Product as described. No original box, but well packaged and delivered on time. I haven't used it yet except for two or three indoor photos, but judging from the tutorials, it has potential. I recommend this site for buying photo equipment, especially since there's a 3-year warranty.

Very fast shipping, I received it the day after I made the purchase, and the product was in the condition it was advertised on the website, true to the photos posted. I will buy here again because they are a sign of professionalism and quality and because second-hand products in good condition are a great economic option and with many years of life left. Thank you!

Excellent experience. After years, I was able to purchase a practically new Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII at a great price. Shipping was super fast and packaged well. The product is truly like new. A conscious and eco-sustainable choice; revitalizing new products should be a common practice. See you next time.

The lens was delivered exactly as I expected, that is, according to the specifications declared by the retailer: it's practically new and in perfect working order. Having purchased several items at different times and from different stores, I consider the RCE chain to be truly serious and reliable, with competitive prices.

From the moment you arrive, you're pleasantly surprised by the kindness and down-to-earth nature of the entire team. They're smiling, friendly, approachable, and above all, highly professional, knowing how to put you at ease without being pretentious. The equipment return process was remarkably smooth, simple, and efficient. Communication was pleasant, everything was clear, and you could tell you were dealing with serious people who love their work and have excellent interpersonal skills. It's exactly the kind of business we appreciate: a warm welcome, good humor, helpfulness, and genuine simplicity in human interaction. I'm completely satisfied with my experience and will gladly return to RCE Photo. Well done to the whole team!

Overall, an excellent purchase at a reasonable price. The Sony RX 10 M3 is in perfect condition, like new. The only drawback is the (non-original) battery that needs to be thrown away and some dust on the camera body. It deserves 5 stars because the item is truly like new and the delivery was fast.

When two people have a disagreement and, after clearing things up, find their way back together, there's nothing better than other situations where indifference reigns. This is how true, sincere friendships are born. Thank you, RCE Livorno
