Would this work for a 40D too?

I am looking to purchase a 450D, and the price through these guys with that 15% off code is very good.

Has anyone used this company before? Any feedback on them would be appreciated.

Cheers mate.

I figure go for the best one you want that you can afford.

I was looking to get the 450D from 7dayshop for £529, but that code gets it for around the £490 mark from digital-cameras. That is a big enough difference to make me consider them. Would be a lot easier if anyone had any previous experience with them. Have never heard of them myself so looking to see what their reputation is like.

Fingers crossed on the quad front.

Have you visited the Rangers thread on these forums?

Heres a link to where I found this deal, looking through the comments there seems to be quite a few people who have taken advantage.

And yet it lets you apply to code at checkout for items that are listed as pre-order.

Just ordered the 5D AND the 24-105mm IS L lens...if it all works out, the total cost comes in at just £1214!

Here's the breakdown..

Their (delivered) price after 123 promotion code discount - £1522.99
less 6.5% cashbackkings cashback - £1423.99 ( http://www.************/4wo3mb )
less 1% credit card (egg) cashback - £1409.75
less £195 Canon voucher cashback - £1,214

Bearing in mind the 24-105mm L sells for about £600 even on Ebay, this means the 5D is effectively just costing me about £615!!!

Well chuffed!

PS A couple of possible flies in the ointment...

1. Cashbacking won't track (at 6.5%)
2. They won't honour it (it's not exactly in stock, but their site still aloowed the promotion code to be applied)

Edit, seems to have tracked...just hope it's verified now...

dfrear · 20-04-2008, 1:10 PM

Hmm 40D - 15% = £534.28 - £100 cashback = 434.28 ... nice price!

I thought you were looking at the 40D?
I hope it works out for you mate.
Let us know

Barbs · 20-04-2008, 2:10 PM

Has anyone used or heard of this outfit before?

I have been hunting for a 400d since the last Tesco offer and this looked too good to be true (I hope not!).. anyway I ordered so here's hoping

.

I got a Canon 400d with Kit lens (this lens will suit me fine as a first DLSR)
+ Canon 400d bag
+ 1 Gb card
for £346.99
- £45 cashback
- £6 quidco
all in for £295.99

All you have to do is add '123' as a code at step 5 in the checkout process.
Not bad at all

Barbs · 20-04-2008, 2:21 PM

Quick question....

does anyone know if the cashback applies to the Canon 400D body only, or is the kit lens + body included?

The list has a body only, but the online claim form seems to list both.

Too late now anyway as I have ordered, but just wanted to know.

lets just hope they honour that then rather than just send the body out in a few weeks at full price.
I would be on the phone tomorrow just to make sure ...

Yeah, I haven't placed the order myself, waiting to give them a ring to ask about it, and when they are likely to get stock of the 450d.

Boo hoo, man cries upon receipt of this email...

"Many thanks for your interest in our promotion. Unfortunately the product you have chosen is not in stock and therefore is not eligible for the 15% off promotion.

There is still a Canon 5D body in stock should they be of interest. Please contact us as soon as possible and upon dispatch we can refund the difference.

Apologies for any inconvenience."

Bad luck.

I was reading on the hotukdeals site and it looks as if alot of people are getting this email. My order is still showing as 'awaiting processing'... so we will have to see. If it still says that tomorrow I'll be on the phone to put myself out of my misery
