Deanos, thanks! I hadnt noticed the 40 week terms were not available on half price items, will call them to change it back over to 20 weeks.

Eh up if they have accepted it dont say anything !!!!!

My order has completely disappeared from the online account, despite the email acknowledgement

Try looking under the "track a return" tab.

As for the way they run their business, to cancel an order, not advise customer why, and not even advise the customer it's been cancelled... is beyond belief!!! :mad:

I doubt the camcorder is any larger than the measurements given, however, I did note that all the images used on the net made it appear far thinner than the 45mm given as it's depth (thickness) ...... So if you refer to it's depth (thickness) I doubt you will be alone.

My online account says unable to give information, have phoned and spoken to a lady who says that I am a priority order when new stock gets in, how likely is that do you think! At least it's not cancelled (YET!!!)

Yes I agree with this.....I am of course refering to the impression that is given by reviews that state for example 'it's the same size as a mini DVtape box'....way bigger than that.
Big question has anybody tried it yet?...I've still not got around to it.

Given that I have heard nothing from GU I smiled at this in their blurb.

Stock Availability

Unfortunately an item may go out of stock during the day, should this happen after you have submitted your order then you will be contacted, as soon as possible, by one of our Customer Service Advisers. If an item is not available, we may send a substitute of equal or greater value which you can return free of charge if it is unacceptable.

hi,recieved my camera today,they tried delivering yesterday but i was not home.

ive had a quick look at the camera and it looks quite nice the screen is nice and big,the only downsides i can report at the minute is that the screen is a bit low quality,and the menu system looks a bit of a pain,but the touch screen system is nice.

i will report back later when i have had time to have a good look at the other features.
it is basically a point and shoot mini camcorder rather than your pro camcorder enthusiast stuff,but given the price it still looks like a bargain!
