ou can still use the £5 off £10 spend voucher TDXR-DSJNNT from Tesco Direct and use collect at store option to avoid delivery cost (if you have a local participating store)

plus this code.. £5 off first order = TDX-D34

Do you think these are valid for the cashback?
They have to be bought through official channels - it's hard to say with Tesco.
It's still the best price though - even without the cashback.

EDIT: After finally getting the site, it mentions the cashback on there so big thumbs up!

[tryingtimes]

Done - bought.
It's very funny - in my other firefox tab, I've got a new post I was going to make about how I couldn't decide between the 400D and the D80 even though I've handled them both, etc.
Funny how £70 saving will change a person's mind
The main reason it changed my mind is because they go for about £350 s/h so I figure I wont lose much if I don't get on with it.

Thanks very much for the heads-up

i think you can get 3% cashback via quidco as well and i'm sure there will be a discount code out there for tescos for another £10 or something off

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Is this a pretty useful camera for the money then?

I'm just trying to decide about which DSLR to buy. Been given a few options, like this one, D40, D50 etc.

[tryingtimes]

There's nothing like it for the money.
The D40 and D50 are great cameras but they are only 6MP and the D40 doesn't let you auto-focus with anything other than Nikon AF-S lenses which is a bit of a shame.
Basically it's a toss up between the 400D and the Nikon D80 - so obviously this is almost half the price. I have to say though I much prefer the Nikon build and materials.
Ultimately I wouldn't decide on price alone, but I was competely torn between the two - so this additional £70 off (still about £50 cheaper than the cheapest from Hong Kong!) is what swung it for me.

Take a look at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos400d/ and also have a look at some of the results with this camera in the scottish meet thread (cameras mentioned in people's sigs).

Hope that helps

Copy/Print out the website, it clearly shows a black body. If they deliver anything else then you can always return it as not as advertised...

[tryingtimes]

I've done this already - in case Canon refuse the cashback offer - so I can take it up with Tesco. Saved it out as HTML and screengrabbed it
Hopefully there'll be no problem.
I don't like the idea of cutting up the boxes though to get the postcodes off them

Wow would cost me £314 after staff discount wonder what the wife would say if i orderd it

Canon only do 1 cashback per customer - although I suppose there's nothing stopping you using friends, etc
