Jessops

Last week I was looking to buy a charger for my Nokia Coolpix camera - it's one of the most prevalent point-and-shoots today, so I didn't expect to have many issues with getting it from Jessops. How little I knew! Firstly, it took me about 5 minutes to get the attention of someone in the store. Admittedly, I had thought I might be able to help myself, so I had gone straight to the battery and charger display, but the wealth of choice left me dumbfounded, so I looked around for someone to help me. Though there were two gentlemen on the other side of the store, not clearly assisting any other customers, I wasn't approached at all. I took the product I had a ...  Read the complete review

Was in Jessops today with my dad as he is looking for a digital SLR. The first thing that immediately became apparent was the level of customer service in this particular shop. It was the branch on Sauchiehall St, Glasgow. Their customer service was fantastic! All to often you walk into a shop and are ignored by the sales staff and when you do ask a question they're none too helpful. This is not the case in Jessops. The sales staff were very warming and certainly know their stuff. The shop itself has a good range of camera equipment on display. A lot of SLR equipment, covering bodies and lenses. There is also a wide range of compacts and video cameras in ...  Read the complete review

Buying a new camera these days can be a bit of an ordeal due to the vast amount of models on the market to choose from - and once you've chosen your shooter, where is the best place to buy it from?...

I purchased a camera from Jessops as it was on offer. The Jessops store is only about 2 miles away from me and after having seen it on the website reduced I thought I would go ahead and buy it. They have an option where you can collect in store but as delivery was free anyway I just went ahead and got it delivered. The camera arrived the next day without problem and I was very pleased with it and the service. Jessops traditionally used to develop negatives and print photographs from film and I never had a problem with their quality when using this service. They even used to give a free roll of film with every processing (though I think this was all built in to ...  Read the complete review

Jessops, the UK's largest photographic retailer, recently reported losses of almost £50 million after the digital camera market had its first slowdown in years and after the closure of 80 of its stores, they should be upping their game. I spent quite some time browsing the shop and not one of the staff thought it worth asking if they could help. Some of stickers that told me about its products and services: cameras, accessories, photos, gifts and, apparently, impartial advice; just the advice is slow of coming. Apart from racks of photo albums, Ilford photographic paper, cabinets of cameras, a row of speedy photo development machines and a desk at the back ...  Read the complete review
