online UK based shops

[ferny]

The only proper UK camera shop I know of is Jessops. Does anyone know of any other UK shops where you can buy online?

I think it depends on what you're after. I've used http://www.digital-cameras.com/shop/default.asp before which is a pretty good site but for digital only.

what do you want to buy?, I use www.7dayshop.com for film and www.pixmania.co.uk is sposed to be alright for digital cameras

Nothing at the moment. I'm just getting them ready for when I do. :mrgreen:
I was flicking through the jessops site earlier and reaslised it's the only one I know.

The best thing to do is to buy a photography magazine like practical photography, amateur phographer etc cos like half of them is adverts from photography shops and you get a good read aswell.

www.warehouseexpress.com is another online shop. to my knowledge, they have competitive prices. they're based in norwich and have won some retail award 3 years running...

Amazon sell some kit - and the prices look good.

I buy most general stuff from ebay but i'm poor and get most of it second hand. I get darkroom chemicals from jessops as thats the only place i can find that sells chemicals.

I've used some of those already mentioned, along with:
www.jacobsdigital.co.uk
www.cameraking.co.uk

"The only proper UK camera shop I know of is Jessops."

Well, that's debatable - is it "proper"?

They've started to sell cheap silver plastic coloured junk there along with more computer bits than photographic gear.
