Price is normally the most important factor when considering a purchase. Especially when you’re shopping online, it’s really easy for us to shop around now so we can easily compare prices of the same product against many retailers with just a few clicks. In fact here at Review Pros we do that leg work for you, by comparing many different retailers to find you the best price. But price is also a big factor for which product we choose too, not just which retailer.
To give an example, the most expensive product that we found in the Compact and bridge cameras category was £2199.00, whilst the cheapest we found was £7.99 so there’s a significant variance in the prices that different products are available for.

It’s easy to get carried away and buying a much more expensive product than you really need, but setting a budget will help to avoid this.
