Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Data accumulated from Consumers' Association surveys are designed to be used by the consumer. The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys. Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine <i>Which?</i> and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public. Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of <i>Which?</i> readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of <i>Which?</i> readers are unlikely to be typical.

Main Topics:

Data include: number of single lens reflex cameras owned; brand and model of SLR camera this questionnaire refers to; date of purchase; whether new or second hand; reliability and repairs of camera and standard lens (i.e. description and frequency of faults, repair/servicing procedure, cost, length of time repair took, satisfaction with repair, satisfaction with service provided by manufacturer). Also recorded is respondent satisfaction with camera and his rating of the disadvantages of this brand of SLR camera. Information also covers: additional lenses and other equipment owned; type of photography done (e.g. family snaps etc.); whether user photographs in black and white or colour, and finally, whether respondent does his/her own developing and printing.
