can,t believe you said that who would work in a camera shop and not be interested in photography:shrug:
I work in insurance and have absolutely no interest in the industry whatsoever.
I bought my D60 from my local Jessops (Kingston) despite the sales assistant not being at all convincing when trying to explain the differences between that and the A350 (I knew sod all other than how to shoot a P&C at the time, seems he knew even less as he sold me completely the wrong filter sizes). I was looking to buy a couple of lenses a few weeks later but they had no interest in matching a price that was just £20 less, and they came across as having a couldn't care less attitude.
There's only one person in there who knows his onions, but the problem with these stores, like many other retail outlets, is that the sales staff don't care. It's not a long term job for most of them as they're just earning a bit part time while at college etc, and if you get the wrong type of sales assistant, it can put you off the whole brand for good.
