I saved £200 on my camera thanks to show-only deals at The Photography Show

The Photography Show deals

So, here's a thing: I saved £200 on a camera I bought at The Photography Show, which returns to the NEC in Birmingham, England, this weekend on 17, 18 and 20 September. I'd heard all the stories about the great show-only deals that took place at the event, but I didn't appreciate just how big the savings could be – especially on brand new cameras and kit.

At the time, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II had just been released, and I knew I was going to buy one – but I wasn't expecting to make my purchase at the show. I thought I'd have browse, eye the offers, but ultimately go home and make my purchase online.
