Question

I'm looking to buy a decent Digital camera, along the lines of a fuji 6900/S602. There seems to be a lot of variation in the price between shops/websites so I thought I'd ask you lot to see if you know of a really good/cheap site

Jessops will often price match and you have the convience of being able to pop into a local shop and have a play before buying.

Got a Minolta Dynax7 from Jessops on line recently. Price new was around £900 but they listed it used, in perfect condition for £577 at a dealer in London. I rang to order and it arrived next day.

When it arrived, it was as though the box had never been opened. It also came with a full 12 month warranty and even the right batteries and charger. NB, you can take 1 or 2 shots with Duracells in a 5meg digi camera!!! You need big power rechargables.

Beyond the Dynax7 you are into the serious pro stuff like Josh uses. The main difference is that these will take standard (make specific) lenses. And £2,000 doesn't buy you the best one.

Thoroughly recommended.

UKdigital, look it up on google, got my 6900 from them.
Try them all and print out the cheapest, take it to Jessops, they may pricematch including whatever postage is involved.
