    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).
