No
Have to say the guy I spoke to at Jessops in the Headrow at Leeds was ace (wish I could remember his name). He spent time talking me through the pros & cons of both the Canon & Nikon I was looking at. Not pushy at all. All in all a good experience.

If there was a down side it was walking out of the shop carrying my nice new Canon 500D Tamron 70-300 lens and accessories in a Nikon bag (oh Sh!t i've already dropped into the Canon v Nikon debate) :)
 
nice,as for my experience,not so good with the online part of the business,the last 2 times I tried ordering both times they messed up with the prices so ended up cancelling the order but they did ring and tell me so not all bad.


ok I have to ask,what made you go for the canon?
 
The Canon felt/seemed easier to use.

:lol: Bringing the camera bag for my Canon 550D back on the bus, I made sure the Nikon side of the carrier bag was facing the seat so no one thought I used Nikons.

(I jest.)

lol so you got the poor sod in the shop to run though every tiny difference between the two,then said I'll take the canon,it feels better :lol: NO wonder you are praising him,he must have patients of a saint.JK
 
+1 for Jessops, I felt like I had a good service from them at the Guildford store when I got a new Nikon a couple of months ago.

I knew what I wanted when I went in and was prepared with a list of prices from online stores. They were willing to do some discount on everything I was buying and weren't to far off the cheapest I could get from the online stores I would actually have bought from.
 
I've been to two stores (Tamworth and Birmingham) and they have both been of excellent service, I get along really well with them and they even like it when I just pop in for a quick chat!

The only time I've had bad service is when they had a stupid part time woman who had no idea about cameras apart from what the average joe would know and tried to miss-sell me and other customers items that weren't fit for purpose! luckily she only worked for the Christmas shift :lol:
 
+1 for jessops when buying a 5d mark ii with 24-105kit lens and 2 580ex speedlights!
I rang round sever shops in my area bouncing from one to another with the prices jessops won. i spoke with the manager and also got him to chuck in a 8gb sandisk extreme!
mind you the lot came to £2900 but that was better then online prices and everywhere!

I find my local Jessops ( Taunton) helpful - BUT expensive when you compare them to Amazon etc

Les ;)
 
In Dundee, we only have Jessops, not other high street retailer or independent retailer. The prices are usually prohibitive and they dont seem to carry much stock. In 10+ times recently I've been in to have a look at something/buy something they have never had what I was after (nothing too obscure either). Occasionally there is a helpful member of staff but this does not seem the norm.

But alas, not much choice in the matter being the only local retailer. I do tend to purchase online though.
