Harrison Cameras Reviews 

Good value for money if you take everything into consideration - item price, quality, delivery time etc.
Not always cheapest but have never had a problem with anything i purchased & DPD delivery has always been timely.

I was left disappointed by my overall experience with this store. For a retailer dealing with cameras. I expected a more professional and reassuring purchase experience. In my view, the service did not match the standard I was hoping for, and I would be reluctant to use this store again. Based on my own experience, I would look elsewhere.

Unfortunately, my experience with this store was disappointing. In my opinion, the level of customer support and attention to detail was not what I would expect from a specialist retailer of cameras and security equipment. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this store.

Every thing seemed straight forward.
Details of purchase were as listed.
Goods arrived as promised and securley packaged.
First impression on opening the package was good. The co dition of the camera was, as fzr as could see, aa described.
Need to try it out now , just to complete the circle.
This is the first time I've dealt with Harrison Cameras, but first impressions are positive.

Good quality. Very important, they can be hung on the wall .

Great customer service from the team at Harrison Cameras.
Competitive pricing and seamless trade in process.
Highly reccommend

I've used this store for many years. Always excellent service from friendly staff. Highly recommended.

I have dealt with Harrison's before this order. Very smooth and unfussy. Good communication.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND APPROACHABLE MAKING THE WHOLE RESALE AND BUYING PROCESS AND QUICK PICK UP AND DELIVERY SERVICE A PLEASURE - AS WELL AS HAVING THE MOST COMPETITIVE PRICES IN THE MARKET - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND ESPECIALLY FOR THEIR CLIENT SERVICES. MANY THANKS TO ALL THE TEAM

Excellent experience, easy to order and a very competitive price.

Item as described, good price and postage. Quick delivery, all good

Gave me a quote online, arranged collection of my kit, inspected my kit on delivery and paid me in full, as quoted, the next day. And thier price was the best I could find. All in all an excellent transaction and a delight to do business with Harrison Cameras. Would definitely use them again.

Very quick delivery and customer service amazing, what a find and would definitely order again

Really helpful lady who, when I explained I needed a longer than usual flash bracket to allow my Godox V860111 to be triggered by my iT30 pro, was on to a solution immediately and a used 32-36 Metz bracket is in the post to me at a very reasonable price.

Excellent service from Ewan when I called in last week to leave a Sony camera for cleaning. I received an e mail saturday afternoon to say it was ready for collection along with a comment about my lens which was on the camera. Called again today part exchanged the lens for a new one (old one has been all over the world and had some hammer) EXCELLENT service from Ewan again. Also great to see a shop full of customers supporting an independant business THANK YOU

Bought a second hand lens (15mm Summilux Leica mft) from Harrison Cameras and am absolutely delighted with all aspects of the purchase. Spoke with a rep before purchasing (to make sure still in stock / check condition etc) and was invoiced by email and paid for the lens. It was delivered next day (earlier than expected!!) in bombproof packaging and the condition of the lens was spot on, if not better than I had expected. Outstanding service, fabulous lens - thank you so much.

This camera shop is staffed by enthusiastic experts with a good range of second hand equipment. However, I took my Lumix camera to them for a repair estimate which came back at over £400 - about the price of a second hand one on eBay. I declined and then managed to get it repaired for £115 using a service advertised on eBay. So if repair estimates seem high, you might want to get a second opinion!!

I visited the shop on Monday 16th and again on Tuesday 17th, and unfortunately both experiences were extremely disappointing.
On Monday, the store was clearly understaffed for how busy it was. There were only three members of staff behind the counter. While they appeared to be doing their best, the queue continued to grow with no sign of improvement. After waiting a considerable amount of time and repeatedly being told, “We’ll be with you as soon as possible,” I eventually had to leave without being served. What was particularly frustrating was seeing other staff members come downstairs, walk past a shop full of waiting customers without acknowledging anyone, and then return upstairs. It felt very dismissive.
I returned on Tuesday hoping for a better experience, but it was much the same. Again, only three staff members were serving and the queue was long. This time I decided to wait. Unfortunately, the service I received was not worth it. The older gentleman who served me (tall, glasses, beard) was rude, blunt, and dismissive throughout the interaction. When I even asked if I should wait for another member of staff as he seemed busy or uninterested, he responded with sighs and sharp, abrupt answers to my questions.
Overall, it was a very uncomfortable and frustrating experience. The lack of staffing and unwelcoming attitude from said staff member made what should have been a simple visit unnecessarily unpleasant. I left without making a purchase.

Having purchased a second hand camera in October 2025 and only just having had the film developed, I can now leave a review as I can confirm the camera works!

Excellent service from Harrison Cameras.
My only negative would be the courier who left the box outside in the rain. Thankfully I noticed it had been delivered quite quickly so retrieved it, and the camera itself had been generously wrapped in bubble wrap.

I'd look to Harrison Cameras again if I wanted to buy a camera.

I have mixed feelings about Harrison Cameras. I first shopped with them in the late 70's , buying a new Pentax K1000 film camera with standard lens. I was 20 years old and knew little about the ins and outs of photography. Some forty odd years later and many thousands of pounds lighter in the pocket, I think I know a little more than I did then. My enthusiasm is still there and I still get a buzz from walking through the Harrison doors to possibly purchase a mouthwatering addition (usually preowned ) camera or lens.
I think back to the busy Saturday afternoons when Ron, his two sons, and the rest of the team spoke with friendliness, enthusiasm and more importantly knowledge about the stock.
During the last couple of years I have, after a purchase, left feeling somewhat disgruntled even though tempered by the fact that I have come away with the item I wanted. I mainly refer to items taken in for part exchange. Regarding any lenses that have been submitted, there has always in the recent past a "slight fungus " reference which always drastically reduces the value of a trade in, even down to a £10 recycling value, lenses that had been checked by myself before the attempted trade-in. The most obvious recent example of this was a telephoto zoom lens which was a temporary fill-in for an impromptu visit to Liverpool which was purchased from a very well established online company a few weeks previous to the trip. A while after this 'trip', I wanted another focal tele lens and took it in to Harrisons as a part-ex. I was told that there was signs of fungus present which I did not believe as I had checked the lens at length with a torch and magnifying glass before taking it in and found no such evidence but the staff member was insistent. I purchased the lens I wanted, took the previous lens home and returned it from where I purchased it from. They professionally checked it out and rated it "excellent " and paid me a top price for it after I originally purchasing it just ten weeks prior to reselling it to them. There has been other encounters in recent times at the store that have left me less than totally happy and I feel that after all these years I should divert my time, purchases, and more importantly, hard earned cash to an online dealer who gives me the service I am totally happy with.
I am pleased that after all this time that the Harrison business is still a part of Sheffield but I do wonder whether I will be a customer in the future.
