Canon EOS 450D 18-55mm Lens

The cheapest I've found this digital SLR camera so far is on Jessops site at £443, minus 5% cashback with quidco (not VAT), plus £10 off, plus £50 cashback from Canon. Can't work out the arithmetic without a calculator but it looks like a good deal.

Anyone know somewhere cheaper?

    Check price comparisons here - http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod636.html Jacobs seems cheapest at the mo'

    You can get 3.5% cashback at Jacobs via quidco and free delivery.

    Hope this helps.

    The title is not too clear. Is it body AND lens, or just lens? For that sort of money im guessing it's body and (poor) stock lens, but you can get f2.8 L lenses for that sort of money too... :confused:

    I think it includes a basic lens

    I'll have a look at Jacobs as that seems to be a better deal, though if anyone knows better (or even an upgrade for slightly more) please let me know.

    Thanks

  • try the Canon refurb site on Ebay. I bought a Canon 350D with 18-55mm lens for under £200 just after last Christmas. Bought loads of things there, says refurb but they give 1 year guarantee and everthing's always looked as new to me.

    I went to the local Jessops store and did a good deal on mine a few weeks ago, I wanted a wide angle lens all their bundles had telephoto but they kindly put a deal together for me, yes I could have bought on line with Quidco cashback but in the store I got a half price LowePro bag and some cheap 2GB sticks.
