[Paul]

By no means an exhaustive list, just a few I have come across.

7
7 day shop (http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_4_401_40106&products_id=9083) Great for consumables

B
B&H Photo Video (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/) - not a UK store but one of the US stores always quoted in their reviews, a resource if not anything else.

C
Camera Price Buster (http://camerapricebuster.co.uk/) - this is not a shop per se, more of a resource to let you see where you can get the cheapest price from a few other shops.
Camera World (http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/)
Crooked Imaging (http://www.crookedimaging.com/shop/) ,great for bits and bobs.
Cotswold Photo (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/cotswoldphoto&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID) - light stand swivels and other odd bits and bobs

W
Warehouse express (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/Home/default.aspx) - General online store

Please feel free to add.

As always, keep any strong opinions to yourself about the retailers. At the moment there is no competitive interest with board sponsors, however, if in the future a photography supplier decides to sponsor the forum, then this list may have to be pulled.

Just had a good experience of Lenses for Hire and also Park cameras (added to the list)

LCE, bought quite a few good things there. There is a website http://www.lcegroup.co.uk/, and i think some things you can buy online. However mostly its the shops, and they are all over England and many of them are very nice with lots of stock. On the website you can search for specific stock and it will show you which store has it.

A couple of useful Ebay sellers that I can recommend:

Kerso (http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/FLASH-CAMERA__W0QQ_armrsZ1) - for third party Canon batteries (ahh.. he's already on the list)

HK Yongnuo photo equipment (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/hkyongnuophotoequipment&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID) - wireless flash/shutter triggers

Cotswold Photo (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/cotswoldphoto&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID) - light stand swivels and other odd bits and bobs


I wouldn't include Jessops on a recommended list.

I wouldn't include Jessops on a recommended list.

It's in there as a) good general resource/overview for equipment b) a price comparison for the other websites and c) for it's usefulness for online printing. Granted it's not the best shop around, but it's certainly a resource.

^^ jessops wanted 2 months to deliver my lens, gave up and went for warehouse express, much better service, and only and hours drive from me :)

Printing.. another one I'd forgotten..

DS Colour Labs (http://www.dscolourlabs.co.uk/) - good quality prints on Fujifilm printers, very reasonably priced.


DP Review (http://www.dpreview.com/) - equipment news and the latest news from the manufacturers (owned by Amazon).
