Worth looking around on the net and then going to Jessops in the high street and they will price match.

Enables you to get the best price plus buy it from somewhere that is easier to go back to and offer good service.

Have done this with the last two digitial cameraas I have bought.

Must have a address and tel. no
Must be in stock

When they matched the price for my Fuji S602Z all I did was take out a print off of the web page where it was cheaper and they took £100 off the price!! I suppose it depends on who you speak to at which store as to how strict they are.

As far as I know internetcamerasdirect is a well-established BRITISH firm which was founded by people who took an MBA together at Cranfield some years back.

Note that I am not connected to the firm and have never used them becuase I prefer to deal with 'bricks and mortar' shops for major purchases.

I think you should support the places that are genuinely cheap, rather than getting a price match. If everyone price-matched at Jessops, eventually the cheaper places would go out of business and you'd have to buy at Jessops's full price.

Hello

You might want to try www.nomatica.co.uk. Although you can't use them to price match with Jessops as they are a French firm.

Try:

http://www.warehouseexpress.com
http://www.parkcameras.com

I've dealt with both firms and been very happy with them.
