Comments on: So which new camera? http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2006/11/24/so-which-new-camera/ The life and education of two growing beans - our 10th year of blogging Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:18:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.34 By: Chris http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2006/11/24/so-which-new-camera/#comment-3429 Sat, 25 Nov 2006 13:07:30 +0000 http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2006/11/24/so-which-new-camera/#comment-3429 Tim – prices elsewhere are irrelevant really since we have to use the vouchers in Jessops shops.

Chris – no we can’t use them with price matching, or discount offers etc. We have to buy at the normal shop selling price. Which is fair enough really I guess since the voucher value is arrived at using the normal selling price of the products. They based it on the A630 as a replacement – and used the value of the normal selling price of ?268.99 – on jessops.com for 219 and I could probably get it for ?185 from the web. ditto Memory cards – they’ve costed it at ?75 for 3×256 MB Sandisk SD cards when you can buy a 1GB card for under ?20 elsewhere. so seings and roundabout really.

Basically we have ?368 of vouchers to replace the camera, cards and bag from Jessops,.

I’m wondering if high speed SD cards are worth it for this camera – a couple of the reviews I read have implied it. but it seems hard to find hard figures on it.

Jessops internet arm sell the IS710 for ?195 (plus postage). Jessops scheme will see you it for that (minus 10 per cent of the difference) so long as in stock at both. Just take a print out along with a phone number they can ring to check stock on.

Might be useful. Recommended something very similar to the IS710 (possibly the IS700) to Kirsty and James this week also suggested looking at the lumix range.

Imaging Resource seem to think it is a winner.

It does say who posted it. But only on the main blog page i’ve noticed, when you view an individual post it doesn’t. I’m sure it used to.
