theProf Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Originally posted by DJ01 If Jessops are price matching then they are probably the best there staff are very helpfull - there printed prices were more than many we found on line - so i guess a good shop round on the internet to get the best price for them to match is the best idea Jessops will always help you out with regards to buying a digital camera. The one in Sheffield when I went in and stated I was looking for a replacement camera he asked me what "memory card" my previous one used... saving me a fair bit on a new "memory card" You wouldn't get that with the internet...

*Twinkle* Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I got one from Gadget shop t'other month. It was brand new in. It was £60 and you can take tons of pics, it takes an SD card if you want even more pics, it zooms in/out and is small and compact. It also can record video, which is good if you don't want to be carrying a big camcorder around with you... Its made by Oregon Scientific... Have a nosy in the shop, its a little gold thing. Its a battery gobbler, especially when you use the flash, so don't forget to buy some rechargeables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaline Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Originally posted by Foxxx I bought mine in Jessops in Meadowhall (also one in town). They pricematch to the internet so are pretty competitive and know what they are talking about to! Places like Dixons and Argos, are usually more expensive and the staff aren't camera specialists. i agree what i did was to print out that amazon price for the camera i wanted, then take it down to jessops and theyll match it. theyll also usually give you a bundle deal and you dont have to pay amazon postage. bargain! i save about £100 on their instore price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Jessops is the best place I agree. Not only do they pricematch amazon (see above) but their customer service is excellent! The other half decent place is John Lewis, who are quite cheap to start off with and have decent guarentee's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modesty Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I've had about 6 to date and for what it's worth, the Sony Cybershot DSC-P9 is far superior. 4.0 mega pixels, Crystal quality for it's pettite size. Sony Shop, Meadowhall. The photo printer to go with it, is a must too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_s Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Just a small addition for any of you getting the whole digital camera thing off to a big start... When it comes to printing the photos you could save yourself an absolute packet by looking at something called a CFS inkjet system... ie: Continuous Flow... ... where the ink is fed from a bulk ink bottle to special cartridges and not only doesn't require new cartridges every 30 or so prints, but also is a LOT cheaper (but only if you're intending on using the printer regularly)... I got one for heavy print out usage for a project I run and it works very well with the Epson C84 I got... If you want to check it out then the site is here: http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/cobra.html .. and no, I don't get commission or ought, it's just a system I got together for a school I provide tech support for and it's saving them an absolute packet in ink costs too.

Nick Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I bought mine from Jessops in town. I went into Jessops and Harrisons to get all the expect advice I needed and found the best price I could on the net (which was Amazon). I then 'phoned Jessops and they agreed to match it - but they didn't have any in stock. However, they said they'd get me one and the manager called me back at 9am the next morning saying my camera had arrived! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
