Hertford Cameras
Has anyone used Hertford Cameras on Bull Plain and if so are they any good? I'm on the lookout for a new dslr and having this be my first venture into the 'proper' camera market need some good advice.[?]

Will you be looking to hang it from a radio controlled helicopter ?

I used them once to clean the sensor on my old dSLR, they weren't the cheapest but were the most convenient, quite friendly service. I always have a good look through the window on our way to the Barge. I imagine they'll be able to offer you quite a lot of advice.

Not sure if they are stockists for all brands. As a dedicated Canon fan they did not stock Canon DSLR's at the time I upgraded to digital but that may have changed.
You will get good advice though without a doubt.

I was a regular visitor there 30 odd years ago when I was really into photography and had my own darkroom.
I would recommend them for advice. I think there is a Mr Matthews who works there not sure if he is the manager but I think he has been there for 25 or more years. I seem to recall he has a C&G in photography.
So they are a long established local shop and I am sure they are good for advice but I don’t know how large a range of DSLR’s they carry or how they compare with th large national chains and the net.
I suppose it depends how much you want to spend and do you want to support a local shop?

I popped in there the other day when I got a chance, incredibly helpful and they say they can get most bits of kit - time to break open the piggy bank!
It was a good video wasn't it Donostia? I'm not sure how th 'elf n safety brigade would react to low flying, camera dangling aircraft in Hertford though!
