Here's what I found at RCE Aprilia: expertise and professionalism, helpfulness, and kindness. I've lived in Norway for 30 years and have rarely purchased used photographic products because the prices in this country are often outrageous and the warranty, when available, is only six months. Then I contacted the guys at Aprilia, who immediately demonstrated everything I wrote above, with the added bonus of being patient enough to wait until I can come to Rome to pick up the product I'd chosen. Thanks again, guys.

Purchasing a camera body like the Nikon D7200 was a choice based on the full compatibility of the lenses I own with my D90: being able to find a guaranteed camera in excellent, like-new condition and at comparable prices is a huge advantage. I will definitely be using RCE Foto again, where you can find many products for all budgets.

I purchased a Canon EOS 1D-X with 38,000 shots on it, and not only was the staff incredibly kind, but the packaging and product were fantastic! Practically like new, with all the accessories, and a very competitive price compared to the market average for used cameras. For shipping, I chose not to use the standard insured option, but rather the express insured option. The package was collected by the courier at 1:00 PM on November 5, and delivered at 2:30 PM on November 6, in perfect condition. Congratulations! RCE is a guarantee of professionalism and quality.

Professionalism is evident in the details, and here, nothing is left to chance! Living in France, I made my purchase from RCE Foto in Palermo, Italy, and I want to emphasize the excellence of this experience, despite the distance between us. The team is exceptionally professional, meticulous, and perfectly organized. The photographic equipment arrived in impeccable condition, carefully protected, with high-quality packaging and a perfectly prepared box. Shipping was fast, efficient, and flawless. Every detail testifies to this company's professionalism and its commitment to its customers, including those internationally. It's a real pleasure to see that such conscientious professionals still exist, for whom customer satisfaction and quality of service are not just empty words. From France, I wholeheartedly recommend RCE Foto in Palermo without the slightest hesitation! A big thank you to the entire team for their professionalism and excellent work.

Very positive experience with RCE Foto Rovigo! Despite repeated problems with DHL deliveries, the shop demonstrated great professionalism, reliability, and customer service. They responded quickly to my concerns, took action to resolve the issue, and spontaneously refunded me €29 in shipping costs, with the payment credited almost immediately. Truly excellent customer service, which makes all the difference, especially when something doesn't go as expected. A heartfelt thank you to the entire RCE Rovigo team! Highly recommended.
