I can't recommend this shop enough. Aside from a small initial glitch, which was quickly resolved by the extremely courteous and helpful staff, everything went perfectly. The product is practically brand new. Thanks again, and I will definitely buy from RCE Livorno again if the need arises.

A well-deserved 5-star rating (I'd add more if there were any) goes to Leonardo of RCE FOTO DARFO. I just purchased an Om System 5 Mark II. It arrived in just two days after I ordered it, and everything was and is perfect! Not only was the service and work excellent, as usual, but it was also topped off with Leonardo's wonderful kindness and helpfulness. Thank you so much!

Excellent service! In less than a day, the courier delivered my Fuji X-T3 camera, which I purchased on the RCE website. The camera is in perfect working order. In the box, I also found: two non-original batteries and the original one (which works, but is already a bit swollen), a charger for two batteries, and the original strap, which is like new.

RCE stands out for its honesty towards potential customers during the sales process. I purchased a used Lumix DC-GX9 marked as new and with very few shots. Well, the result is amazing. The camera is perfect and truly looks like it was just bought new. For us photography enthusiasts, having trust in a dealer is essential, and buying used equipment also helps reduce consumption. Thank you, RCE, and especially thanks to the team in Bologna. Pietro Santi

I purchased a used Nikon Z 24-120 f/4 lens. Perfect condition! It's practically indistinguishable from a new lens, at a lower cost. Delivery was fast and accurate. I will definitely purchase again through RCE.
