Visiting this shop was an experience and will most definitely revisit on my next visit to Brighton. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
Very helpful and local staff happy to chat about your requirements and options.Good selection of used gear and accessories.Photo-developing services have a reasonable turnaround time given that they are often sent off site, especially for E6 slides.Always worth popping in as you can find some unusual stuff in here from time to time.
Had a great service cleaning my DSLRs sensor with an extremely reasonable price. Staff were very friendly and the place is pretty content. You never will worry handing your delicate equipment here for servicing. Youll know a professional when you walk in the door.
Big range of camera, very nice and helpful staff. Would recommend to anyone who needs camera supplies
Brilliant and professional folk.i have known them for years and I thank my lucky stars I do. They have a brilliant range of cameras both old and new.. Also of funky stuff for my necessary and nephews to keep up with the trends and if I ever need anything they do there best to help. ACE
Took 4 weeks to return my photos and I had to continually phone them to remind them to do the service I had already paid for. Plenty of better run businesses in the area
Clock Tower Cameras really helped me out the other day. My camera battery was running low and the shop charged my spare for a nominal fee. This saved the day for me and let me get more great shots of Brighton. Thanks Guys - greatly appreciated.
Excellent customer service and unparalleled attention to detail. Would highly recommend!
Excellent small independent camera shop. Specialises in second hand gear but does have some new gear. Large selection of film cameras for those that want this. Does some new gear. Gives fair prices on part exchange digital gear. Brought from them a few times and always been very happy. Does repairs.
Went in to enquire about a camera repair and they were able to fix it quickly! The staff were all really nice, educated and helpful. They have a range of products at great prices, no rip offs. Very honest & humble. 100% recommended !
I love going there. Im like a kid in Hamleys. Guys are always friendly and helpful.
One of the best independent camera shops in the UK selling a mix of new (mostly Fuji) cameras and a wealth of second hand gear. Staff are really helpful and friendly. If youre in the area and love photography pay them a visit and enjoy gazing at the wealth of cameras and lenses.
Great little shop, really knowledgeable staff.
Great2nd hand shop, went in to talk to them and gave great advice on what I needed.
Brought a 126 cartridge to retrofit a 35 film with and explicitly said I need them to save the cartridge so I can reuse it. It was returned snapped in half. I would have preferred not having the outdated film developed so I could carefully prise open the case myself. A simple phone call and better customer service could have prevented my project being trashed.
An excellent shop run by helpful and friendly people. Bough a canon 6D today plus an amazing lens for a decent price. Very helpful and honest advice. Will be back and will definitely recommend!
Great range of new and second hand cameras and lenses, plus everything from a roll of film to a new bag. Love this shop!
Good old style camera shop with lots of unusual cameras.
Brighton is lucky to have a shop like this!The prices for used camera equipment are high, but their after sales service is excellent and the staff have a really good attitude regardless of why youre in there.Recommended to someone who is unsure of getting into using film or a new format.
Great camera shop with helpful information, the staff always on hand to give great advice, pick up a bargain or sell your equipment, a must visit for any aspiring photographer, highly recommended, with a vast variety of quality cameras and accessories.
The most helpful camera shop in Brighton. Very knowledgeable with great customer service. One of the few places left where you can walk in and get advice on a camera repair
Cannot recommend Clocktower Cameras enough. The staff are friendly and helpful, they have a huge range of film and second hand cameras, after sales support and general advice is excellent. Drop in for a chat and pick up some great kit with confidence.
A proper camera shop with knowledgeable staff
Lovely staff, very helpful and can do you a great deal as well.
I have not even done business (yet) with theses guys but I have been in there several times to ask questions. They have always taken the time to answer my obscure queries, the few services they can not provide they have referred me to excellent third parties for technical repairs to my damaged equipment. Although it seems that most camera and lens problems can be sorted out in house.A Good old fashioned business with excellent customer care.
Went in with a problem about a film camera I’d bought elsewhere, and within 1 minute the man had explained the issue, showed me how to fix it and got it all ready for me to shoot. Lovely service!
Im glad to hear that Im being watched as in my mobility scooter I do feel very vulnerable around town cause of all the people sleeping around and all the people begging for money and cigarettes, It makes me feel better excellent.
Oh...very disappointed, we were out in Brighton today specifically with the aim of buying a new camera. We werent greeted with a friendly smile, we asked to see the cameras and were told there were some newly arrived in a box, come back later. We felt a hindrance just for being there. Absolutely NO effort was made to find out what we wanted, most miserable service we have ever experienced. We spent our £279 in Currys on the way home where the sales assistant was smiley, helpful and knowledgeable. Serves them right.
Fantastic, had a box of bits that saved my bacon
Good selection of cameras and binoculars.The staff members were very patient and knowledgeable.
Good selection of cameras (film and digital) for a small shop. Prices for expired film should be cheaper - but if this is what the Brighton hipster types are willing to pay...
Always Develop my film on time, sometimes earlier, their cameras are a good price and the two owners are always friendly, helpful and give me honest advice.
Wonderful shop! Knowledgeable helpful staff, great stock range, good value and service, how a camera shop should be.
Excellent place for passport photos. Fast and affordable.
Superb shop with expert assistants. Prices are competitive.
Brilliant for old school equipment!
Really supportive advice and kind people. They are very helpful and patient, especially to someone like myself who is new to photography. Couldnt recommend them any more.
Excellent little local camera shop with a good selection of accessories and used lenses and cameras with highly knowledgeable shopkeepers

Perfect shop for photographers with lots of lenses, cameras and more to chose from and very kind and polite stuff members who take time to answer and explain :)
Fantastic shop great selection. Intelligent and informative staff ready to help.
Its like Alladins cave. Very small shop with an amazing amount of stock - almost no room for customers! Every town needs a camera shop like this.
For the size of the shop, a good selection of used and new equipment is offered by a helpful and knowledgeable team.
Here, personal service and attention to detail, together with an understanding of my modus operandi, led to a saving of over £100 when augmenting my camera equipment. Very satisfied customer.
Good place to buy camera equipment new and used friendly staff
Good range of second hand cameras. Fun to browse here.
Incredibly helpful, great service & got a bargain on a lens. Strongly recommend.
