Re: On line camera stores

Golden Rule

Don't buy a camera from the far east-china-japan-hong kong- etc, their cameras have a different format for that area of the world. Also be careful of shops selling cameras that they have imported unless they are UK spec ones. You may have trouble getting them repaired in this country.

By all means by a camera on line but remember if it has a fault it will mean post/packeting back to that store if under warrantee. I personally would buy a camera from well known high street camera stores ( Jacobs/Jessops) or a local camera shop but not take out their extra cover insurance (see my posting on insurance). You can always go back to that shop afterwards if you don't understand something about the camera and ask, something you can't do on line easily.

Lenses are a completely different matter,I have purchased from Hong Kong and had some good deals but that is not what has been asked.

Re: On line camera stores

Let us know what you're going to be after, and we'll try and help you find the best deal

If you're buying Nikon, buy from an official UK retailer as that way you get a 2 year warranty

Maybe the D80 is worth a look with this cashback offer.

Re: On line camera stores

Oh Jols let me know when have chosen.

I spent hours and hours reading reviews and the internet, and still was confused

I think Phil is asking if you would be interested in his D50? more choices
