Fuji FinePix S5600 £112.49 (half price)

tappet_rattle

when did you order it? I ordered mine on the 13/12, i received a confirmation e mail from my memory. It could take a while for delivery because of the christmas post, but it is free delivery so I'm not that fussed as to how long it takes. You can track the status of your order on the my memory site.

We've ordered the Lowepro bag (following an earlier recommendation here) for £9.99 post-free from mymemory. No sign of it though. Anyone else ordered this and not received / not heard anything from mymemory???????

Ordered mine on 07/12/06, dispatched 11/12/06 but not arrived yet. Saying that my contact lenses from daysoft were two days late and that never normally happens so I reckon as Tappet rattle says it must be the Xmas post (I think they use standard Royal Mail post).I've seen the bag on it's own but not with the camera in. In my opinion it is well worth £9.99 - it's a softish material, well constructed and seems to have plenty space for the camera, cards and batteries. As it's not a rigid case it probably wouldn't be good for 'chucking' around but that's not how I treat my cameras/gear. I like the little rain cover that pulls out from the bottom and covers the entire bag to keep the rain off - nice touch.Cheers,Bubba©

Hi bubba: many thanks for that, I've never had a problem ordering from mymemory before so you're right, it'll be the Xmas mail slow down. As to good value, yup, that too: the same camera bag is selling for £24.99p elsewhere from various Internet camera dealers (plus P&P, which made mymemory's offer even more valuable).

It's for a Christmas present for my sister in law now she's got the 5600; might even by myself one (if this arrives) seeing as how I bought a very nice padded affair on eBay with a little 'net' pocket on the front to store stuff. I stupidly stored a spare 1 Gig card and spare battery. And they fell out & were never seen again. Talk about false economy. . .

HUGE thanks to debs for starting this thread and equally HUGE thanks to bubba for providing the link to the mymemory Lowepro camera case offer.
The Lowepro D-RES 40AW case ordered as a Christmas present arrived from mymemory today -- and it's superb: £9.99p including free post & packing. Compare this to the 'bargain offers' currently running on eBay UK from specialist photographic dealers and there's no contest: £25 plus £5 P&P or £30 plus £2.50 P&P.

I've just been back to mymemory and ordered another D-RES 40AW as today's the last day for guaranteed delivery in time for Christmas.

(mymemory's 'Lowepro page' is actually even more extensive than before, so stocks must still be plentiful).

Anyway. . . to debs and bubba (and everyone else here): thanks, gang and

LOL and I've just received an email from them titled 'It's not too late... Order today for delivery in time for Christmas'.

That's nice - except my bag despatched on the 11th December still isn't here

Guess by the time it does it'll be :easter_os

Yeah no tracking number as it's sent by regular letter post. It says delivery is usually between 3-5 working days but they won't investigate non-receipt until 14 days has passed so I'll just wait and see what happens.

The Fuji XD card and 2800 rechargeables ordered from 7dayshop AFTER the bag, turned up last week and they were from Jersey as well

Still, mustn't grumble, there's worse things going on in the world eh?

Cheers,

A pity. Not much consolation in this link, but it includes free delivery and seems to be about the cheapest now that Argos's stock is exhausted:
