Argos Cameras Are Cheaper On Amazon UK

I'm in the market for a new camera so have been looking around on various websites looking for the cheapest prices of certain cameras. Two that I've had my eye on for a while on Amazon UK have been the Sony DSCH400 Bridge Camera and the Sony Cyber-shot HX300 Bridge Camera. So out came a new Argos mini Catalogue with all the updated prices for 2018, supposedly "lower prices" for the run up to Christmas. Straight to the camera pages I went, expecting for the prices to be cheaper so I could get myself down to Argos and snap one up (pardon the pun). I was quite surprised to see that Argos' camera prices have risen.






A lot of them haven't rose by much but its still worth mentioning. Although, there are a few cameras that do have fairly significant price differences. Price comparison: In Argos the Sony Cyber-shot HX300 (50x Zoom) is £***. On Amazon this camera is £***. In Argos the Sony DSCH400 (63x Zoom) is £***. On Amazon £***. So its clear. It's cheaper to buy these cameras on Amazon. These prices are for brand new cameras with no product cover included, so that would be at extra cost if taken out.

The Canon 100D is £*** on Amazon and £*** in Argos! £** is quite a big difference really.. But it gets worse..The biggest price difference that I came across while checking prices between Argos and Amazon UK was for the Canon 700D (Pictured above). In Argos the Canon 700D with the EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Lens is £***. On Amazon, with the exact same lens kit, this camera (Canon 700D with the EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Lens) is just £***! That's almost a one hundred pound difference in what you would save if buying the 700D from Amazon UK rather than from Argos. Shocking!

However, there's more. But this time in the defence of Argos. The Canon EOS M3 is £*** on Amazon but in Argos, with the exact same lens kit its £***. OK, this one camera is a little more expensive on Amazon, but overall Argos are considerably more expensive than Amazon when it comes to buying a camera in 2015 during the run up to Xmas. In most cases, go to Amazon to buy a camera if you want to save some money.
