    Received mine today, Halina camera and Binoculars, poor quality. Both going back. I'm going to stick with the 3.1mp Concord which was delivered on Thurs.

    Just received the 3.1mp Concord which was the one I originally ordered. My online statement said it would be replaced with the Halina one with the binoculars.
    I am very pleased as I got the one I wanted which will be more than good enough for our 6 year old.
    Many thanks again to OP!

  • Just received mine today. It's not what I ordered, they have sent the 3.1MP
    I will be returning it as it's not worth the £24.99 they have debited from my account.

    If you have ordered the 3.1mp you will need to buy a memory card for it as there is only 7mb of memory in the camera.

    I bought a 128Mb SD card this morning from Tesco for £9.97 reduced from £14.97.
  • Is there a review for the Halina camera online? Are you sure the quality on the concord is better than the Halina as it is supposed to be enhanced to 6mp quality.

    Received my email this morning notifying that SR6827 was about to be dispatched. Got onto this thread and read that this was indeed a downgrade due to ordered item being out of stock.

    Saw the above within 10 mins of it being posted. Rang Empire who informed me that a substitute had been issued due to stock shortage. I quoted malc1603, the lady checked the stock level and hey presto SX7366 on its way, due Tuesday.

    Fingers crossed.

    Shouldn't have counted my chickens.....

    Got a email today saying that SA7365 is on its way. This despite the above and a follow up confirmation email.

    The lady at empire had as good as guaranteed that as the item was back in stock I would definately be getting it. Even confirmed the date of delivery. Now this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    What an absolutely rubbish company.

    I received an email today advising that the 5.1 mp was a special pruchase and subject to availability.

    The awful halina binoculars went back immediately!!!!!
    ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷
  • recieved the halina binoculars set...called courier number given in order to send it straight back...the courier company have been telling me every day that today is the day they will come...but they still havent turned up...phoned empire today..they said their couriers arent working until 4th january...but i told them the courier company tell me everyday that they are coming today..she said they arent working..i asked if that meant they were lying to me...she suddenly changed her tune and said maybe they are working because they dont celebrate xmas...but as far as she was concerned they weren't working! this is the first time I have dealt with empire stores..and it will certainly be the last!
