Review on Jessops by Josh Moore

I wanted to share with you my dissatisfaction of dealing with this company, as I'm sure there are people out there looking to buy something from them and would like to know that they might not be getting their goods or a refund straight away!

So what's the problem?!



Well.. I bought a camera from Jessops about 3 months ago, yes it was quite an expensive one, but I saved up for it and felt that it would be fun for all occasions. The model of camera is: Canon Powershot SX 100 IS  digital  camera and has many features such as: 12x optical zoom 28 wide angle lens 2.5" lcd display optical image stabiliser wide range of ISO settings, etc.

I had saved for quite a while to get this camera, and was pretty excited when it arrived, however I soon realised that it wasn't all what I thought it would be.. I soon took back the Canon Powershot SX 100 IS  digital  camera that day, still in new condition with everything inside of the box (this includes software, leads, protective case - which was never used)

So why did I return the product after only having it for one day?

Well let me tell you some reasons why..

The auto focus didn't seem to have so much "auto" about it! As people who have cameras or are familiar with how they work know, as soon as you point it at an object (or person) the camera should focus and ready itself for a photo to be taken. However with this camera I had constantly to press down on the screen in order for something to become focused. I got quite irritated after some time of doing this, as it was supposed to be automatic and not require me pressing anything (I'm sure if you know much about cameras there is usually one on/off button on the top of them).

The next thing that annoyed me about my new Canon Powershot SX 100 IS  digital  camera was how slow it took photos! Yes, yes.. I know most modern digital cameras these days take ages for photos especially once they have such a large memory storage, but this camera was really bad. Even if you pressed the shutter button once, sometimes it wouldn't take a photo, other times it would lock up and not let you do anything at all.. Kind of like how computers used to be when they were first released, which I do miss actually!

In fact one day my friend came over with her little Kodak compact digital camera which didn't have any fancy features such as autofocus or high speeds etc.. however she did a better job at taking a photo than me on my more expensive Canon Powershot SX 100 IS  digital  camera! This made me realise that I needed to get my money back from buying this product.

The final reason why I returned the camera was because of the microphone! The microphone is probably one of the most important parts of a digital camera, as it records sound which you will be able to hear later on when viewing your photos. Well my Canon Powershot SX 100 IS  digital  camera had quite poor quality sound recordings! On playback I couldn't even hear anything that was recorded clearly.. Of course there are ways around this by buying an external mic, but this adds extra cost and hassle to using your Digital Camera.

I wanted to share my experience with the company Jessops because I think it's important for people to know that this may happen when they buy from them. The Canon Powershot SX 100 IS  digital  camera had many problems, and was not worth buying. There are other models of camera you can choose from at a cheaper price which have better features too! When I took back the product, I found out about their return policy- if you don't want what you bought or there is a problem with it, then you need to take care of getting your money back yourself.
