Re: Store chain closure

[Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to buy things from Jessops, but now I shop at Robertwhite.co.uk. Ask for Jon. It’s not the disappearance of the digital camera but the lack of supplies needed to feed it. Stores made a lot of money on film and batteries  too.

Hi, another local (to the uk) chain of photographic equipment retailers have
closed down. Jessops. I bought nearly all my stuff there. It is a sign that
the digital camera is fading away to be replaced with the phone with a
digital camera. I expect camera phones will get sophisticated with optical
zoom lenses and other features of classical cameras. They could be made into
glasses with thought control or something so we will all become cyborgs...
