    Thanks to the digital revolution, decent independent camera shops are becoming increasingly few and far between. Luckily Bristol Cameras is in a great location on the corner of St Nicks Market, on High Street, keeping the likes of Jessops and Boots at bay. Selling a wide range of new and used products, from digital to manual, I first came across this store looking for Polaroid film after the company stopped producing the film and stocks ran out a couple of years ago. Unfortunately they couldn't help but did suggest other places and products I could try. Now Bristol Cameras services my craving for trying to understand my own digital SLR. The staff here know their stuff and are not biased towards any particular brand. They have shown me how to get the best out of my camera and fix mild problems without having to go direct to the manufacturer. I sometimes feel a little silly for requiring an explanation of basic buttons and techniques but the staff in here always put my fears at ease.

    They used to be in the smaller shop on the corner or high st and corn st. Now they have moved next door to a bigger shop that used to be a solicitors. I think as camera shops go these are very good, the staff are nice and there is always someone there who can help you. They have competitive prices and lots of stock on site.

    Mmm...so many beautiful cameras. The window display alone is enough to get me dribbling on the…read morewindow, but today I actually went into double check the price of a camera I am looking to buy (if you are a Yelp Fan and reading this Father Christmas I want the Olympus Pen E-P2, Pleeeaassee! I'll be really good). They actually have one of the best ranges of cameras in Bristol, with an excellent selection of the more affordable and older second hand cameras & lenses to the brand spanking new, stunningly beautiful and expensive cameras that you see in ads on the TV during the commercial breaks for big expensive movies. I believe the best way to sum up their range is using prices, £200 - £2,000 +. But they have all the Canons, Panasonics, Nikons etc and the staff are very knowledgeable about the different cameras, which is a hell of a lot more than you can say for some larger electrical goods store chains. They also buy & sell cameras so you can trade yours in for an upgrade.

    London Camera Exchange doesn't look too much from the outside but don't let appearances put you…read moreoff. They have managed to cram a lot in here considering the size of the place so it will probably take a good half hour to browse all they have to offer. I love anything to do with taking photos. My Facebook has over 150 albums (they must hate me!) therefore I like to think I know what I am talking about! Having said that the staff were able to teach me a thing or to about which cameras are good indoors/outdoors/underwater/skiiing. In fact if you have any camera needs, check this place out as they know what they are on about and the prices are really competitive.

    Back in the day when I had time to take interest in the stars, I bought a really good pair of…read morebinoculars with the help of the friendly staff at Jacobs on Whiteladies Road. I've been in a few branches of this shop, but I've yet to find one where the staff are both friendly, helpful and accommodating. Obviously, they've got the usual range of Jacobs equipment, from cameras through to torches, but the staff really do make this branch stand out above the rest. They'll take the time to let you try out each model they've got in stock so that you know you've got the one that's right for you. There seems to be a particular focus on tripods in here too, as a large part of the floor space is taken up with tripods - you know where to go if you're in need of one of them.

    As far as camera shops go this place is ok. Where it loses ground on so many of the other stores in…read moreBristol is it's variety of lenses. With places such as the camera exchange offering a vast amount of new and pre-owned lenses from Sigma's to Sony's, from fish eyes to massive zoom lenses. Thats not to say there is anything wrong with jacobs, it's just that the stock on offer isn't as wide as some people would hope. There's not just camera's in here, you can find mini-dv and digital camcorders as well as a variety of camera excesories and films, very helpful if you want to resist the digital revolution as much as possible and keep faith with the good old fashioned cameras.

    I absolutely adore this small stall from the covered section of St Nicholas Market. Inside the…read moremodest wooden boxes on Memories stalls sit prints of black and white photographs dating back over 100 years. There are pictures of Bristol's city centre, Bath and everywhere in between to peruse through and mentally compare the difference between the ages. Ranging from £8 to £20 per print (more if you opt for a framed picture) I feel it's a reasonable price to pay to own a copy of local history. I love searching out photographs of places I've worked or lived and seeing what they looked like all those years ago. Nerdy? Or a bit of innocent fun? You decide! It's a great stall to visit whether you're a local or tourist to get a flavour of Bristol in a bygone era.

    Want to hop in my time machine...no I'm not Dr Who, I'm just visiting Memories down in St Nick's…read moreMarket. Actually I am Dr Who now get in my box Amy Pond...anyway... I have actually been down to Memories on quite a few occasions to have a look at Bristol over the years; it almost seems so much more beautiful and wonderful. I suppose if you were going to photograph it now on an average weekday you'd probably catch a group of students staggering out of what used to a beautiful building and is now an Aussie theme pub. But all the beautiful old photography is arranged into locations alphabetically e.g. if you're from Clifton, Clutton or Clevedon you can get digging and try and find that photo of your house from the 1860s (as my friend did, he obviously bought that image immediately). The photos usually set you back around £8.00 each, at least they did when I wrote this, unless you want a much larger version of the photo then the costs rise. But I was only half joking about the time machine; looking at the images is like a taking a brilliant tour of Bristol though the ages gone by and as you whizz around Bristol in the the 19th century, you might just learn an awful lot about this beautiful city.

    Nobody prints their photos anymore! Apparently Facebook tagging them is enough. But this shop…read moreoffers such a hassle free, friendly service I really should get more than the odd one printed. It's not like it used to be, taking that roll of film out the back of your old camera, literally wearing surgical gloves to avoid finger prints and blocking the sunlight at all costs. Well here at my local printing shop they have those nifty do-it-yourself machines with mini SD slots, or USB ports and even Bluetooth etc. so you don't have to get the whole roll of thirty rubbish photos printed just for that one that came out quite well. The staff are so friendly and helpful and it really is such a cheap, quick and easy process to get your photos printed, in fact there's a cheap Christmas present for Gran sorted. They also offer a canvas wrapping service, where they'll stretch your image over a canvas so you can hang it on your wall.

They go out of their way to help customers, printing perfect pictures each time - and if they're not perfect, they'll spend that little bit extra time trying to make them perfect. It's quite a small shop, and they stock a large variety of albums and photo frames on the main part of the floor. In the centre of the shop there's two computer hubs, where you can plug in a memory device of some sort and print your photos fast from the machine. Their main focus, though, is the traditional print services of a photographic shop. As I said, I've never been disappointed with the service or quality of the finished product, and I've consistently been impressed with the shop. Definitely give them a go next time you need some holiday snaps developing.
