Canon EOS300D Digital SLR Camera for £429.94

BTW looking at the £100 cashback form (downloaded the one from Canon), there's no mention of providing a serial number for the camera so how would Canon know that it was US sourced0

Canon told me that the cameras were US. sourced when I rang them up ...
They seem rather suspicious when I told them I'd bought it from currys. When you get the chance to look at the box, theres a square sticker on the side that is covering something up. I was curious at the time because I thought it might be the 8 digit offer code, but its another sticker with the camera serial number and other details on, which I couldn't really make out because of it starting to rip ....
on another note ... I bought an epson picturemate off the currys site at £99 + post ... they also had it on the site for £122 ... why twice I don't know but after 2 days they've cancelled it without giving a reason .... here we go again .......0 -
I got mine a few days ago after ordering from Currys online. I have ordered the 256MB card already (mine had a circular sticker on the top with a code on which was needed when registering with the specified website) and am in the process of getting the £100 rebate, so no problems yet0

Have now bought my EOS 300D from Jessops in Leicester, who price matched currys website at £596.
It's definitely a UK camera with compact flash sticker on the box.
No waiting , no checking the website for stock and more importantly no worries if anything should go wrong.
Hope everyone else get's there's!0 -
Well after spending ALL day Saturday last week in front of the PC on curry’s website chasing ghosts that 2 become available and then go,then calling currys stores to be told “ we are to busy to take your call” and then being laughed at,that was the Manchester Ancoats store. A letter of complaint ( sent recorded and they have received it Tuesday Am ) to there Sheffield office and Dixon’s head office and guess what no answer no apology. So my advice is buying such a hi-tech and expensive piece kit is stay well clear of this lot and in the end I bought the Nikon D70 and ok it was more but got good advice - UK spec.Tell it as it should be....0

Finally found the bl**dy code, sticker was stuck to the box they'd sent it in rather than the Canon box..0

went into currys prepared for trouble ... took printouts of the offer and the canon website ... and didn't need it they were expecting me apparently from the e-mail I sent earlier to customer services .. they erm .. peeled a sticker off another box and gave me it ...
gotta say i'm impressed with their customer services even if the e-mail was marked 'dixons customer services ... '
anyway i've got my cf256 serial no.
happy happy .... joy joy .....0 -
I received my order earlier in the week and have now decided i don't want it...if anyone wants to buy it off me at cost price (529.94) + p&p (+paypal fees if you wanna do it that way) pm me otherwise it's going back to currys
ps. have phoned up about £100 cashback and i can tell you what you have to do to get it if you're concerned
EDIT: has the sticker for free 256 memory card on front too
UPDATE: gone now!0 -
