Bought a Nikon D5000 with 18-55 and 55-200mm VR Twin Lens Kit from Jessops in Edinburgh today. Very pleased with it at £499 a pretty good deal. Got home and opened it up, all seemed wrapped up and packaged as you'd expect with a new camera. Unwrapped the body and discovered theres an SD memory card in the slot - hmmm theres not supposed to be a memory card included in the kit. take the memory card out and it has label on it with "passport camera" handwritten on it. Put the battery in to check if there's anything on it - there are 12 shots, some of the inside of the store and some of the street outside as viewed from inside the store. A bit put out by this. The Edinburgh Jessops store has a passport photo service. Have I been given the camera they've been using to take peoples passport pictures, packed up and re-wrapped as though new. Or have they perhaps just used this SD card to "test" the camera and forgotten to take it out? Either way clearly the camera has been out of its packaging and in someone else's hands and used before they sold it to me. Going to be a trip back to the store tomorrow - was hoping for a straight forward purchase as well - alas not to be. -
Hi everyone, My expensive DSLR camera was damaged (completely kaput) by a leak dripping from the flat above mine. My Landlord says I should claim on my insurance. Is this right? I thought, since the damage was caused by a leak in their property, it should be their insurance. They don't deny the leak but say there is no proof my camera was damaged by said leak. They might have a point but I'd like their insurance people to deal with it, even if to say the same thing (I thought that was what we paid them for). Anyone know what my rights are in this? Thanks in advance for any advice. -
What to do??? My 10 day old Panasonic GF1 camera was got water damage due to a flood from the flat above, (something in tank broke) this was just an accident however, I had to claim on my own insurance (Allianz) for replacement. I had to send the camera of for tem to inspect. They now say they can repair it but the agony I have is the it was purchased on the 15th Jan with a 3 year warranty, this will now be void due to the water damage, the repairers says they will fit original parts but then only guarantee their work for 30 days. I sent it to them to confirm that this was a genuine claim I did not expect them to take it apart and repair it. I have read various reports of water damage being repaired to electrical items and then other faults occurring. Am I worrying about nothing or is there a way I can request an exact replacement? Looking forward to you thoughts. DO I go ahead with authorising a repair as I was
