Jessops

...me in the direction of Jessops so I paid a visit to their Web site. The camera I decided upon was the Canon A40 (review coming up after Christmas) It is pitched to those that want to just point and click but also allows for experimentation with its manual settings. This is more than adequate for a first foray into Digital Photography. Jessops were competitive on price (£229.00) with other high street retailers. I also checked out a couple of Web ...
...to take with me to Jessops as none of the Web sites could guarantee delivery prior to Christmas. The Shopping Experience – My local Jessops store had 4 of the Canon A40’s in stock and on a busy final Saturday before Christmas the service was prompt even though there were around 7-8 people in the small store. I asked the assistant if I could take a look at the Canon and he got me a complete boxed version from the storeroom. He talked me through the ...

Review of Jessops

...this year when I used Jessops for the first time. Jessops were formed in the 1930's on a small scale and back then were very much a specialist company with few customers but have grown gradually through the decades. Today they have over 200 shops nationwide one of the largest companies of it's kind, are continuing to grow and are beginning to corner the niche in the photographic high street industry. Jessops has been voted best photographic retailer ...
...countless hourdes of others and Jessops are well aware of this. In the past my pictures have been poorly developed or have been poor quality countless times but the three times I have used Jessops now, my pictures have been top quality. As an amateur photographer that is all I am looking for really - consistently good quality snaps time after time and Jessops in my experience are the only service out there up to the job. They process the standard ...

Review of Jessops

...The great benefit of the Jessops CD is that all the files are the JPG format, ensuring that the vast majority of programs can access and work with the files. But having the files in five different sizes, greatly reduces the need for changing them anyway. I've never been too pleased with the APS format, because the smaller prints always seem such a waste when you could use the panoramic setting, whereas the panoramic setting never really seemed suitable ...
...you can upgrade the free Jessops film to a Kodak, or whatever other brand you require for a small fee - you just pay the retail difference between Jessops and your favoured brand. Its so good not to have to scan all the photos in myself, I wish I'd discovered the service a couple of years ago. Highly recommended service in my view. Incidentally, if you want to look at my photos of Madrid and Toledo you'll be able to see them www.themos.org/madrid ...

Review of Jessops

...Doncaster and Sheffield branches of Jessops but should be attributable to any branch with in-store developing kiosks. My experience of the in-store developing from digital media is very good. The Jessops branches that I use have a bank of touch screen machines (kiosks) for you to develop your digital pictures. Each store has several such machines so you never have long to wait (if at all) to use one. The machines take a wide variety of memory cards ...
...you are a member of Jessops Picture House online store you can also upload the pictures from the machine to your account. The prints that I have had done there have been exceptionally good quality with vibrant colours and on good quality paper. The first time I got pictures developed through those machines were about 4 to 5 years ago and the colours on those prints have lasted without fading. I have been extremely pleased with all of the photos developed ...

...from my local branch of Jessops and although they didn't have it in stock at the branch, they very quickly were able to check their system, confirming that one was available indeed available from their warehouse. I paid for the item in full upon ordering and it was in the store for collection within two days whereupon they very promptly telephoned me to let me know - All at a price LOWER than ANY of their competitors. In my experience - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ...

Review of Jessops

...I used to work in Jessops (post graduating, loans up to my elbows and those necessary bills to pay, then your dignity has to tumble), and although I have fond memories of my time there, I plead with you to think twice before you pop into your local store to get your films developed. When I first joined, I believed that I would be working for a professional company (I had my degree show pictures developed and enlarged with Jessops, after losing a ...
...by my direct manager that Jessops was not a 'professional' company, nor did it wish to attract that sort of clientele. Jessops was here to supply the masses; So no waxing lyrically on the pros and cons of selenium toners, no discussion on the wonders of Gitzo tripods - sell Jessops products and sell them fast. Fair enough, I suppose, just another money orientated organization that wasn't particularly interested in its customers, that's not so unusual ...

Review of Jessops

...10x8 80% grey card from Jessops online for testing light. For starters, it arrived almost a week late (I was told it would be next day delivery) and bent in half due to unsuitable packaging and no message to say "do not bend". You can't test light with a bent card, it gives the wrong readings, and considering it was for a project, I needed the readings to be correct and to finish this section relatively quickly. To return or exchange goods to Jessops ...
...I can't stress this enough DO NOT BUY FROM JESSOPS ONLINE. I have since made an order from photobox for prints, which arrived 2 days later, one of which had a problem and this was resolved in two hours, a lot better than 6 weeks, I think you'll agree. ...

Review of Jessops

...I have been happy with Jessops developing my films, but having recently had two films developed at the Cambridge branch I wont be going back again. Both films had a significant number of prints with white lines on one edge because the machine had either mis-cut or mis-printed them. On closer inspection I also noted that EVERY print had cropped a significant area (at least 10%) from around the edge of the photo (c.f. the negatives). On complaining ...
...level of reasonable quality. Jessops used to offer a week long service where my photos were sent away to a lab, and I did receive a reasonable standard for my money. Those days are gone, look elsewhere for someone who will actually make an ounce of effort to do a decent job of your photos. ...

Review of Jessops

I have used Jessops on several occasions to develop films and have tried their 'Jessops' photo-CD as I like to email pictures to friends and family. I found the quality of their own brand CD to be sadly lacking when compared to the alternative Kodak Photo CD. I recently asked my partner to drop some films in to one of their branches and to get prints and a Kodak CD with each film. When I collected the developed pictures I found I had Jessops CD's ...
...available from slide film. If Jessops own staff don't provide accurate information to customers how can customers hope to get the service they require. I have had a similar experience but was more insistent that the service I required was available despite the salespersons ignorance of both the difference between Kodak and Jessops CD's and the ability to scan slide film to CD. I have a some very nice slides I cannot share or get prints from as ...

Review of Jessops

Having received an e-mail from Jessops for 50 free prints I decided to give them a try. I went onto their website and uploaded the photos onto my account that I wanted to print which was very simple to do. I then paid for the postage (£1.49) and the photos had to upload following payment. This took quite a while to do, approx. 15 minutes. After 2 days my photos arrived. I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures and the paper they were ...
...phone (which only has a 2 mega pixel camera) and they still came out fatastically. I would say the photos are just as good as ones from anywhere else and it saves having to mess around printing them out on our photo printer! I note from their website that they do various other things with your photos, such as cards and canvasses, etc which all seem to be very reasonably priced. I will definetly be trying some of their other services out in the near ...

I ordered on the 2nd of December but was informed after ordering that it might not arrive before christmas so I went and bought one from Currys for £10 more but at least I had it in my hand. I went on Jessops website to cancel and found that unlike most websites that allow you to click on 'cancel' and you cancel it yourself, you need ...

Review of Jessops

I had a terrible experience with Jessops. Enough for me to vote with my feet and never go in any of their shops again, and to tell everyone how bad they are. I left a picture to be developed and pre-paid. It was a scan of picture of my wedding picture that a friend of the family took. We got married 10 years ago in a small village in France. 2 days later when I came to collect the lad in charge look at the picture and say: "Is it your son's wedding?"... ...

I reply "It was 10 years ago in France, how do you expect me to have a written proof of something that doesn't exist?" He says "Then I won't give you the picture". I reply "then refund me and give ...

Jessops are useless, I ordered a camera for my wedding online when it was 'instock' only to discover their was over a 3 week lead time and no promises I would actually get it even then... they were unsympathetic and unhelpful- given the amount of money I was spending this was deeply dispapointing- rubbish, rubbish, rubbish brand and service- will never use them again. ...
