Jessops advice please

[Boddie]

Again I have won a competition at work which will see me receive a grands worth of vouchers which can be used in a number of retail outlets.

Jessops is one such outlet.

I would not necessarily normally shop at Jessops, so I was wondering - what are Jessops competative on.

Say I could get a £1,000 lens. But why bother when the same lens of would cost £700 from somewhere else?

So what are they competative at?

contrary to popular belief they can be competitive on camera bodies, particularly when they have an offer on. I'm talking DSLRs here, they're not so competitive with other types of camera. I think they also will match internet prices.

You've probably got enough camera bodies though

if you got the vouchers for nothing, then it doesn't matter if jessops is over priced, what even you buy still didn't cost you anything!

buy some thing and then see if they give you a cash refund

For nothing? Employee of the year so far. mmm

I see your point but I would think it a waste to spend them on something just for the sake of it, regardless of whether it be overpriced

They do price match on telescopes if you are still in the market for one?
get an adaptor with it and voila.....something like an 800mm lens for the camera

I think I'd sit on them a bit and wait to see if someone brings out the next zillion pixel, super dooper camera that makes tea as well. Don't let the vouchers burn a hole in your pocket.

But then I suppose you were always first down the sweet shop on pocket money day, when you were a kid!
