Although I've heard great things about this shop, I must admit I was a bit disappointed to find…read morethat it sells mostly second hand equipment. When I asked if they had the new Nikon DSLR that I was interested in, they just said rather abruptly that they didn't have it there was no offer to get one for me or a suggestion of where else I could look for it. I think the outside of the shop ought to say that it stocks mostly (or all?) second hand gear. Having said that, it may well be the best place to pick up bargains but I can only rate it so far on my limited experience. It's open Mon-Sat 10.00am-5.00pm, closed Sundays.

Got yourself a proper, non point and shoot camera and need some gear/advice then this may well be the joint you've been looking for. Now in all honesty, in terms of Cameras i'm probably in the former category listed above, however while popping in here for a quick nosey, its hard not to be impressed by the array of new and old Cameras they have on display. And i bet they actually know what there talking about as well..

Completely the opposite to my experience. I've bought cameras from Jessops in Dumfries on three…read moreseparate occasions (a DSLR, the cheapest digital in the shop and one in between) and have had great service every time. I live in London but am in the Dumfries area often - and I now wait until I'm up there as I find the staff in the Dumfries branch so helpful. They're also great for really daft queries and never talk to you as though you're stupid. Sorry you had a bad experience, but generally they're great.

We had a great time working with John during my sons photo shoot. We chose the package that…read morerequired my son to come in for a session every three months until he turned one! John did a great job at capturing lots of smiles and paid very close attention to detail of his little hands, feet and lashes. He also made us feel at ease and super comfortable when it came time to take some family portraits. The whole atmosphere in the studio is happy relaxed and warm and he really is amazing at his craft. The quality of the actual portraits and photo albums are also phenomenal. Not only are the photos striking but the quality of paper and ink are phenomenal. I feel like they'll all be in superb condition in years to come. Couldn't recommend John Hendry enough! Will def be coming back when I have my second.

I posted in the camera for about £7-8 insured delivery from memory. I then waited over 4 months for the service, and they charged an extra £15 for delivery. Disappointing, especially after (a) specifically asking for an all-in quotation and (b) waiting over a third of a year for the service to be completed with what should surely be a standard item they should always have in stock

Not only should children stay clear of my cherished DSLR but so should my Mum…read more.. Upon arriving at my Dad's birthday dinner, I realised my mum had decided to bring my camera along and had also accidentally smashed the screen into pieces on the way. Needless to say I wasn't in a celebratory mood and felt like shedding some tears into my minestrone starter and to be fair I'm sure Mags (the culprit) did too. Since I work in town this place was the most convenient so I set off on lunch to find out the damage to my camera and my... no actually Mags' purse. The staff were great. My camera was taken through the back and two minutes later I was told the LCD screen looked fine, it was just the glass protector that was ruined and would I mind if they removed it then and there. Feeling like a bit of a drama queen from the night before, but also like doing a dance at the same time, I agreed. Another two minutes went by and my camera was handed back to me looking good as new and I was told I'd be able to buy a glass protector online and reattach it myself. Although a short and sweet service the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Having been in the business for over 40 years I would definitely trust them with my camera should anything happen again. But since Mags is only allowed to use a disposable camera for the foreseeable future, it shouldn't. Love you really Mum :)

HOW HAVE YOU SENT ME BACK THE SAME BROKEN PAIR!!!!…read more WTF IS GOING ON?!!! I've come home to my neighbour giving me back the same box with the same BROKEN PAIR that I sent back to you yesterday!!!! How is this actually possible!?!?????? I've now redacted all information on the box except for the DPD delivery number so they have no chance of getting confused. That's the only thing I can possibly imagine has happened... Despite it having their bloody sticker with a new barcode on the front! Could you please, PLEASE just send ANOTHER person to collect this stupid broken pair of binoculars again. This is such a waste of time, not just mine but everyone involved. So much petrol used for nothing... Waste is the key word here and me and my fiancé are actually so disappointed. Worst gift ever in my honest opinion, never had so much stress over something so simple. Just gimme a full refund tbh, I can't be bothered anymore. You win Jessop's, we'll tbf there are no winners here at all. Especially not my fiancé who's honestly had the most shambles of a gift ever. I've included some more pictures and video to show me proving it's the same broken pair. The same pair that doesn't zoom, has a ripped open part of the case, and a completely detached right lens (which I have since screwed back in as it was easier to repackage) HERE's MY ACTUAL REVIEW: My body physically aches, especially my neck with the amount of facepalming, pacing, stress, and anger I've had to deal with because of this crappy company. Worst gift giving experience of my entire life so far. Long story short, DON'T ever buy anything online from Jessop's. Ordered before Christmas, it's now been nearly a month since I ordered and it's ARRIVED DAMAGED, then returned BROKEN IN HALF, then the same broken pair was sent back to me, then sent away and made it way back to me for a third time. Still no response from either Csjessops.com or csresolutionsjessops.com outraged by the amount of time I've had wasted, a 7am-5pm collection slot (4 separate occasions now) for a pair of binoculars that arrived broken in half. Also Ive still been left in the dark with regards to what the solution is, I keep only getting umms and arrs about what they should do coz this is clearly such a massive fk up. I just want either a new pair or a refund and it's still such a struggle for them to even approve that and let me know what the outcome is. Nobody knows how to resolve this problem because not a soul has even tried to send me a new pair yet. They won't send you the goods you've ordered UNTIL they receive the broken goods back, now normally this would make sense, especially if the product can be resold or refurbished. The pair I received couldn't even zoom in, the zoom arm was completely jammed and the focus was never syncing... It's almost like one of the lens has been completely detached and forcibly been put back together again. It also came to me in a box labeled KITE PACKAGING.CO.UK so I know it was some other users broken pair that was sent back too, how the fk it ended up at my house, not once, not twice but three times due to Jessop's and DPD being incapable of delivery services. If you like being left in the dark, receiving countless broken or completly destroyed food then Jessop's is the place for you. Just make sure you take some Kalms or summin before you try and sort anything out with them. It WILL be a very stressful experience. Good luck. Oh, and wish me luck too! Haha ‍

One day a couple of months ago, I was handed a ten-year-old camera by my then boss and instructed…read moreto get it working. She'd taken it out of the loft that morning, and it was covered in dust and dirt. I took it and headed into Jessops on Sauchiehall Street. The member of staff I dealt with was really helpful, and was completely understanding when I explained what I wanted. He didn't even flinch a the sight of the old camera, and tactfully pretended not to notice the dust. He found new batteries and a new film and even tested the whole thing out for me. I left ten minutes later with the camera working. So yes, Jessops might not be the cheapest camera shop - but I think the service more than makes up for this.

As a keen amateur photographer, I've become very familiar with Snappy Snaps on Byres Road…read more Their main custom is in developing photos from digital and film however they offer many other services: they take passport photos, they will put your photos onto mugs, bags and the likes, they will restore old damaged photos, they will put your photo on a big canvas and can even make it look Andy-Warhol esq. They also have a small selection of photo albums and photo frames. The small shop can sometimes get busy however the staff are friendly, efficient, and seem to know their stuff. If like me you struggle with their 'do it yourself' developing machines (ok, I know most people don't, but for the less techo-savy of us), they will happily assist you. My only complaints are that the company should consider changing its hideous green and yellow colour scheme and that they should have better advertised their 10% student discount; after spending a fair bit of moula in this shop over the last couple of years, I've only just recently noticed the 10% Student Discount sign (I've just graduated!).

I needed to have a few US sized passport photos taken and I wasn't sure where I was going to get…read morethis type of picture taken. After googling, I realised Snappy Snaps is just around the corner from my Uni, so I was able to pop in in between classes and have these pictures taken. The process was pretty simple and pain free- all in it took about 5 minutes to process, I paid and I was on my way. The staff were super friendly and packaged my wee pictures in a take away holder and I was off. I'm not exactly sure how much passport photos cost- but I was ok with paying £9.99 as I now know I won't be knocked back by the American Embassy in London for having the wrong sized photos. Hooray! I recommend this place for all your passport picture needs.
