Nick's Camera and Lens Store
Camera and Lenses That I Use
Over the years, I dread to think how much money I have spent with Amazon on camera gear and accessories. We have a multitude of Amazon boxes and packaging scattered around the house. I absolutely love the buying process with Amazon which is why I have created this camera and lens store.
I am a big fan of doing business locally whenever possible, where I live in Dorset UK. However, no local stores seem to get the latest gear quickly if at all and Amazon seem to really kick butt on prices. Not only that, their delivery system is faultless. I remember ordering something at around 4pm on the Saturday before Easter Sunday once. The goods were actually delivered the following morning...Easter Sunday!
I was gob-smacked!
Even when I choose the cheaper or free delivery option, more often than not, the goods arrive the next day. Or not soon after.
Customer Reviews
I use the customer reviews on Amazon a fair bit. I love to hear what actual users think of products before I make any purchase. The great thing is that Amazon will highlight the "verified buyers" in the review section so you know you are getting genuine reviews from real buyers.
Check out the lovely KIT gear below which shows some of the equipment that I have bought mostly through Amazon. If you buy anything through these links, we get a few pennies which helps maintain the upkeep of ATP. Thanks!

My Favourite Kit
I've been using semi pro/pro camera gear for over 40 years now so have used a LOT of cameras. Out of the above, my favourites right now are both Panasonic. The Panasonic GH5 and my latest addition, the Panasonic S1H.
Whereas the GH5 isn't great for stills, the 4K, 10bit, 422, 400mbps video is exceptional. The S1H on the other hand, offers incredible, Netflix-approved, RAW 6K video as well as beautiful 24mp stills.
The features on these cameras are better than any camera I have used. Period. (I went a bit USA on you there. The Brit in me should have said "full stop" or "end of")
Saying all that, I am truly excited to see what the upcoming Panasonic GH6 will offer. Plus the latest Canon R series cameras are superb! We live in exciting times but at the end of the day, it's all about the camera you have right now.
Don't constantly chase the rainbow. Research well for your next camera, get one that serves all your needs and get out and shoot. If you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.
