Ah, so there's hope! That's good.

I wish customer service departments would stick to the same story when you contact them.

FYI if you order this using Egg Money (mastercard) from Currys you will qualify for a 10% rebate from egg money and £100 cashback from Canon.

If you just use your Egg Card (visa) you will only qualify for 5% rebate from egg card and NOT the £100 cashback from Canon which is in conjunction with Mastercard.

After all rebates/discounts the price you should actually pay is £368.00 and not £424 as the title suggests.

phew I stand corrected 10% it is, as soon as they are in stock I am buying one. I noticed that the body is on sale for £579 and in stock at Currys:

CANON EOS350D Digital Camera 140537

currys price £579.89

The Nikon D50 has a bit less resolution @ 6mp but seems a bit better built, but this is out of stock too otherwise I might have bought it.

The standard lens supplied with this camera is a 18-55mm, and this is not terribly good. I have been recommended a Sigma 55-200mm there is one in the USA on ebay for about £100 plus duty. Would the Sigma auto focus or be manual focus only?

Cmon Currys back in stock soon.

The Egg Mastercard you need for this offer, is this the standard Egg card you'll receive when you apply online? I've look at the site and it seems to show a visa card and doesn't mention the blue/money one.

I'm thinking of applying as this seems a very good offer if they do get them back in stock, but don't want to end up with a card I can't use. I've emailed egg on this, but haven't heard back yet.

Thanks.

The egg money card is the new credit card from Egg
