Right. Figured it might be nice to have a thread with shops, review sites, photo sites you like in and such.

Shops
-------

www.warehouseexpress.com
www.jessops.com
www.amazon.co.uk
www.digitalrev.com (Hong Kong based but great)
www.onestop-digital.com/catalog (I think they're based in the UK but buy in from HK)
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FLASH-CAMERA (The great Kerso. Known to many forumites. Fully trustable and generally cheaper than most places. I've spent nearly £2k with him)
BH Photo - The classic New York camera store.
camerabox.co.uk

Review sites
--------------

www.dpreview.com (Generally the best and your first port of call)

Photographers
----------------

James Nacthwey - Incredible photographer. He does war photography and I have no idea how he sleeps at night.
Henri Cartier-Bresson - Invented street photography
Robert Capa - Amazing guy. He chose to be on the boats going to Normandy for D-Day. He chose! His work inspired Spielberg for Saving Private Ryan. He always said "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." Apparently he said that just before standing on a landmine.
Ansel Adams - He changed the way people meter light in photography and produced iconic b&w images of America.
Dave Hill - Brilliant portrait photographer.
The image is found - Brilliant portrait photography team

Photoblogs
----------

Random photo sites

Bob Atkins - Photography news, lens info etc
Rob Galbraith - Photo news n stuff

Flickr
------

In case you don't know Flickr is a photo sharing site. You can sign up and post photos on it. Then you can share them just with your "friends and family" or with the world. Join groups about anything from local interest to random things.
