Hi

They're temporaily out of stock right now, but Dixons on line have a Casio (refurb) QVR40 @ £99.89 + post. A bit over budget, but I have bought one for my wife - it's small, takes good pics and is ideal for occasional use.

sounds good mate, thanks for the reply.

Any ideas on when they'll be back in stock?

This is the second time that they're showing "Temporarily Out Of Stock" - I was in the process of ordering one the first time, went off to see if I could find a money off voucher for Dixons on line, came back about 3 minutes later... and Out Of Stock I kept checking (about 5 or 6 times a day) and eventually they came back. This time I didn't dither

I managed to order another one this time

I don't know if you are aware of this site but they have a few reviews of the camera (as well as just about every other camera that has ever been produced!)

All the best.

I would guess a couple of weeks, perhaps. But if you're interested you really should check regularly - sometimes they show as in stock and suddenly they're gone again, so they may get a few in at a time followed by a bigger batch. It's worth the wait though
