Best place in Manchester for 35mm film developing!…read more Cheaper and better quality prints than boots, jessops etc. Lady and man that work there are very friendly and the 1 hour processing is v reliable, one time they even spent extra time tweaking the exposure (probably not the correct terminology I'm not familiar with the process of developing prints) on some prints from very dodgy expired film that I took in, so I got better photos at the end for no extra price. If you want affordable, good prints and friendly service this is the place to go! Been going for 2 years and really missed it when I moved out of Manchester for a while - definitely recommend.

Its good to have a camera shop though, rather than just shopping online. Firstly, the most obvious benefit is that you get to actually hold the cameras and see if you like the feel of them before buying. Another benefit is that if you're anything like me, and you don't know much about cameras at all, you'll be able to ask someone to help you, which you obviously cannot do online. However, though I haven't researched it, it might be that its cheaper online. So you may want to go in and decide, then check the prices online. But then again, that feels a bit harsh on the little shop. They also do other camera related services such as passport photos.

Jessops in Manchester is located at the end of Market Street, near enough opposite two large stores…read morein Debenhams and Primark, although this store is dwarfed by both of them, it is still quite a large store, over three floors. After passing Jessops on countless occasions as a frequent visitor to the city centre of Manchester, I thought I'd call in today to take a quick look around the store, especially with it recently re-opening after the refurbishment. The digital photo printing machines were okay, they still were slightly old and didn't stand out, they didn't seem as posh, vibrant and up to date, they just lacked, which one wouldn't expect from a store of this kind. The staff seemed a little too helpful, which was annoying, there was too many staff and they all seemed overally enthusiastic even when one member of staff had asked if I could help, someone else did, which I can't understand, it felt like the staff were trying to out-do each other and trying to run a pool out of which one the customers prefer. There is a small lift and staircase connecting the floors, however, i remained on the ground floor, the ground floor was slightly small and I would have preferred everything to be on one floor for ease. There was a small, decent range of cameras, I'm not a photographer and with my excellent camera on my Iphone 7 Plus, which is amazing the photos it can capture, I sadly don't feel the need for this expensive equipment with my phone but obviously there is a small market for it now, it is actually ironic Apple often use the space above this store and Market Street to advertise their phones and products including the camera. Overall, slightly frustrating service and other issues mentioned, I sadly feel this branch of Jessops only warrants a slightly generous two star rating.

They really are utterly useless…read more They claim to be experts in photography...........and yet their staff in the Manchester branch are beyond clueless - you really have to do your own research - don't ask them for help - they just "guess". And although this can be quite amusing it is quite annoying if you actually want advice on a camera. They are VERY overpriced. They claim to price match the competition which makes you think "Ah this is going to be a good deal"......but no.....it turns out they won't match any of the other local camera shops.....let alone Amazon (Amazon was ALOT cheaper). Delivery time.....lets say you get past the cluesness and the overpicedness and buy something from them and think "sod it I'm here now". Don't expect anything they claim will "get delivered the next day" to show up anytime soon.......or indeed at all.......infact they won't even tell you when it will show up. Will your new camera arrive tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in a year......who knows. Well maybe they do know but they sure as hell won't share that information with you. Now onto the good stuff.......they LOVE their insurance. It's very hard to talk to them about anything without them trying to charge you extra to insure it. Camera, Lens, Memory Card, Bag of Crisps a set of photographic dog turd bags. You name it they want to sell you insurance for it. And they don't like "no" as an answer. Honestly don't bother. Wex Photography are just down the road and they have people who have not only have seen a camera before but actually know how it works (and they are much cheaper).

Internet Café wise, there are five or six terminals with partitions so that people can't see what you're saying to your long-distance girlfriend on yahoo messenger.

And if you're stuck and in a rush, it's worth noting that Photo Express will also do you six passport photos for £4 and you won't have to sit in a horrible booth interacting with an annoying machine in some horrible corner of a train station to get it done.

Developers of the first ever-portable rangefinder camera that revolutionised photojournalism and made famous by such greats as Henri Cartier-Bresson, here you will find cabinets full of cameras old and new, from antique and collectable 35mm cameras to the most modern digital models. One small catch - you'll need to max out your overdraft to afford anything. Still, it is veritable eye candy if you are a budding photographer, and the man in the shop was most friendly and even valued an old Canon camera my boyfriend found in a charity shop free of charge.
