Where can I get a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 for best price?

Hubby is having a big birthday coming up and he has been wanting a compact camera with a lot of zoom for a long time, so I thought this one would be perfect.

Yeah, I know it just came out and it is stupid to by something like that before the price comes down, but it is the perfect camera and his birthday can't wait.

So, where can I find this camera for the best price (voucher codes and loyalty points suggestions are greatly appreciated too!) and in a trustworthy shop?

Thanks again!

P.S. I have been lurking this site for a long time and you guys have been great help without even knowing! :) Hope to be posting more soon

    I saw this in Dixons Duty-Free at Stansted the other week. It was £304 VAT-free so the price quoted by nmm seems very good indeed.
  • Thank you for the info!

    I am a little weary about the company recommended because they seem to have so many bad reviews.
    Are they considered trustworthy by people here?

    I buy from them all the time and never had a problem in the 6 years i been using them. Also as they are on Quidco that should give you some reassurance. In fact i just ordered from them today they are a very well known company based in Manchester. I can take a photo of the receipt tomorrow if you'd like proof ;)

  • I realized that they only sold them in silver at MicroDirect (which hubby just does not like) so I went for a TZ7 in brown from ukdigital.co.uk for £289 + shipping.

    The brown ones apparently cost a lot more in the other shops (popular colour?) so i am very happy with the price :) I did find a very good high speed SDHC card at Amazon for £14 , instead of £35 the other shops were asking for!
