A family trip inspired my recent purchase of a Sony HX50 Ultra Compact Camera. After doing a little research of my own online, I went to Precision Camera after a failed attempt to find 'expert' advice at Fry's Electronics. In other words, I got cold feet and wanted to get a second opinion on my purchase. Naturally, I assumed a big box store like Fry's would provide a better price but, surprisingly, Precision had a better deal and an $80 rebate without the hassle of paperwork or an online form.
Even better than the lower price, Precision employee, Curt, was an attentive and honest sales associate who patiently listened as I described the qualities I was looking for in my 'ideal' camera. For example, I wanted a compact point and shoot that was relatively lightweight, but I worried about the glare of the sun on the LCD screen. Curt let me take a few of the models outside to ensure that the screen was visible, even with the sun to my back. The ability to use and handle the camera before purchasing made me feel 100% better about my decision. I could not have asked for a better experience at Precision. With my purchase, I received a voucher for a free photography intro class onsite. Also included was a coupon for a set of 4x6 prints (they have photo printing services onsite as well). For professional photographers and hobbyists alike, Precision is a great store and community in Northern Austin.
