I have spent over £40k on e-finity alone. People say what if, what if what it...
I have 3 cameras in my bag. if I'm at a wedding, I use 2 and the 3rd is a spare. If i got to jessops, wex, or somewhere else, I would only have 2 cameras for the price of those 3. e finity, i get 3 cameras for the price of 2. IF, I repeat, IFFFFF 1 camera dies and IFFFF they dont cover warranty (they do), i could throw 1 camera in the bin and still have 2 to use on the day (when i actually need it).
Had 2 issues with lenses so far (basic stuff like loose zoom ring after heavy use) and they offered to get it sorted for me and i prompt them if i could order one myself instead and they offered me to pay for the cost/shipping of any parts I needed if I preferred.
Can't complain so far
Now out of dozens of thousands spent on camera gear i ordered ONCE from Jessops. Pre-order, 1 month before release, the day it arrived at the shop, i gone straight to the shop at 9.30 am to collect my PRE-ORDER, when i get home, the box's seal is broken and the lens is covered in finger prints, literally, my pre-ordered lens collected on arrival date had been used as a display item that morning before i collected. THat's BS.
All my grey imports arrived sealed (unless they open to include a uk plug adapter or something) and are all new. My single order from a UK retailer, i got a handled/used item instead of new.
For all the "WHAT IFS", remember these shops accept paypal. if you have issues, open a ticket, paypal always sides with the buyer. even with proof of postage. the end.
