I'm not so sure you save much there, but you can at least have a go with things - get a feel of them etc.

Does that include the models?
To be honest not really.
What you generally get is high street people giving 'show special' prices which in reality end up being sort of the same ballpark as the better online retailers.
If you're thinking of buying some new gear anyway there is no reason not to get it at focus but you won't save a fortune.
Quote: Simple, write down the cheapest price you can find online from reputable online store, then take it down to Focus and see if there is any saving.
Or look up the price on camerapricebuster there on your smartphone/netbook, show them and ask them to beat the price. You never know, they might - at least you can save yourself the postage & packing, and the worry over what's going to go wrong with the delivery or receiving a faulty unit.
Not exactly kit.
When I used to go they had a very good "Book" stand with a massive selection on almost every photographic topic.
At least you could flick through them before buying, something that cannot be done on the internet.
So books, I would suggest, is something worth looking at / buying.
You can get some good deals from smaller companies. I got a mount cutter that was 20% cheaper than I'd seen anywhere else, including ebay.
Some of the refurbished or "B" grade stock can be good value, but as has been said, make a note beforehand of the cheapest online price
Thinking about it for a while longer,, i did get a bargain one year, the battery grip for my D80.. YXTK or something like that, lol,, nikon was £200 ish, but they were only £34 and it has everything the nikon one has, and has worked flawlessly for about 4 years.
They have a stand there normally that has them all on.
