Yeah, but only on DSLRs. They won't match accessories, lenses etc unless you buy them with the camera body.
The policy seems to mysteriously change between stores.

I don't buy from them on principle anyway - they're still selling memory cards at rip off prices. Usually double what you'd pay online, which is inexcuseable IMO. They've become the Dixons of photography. They used to be a brilliant photography shop - I got my first SLR there when I was a kid. A "Centon" Minolta clone. What happened? :-(

Took these with a green felcher yesterday:

Make things look eerily pretty in my opinion. Well worth the £13.

The observant amongst you will notice I just started a new thread on this very topic, as I'm a computard. What bothers me most of all is reading this reminded me that I'd already read it, about two days ago... Silly Tandino! Anyway, information is useful, thank you!

Picked this up through Lifehacker, quite an interesting read. <a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5160891/giz-explai ... hotos">Giz Explains: Why Lenses Are the Real Key to Stunning Photos</a>

I don't even care about them, but this is fascinating.

Pissing hell. I can see why the cost so much now. Top video.

I can't help but think that's quite an old way of doing it, like early 90's, but even so, fascinating!

I do love the "how stuff is made" series that is on Discovery and other similar channels.

That is surprisingly interesting.

I wonder if the fact that the one on my old phone had a massive crack right across it affected the image quality?

Not if you only take photos of bums.
