Ixus 750

[john2303]

Hi

Has anyone got the new Canon IXUS 750? I am selling my IXUS 500 with 1GB CF Card (on ebay) in order to get one of these - does anyone know if they are any good?

Cheers

John

I too have been holding out for one of these. From what I have been told, some suppliers will have these in stock this week.

try pixmania

..... i will get one of these from Duty Free when i fly out in oct/Nov.

Has anyone got these in stock yet at around £310??

According to pixmania.co.uk they appear to have stock at £330.00.

I hope to buy from UK Digital though. Everytime I call them they are helpful and knowledgable and according to their website will be selling at £309.00 inc. VAT. Anyone with their attitude and price deserves the business.

i would not order from pixmania again for the following reasons:

if it goes wrong and you send it back - costs a bloody fortune sending things to paris - I had a printer under the zen engagement and it went tits up so i had to return it at my own expense - 40 bloody quid!!

another reason is that quite often, you will not be supplied with a user manual in english - what use to anyone is a manual in german? unless you are german of course??

I to will be giving ukdigital a phone this morning as I certainly want the new ixus within the next week or so

Thats interesting. I noticed by looking at the item description on pixmania.co.uk that the manual was in French but that the English version was downloadable?!

I spoke to UK Digital earlier this week and they suggested they would have some towards the end of this week. Fingers crossed for a Saturday morning delivery

i have ordered from easygadget.co.uk - they have stk now!!

with regards to the pixmania manuals issue - I had to pay for my english manual when i had the ixus 500

I have just ordered one from them as well. I ordered online this morning yet my order status is still "processing". Hopefully it will shift tomorrow. I would have ordered from UK Dig, but on their website it states stock next week and I don't want to wait that long

Cheers

I did email them and they said that I will not get it until early next week.

im going on holiday on the 25th,i was also thingking of buying one at duty free.my ? is how cheep is duty free,sameone said its not that cheap,it could even be more pricey.

for example=dixsons is selling the fuji f10 for £230.

at duty free in dixsons would it be less which is minus 17.5% tax of the £230,or which i heard is minus 17.5% tax of the rsp.

ps not sure is it 17.5% or 10%

To get the price vat free price subtract 14.89%
So for example £239 - 14.89% = £195.75 and £195.75 + vat@17.5% = £230
However I don't think that this is how duty free shops work as there is no duty as such on cameras, vat is a different thing altogether, I think you still have to pay it unless you can show the goods will be exported to a non EEC country, and I don't think taking it on holiday with you counts.
You probably would get a better bargain buying it at your holiday destination and then not declaring it.
