    Update:- 'customer number' comes on delivery note. "unsecure" to include it on emails.

    Well mine turned up this morning. It's not too bad for 20 quid. Better than the old one it's replacing that cost three times as much a couple of years ago. It's still £35.99 charged to the card at the moment. (in communication with them).

    Did anyone have the awful blue/grey tint when flash was used, and the awful black speckling when used in low light? I may have just had a naff one which I sent back.

    Got my camera yesterday, paid £15.99 after using a £20 voucher (used it on two different accounts). Have tested the camera and it is actually OK. The default is set to "2 star" resolution, which is not the best, so if you increase it to maxiumum the picture quality is good. Also, you need to keep very still when taking a picture. My camera doesn't go back to default setting when turning off and switching back on. So all in all for under £16 I am well pleased!

    Sadly, mine did always go back to default setting. So I had to adjust the flash, ISO, focus point and image quality every time I turned it on. Another reason I sent it back. Its a good camera and price for a young teen maybe, who's not so finnicky as myself!

    Ok have just taken the plunge.

    Well actually only a £20.48 plunge really.

    Just ordered the camera £35.99 plus a wine coloured pelmet (less than half price) £4.49 total £40.48 then used a new customer discount for a free 3 piece luggage set plus £20 off first order.

    I couldn't find the discount code on the websites so just phoned up - the woman insisted I gave the discount code - but when I said that I couldn't and would need to cancel the order she put me on hold then put the order through anyway. Don't know if this may help anyone else - but definately worth phoning in my opinion.

    Just received this.

    Thank you for your email.
    The lowest price the camera is sold at is £35.99.
    As this item is a logo product and already at the lowest
    price possible, no further price reductions would be given
    even if a discount code had been used.
    For further information on discount restrictions please the
    terms and conditions in the catalogue.

    Maybe my expectations are not very high, but, I received mine last Thursday. £15.99 after using the £20 code. Must say I am extremely pleased.
    I bought a 128Mb SD card from Boots on Saturday (One of their own brand, and got about 70% off, so £8.99) so for £25.......
    I have paid much more than this for cameras in the past and their quality has been no where near this. I've even printed some photos of onto an old colour laser printer and the results are very good. As long as it continues to work I will be very happy.

    There are many places but I use https://www.7dayshop.com (they do charge P&P though so compare with others). They do a 512Mb card for less than a tenner (mine was Viking branded which I have always found to be reliable) and they do a 1Gb card for under £17

    Wow great camera - it just arrived - what a bargain. OK so it's not as good as our good camera but for this sort of money you really can't fault it. I like the quick sequence of photos it takes. Bargain. On board memory wont last long - but I had a spare 512mb sd card lying about which will do nicely. Even the video mode is pretty good. No complaints yet - but just at the starting stage arrived about 30mins ago if lucky I may open the manual sometime.

    Thanks again to OP
