So glad to have arrived early and had a chance to walk in and be treated to a wealth of knowledge on vintage cameras and service with patience and a smile. The proprietor is a wonderful gentleman who takes his time to explain details and the history of the vintage cameras he sells. I wound up buying a Minolta Minox and hope to some day bring home a Leica III he has in excellent condition

Amazing service. Popped in with a old film camera I found in the attic and not used for over 40…read moreyears. Had it checked overed and given details on how to use the camera.

If I could give a big fat ZERO i would, but i'll just have to settle for 1 star for now…read more Rude and hostile are the only ways to describe the man i spoke to. I asked to have a look at a camera, in which he gave a deep sigh before doing so (like a bloody teenager who couldn't be bothered) i asked about what functions it had and was met with rolled back eyes and a obligated/forced answer. Before leaving he said "i wouldn't want to be a showroom for some one else" I understand where he's coming from and i would rather give my money to a small high street business, however after the teenage and rude attitude he gave me (especially for a man of his age i would expect he would learn some manners) he practically pushed me out the door himself, NO WAY am i giving my money to a man like that. You just lost £500 quid to Jessops! from which may i add i had an outstanding service from!

Centre point is an independent camera shop that caters for every angle of photography. The guys…read morehere are friendly and happy to dispense sound advice to photographers at all levels. They seem to have a relatively intuitive nature about them which makes then sufficiently customer focused to talk to you with the right level of technical information. In short they don't bamboozle you with things you don't understand but it's clear straight off the bat that they know their stuff. Their range of stock is good too though leaning more to the digital side of photography, they have in store development facilities and stock a selection of frames. Which is not only ideal for those of us who are so proud of our shots we want them framed, but also good if you just want to do justice to a print. Price wise I've found Centre Point to be surprisingly cheap for a shop of its nature. You can doubtlessly find most of the stuff in here cheaper on line or in some of the bigger chains but considering the level of one to one advice available in here I think you buy into a little more than just the camera.

If you're visiting Brighton for a few days and want to take a bit of the seaside away with you,…read moreforget filling your pockets with stones from the beach. They're too heavy and they'll make your suitcase smell really salty. Instead, go to Zoing Images and treat yourself to a photo printed onto canvas. They have cool images of the pier, the amusement arcade, the the seagulls, the West Pier and lots more. All the images are available as mini canvases or triptychs and they also offer a service where you can get your own photo blown up as art. If you don't fancy a print, they also stock wall and desk clocks, perspex blocks, photo books and an impressive range of Polaroid and Lomo cameras. Personally, I'm after the limited edition, Jack White Lomo. Anyone got a spare few hundred dollars?

If I lived in Brighton I'd finally get good at using my lomo camera. Know why? Zoing Image…read more Why doesn't London have anything like this? Just spending ten minutes in this small, friendly shop last week browsing through the piles of arty photo books, impressive range of Lomography cameras and accessories and mini canvases for printing inspired me so much I dusted off my Holga as soon as I got home and have been snapping away with renewed vigour ever since. Imagine if it was my local camera shop! Oh, the money I'd spend... On my way out I congratulated Serge, the owner of the shop, on his choice of stock and particularly the use of mini canvases for customised printing. Instead of paying £50+ to get one image put on a medium canvas, get a series of three on smaller canvases for less than £20. Since finding Serge on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34875369@N08/) I've discovered that the shop was primarily opened as a way for him to sell his own images, but allowing people to get involved with their own photos is a great idea. I foolishly didn't think to ask if they do regular printing in the shop and the website is currently under construction, but next time I'm in Brighton I'll take along a few medium format films and see what Zoing can do for me. A shop like this is yet another great reason to spend time at the seaside, hurrah!

This is one of those photo booths you find littered around many areas of the country, charging a…read moreridiculously overpriced fee for customers to have a photo taken of themselves. Usually used by those in need of a passport-sized photo for some official document or other, and drunks, who are willing to pay the gross £4 service charge.

Absolutely awful! Do not go here!…read more 3 weeks ago I submitted 2 rolls of 120 (medium format) film to be developed and scanned to a disk. Rather than the 48 hour develop and print time, this ended up taking 2 and a half weeks due to a "problem" actually meaning they had a re-fit. They were supposed to re-open on the 2nd but instead this was pushed back till the 6th of Jan 2014. Collected the disk and negatives BUT for only one film as the other had been completely exposed and so destroyed...shocking. Got home looked at the disk and to my horror the way they had been scanned was disgraceful. Rather than the full 15 images scanned, only around 4 were with each picture repeated on the disk around four times. The quality of these scans were abysmal...all had a strong green tone to them making them look Edwardian...they had also been bizarrely cropped (for no reason) cutting the top&bottom of the images and replacing them with a black border (due to poor scanning skills). It was an extremely poor and rushed job with no real intention/care for the duty. Took my negatives to be re-scanned at THE VAULT, in Brighton and when they saw they said the negatives were under-exposed by Colour-stream. They continued to re-scan the negatives and after this we saw the images when scanned properly and to high standard were covered in dust particles. This is due to a lack of care when handling and positioning the negatives. It could also be due to the new equipment they have used. So now the negatives have to be washed and re-scanned. What was supposed to be a 48-hour development and print/scan has now turned into a 3 week + turmoil. Ridiculous. Will never use Colourstream ever again, I advise you not to also. Go to somewhere efficient with staff who enjoy their job.

The prices though I dislike quite severely. It'll cost you £4 for all of the above, which, personally I think is a little steep considering all you're getting is a tiny photo.
