UK D60 availabillity

Andy_J_M · Jul 20, 2002

Hi all, be kind as I'm new to this board

Anyway, does anyone know where I can get a new D60 kit in the UK?

I've been phoning around but everyone is still out of stock and most are not expecting any until August.

Looks like I'll have to wait

Join the club, Looks like I may get mine in about 2 weeks time, making it a 4 week wait....

The best thing is to order via a couple of different places, then take the first one which comes in and cancel the others. From what #i have seen thus far it seems like the UK has about a 4-6 week wait time at the moment.

Waiting is so dam difficult, especially when you see the results from the other peeps on the forum...

Recently managed to get one spare from a jessops store. I was lucky and they orded one in for someone and in the mean time they found one else where.

Sadly i think it will just be a matter of some luck and phoneing around some more.

Calumet UK were saying they expected a delivery on Monday coming and mine would have been in that; however, they are now saying early August. They seem to be letting me down a lot claiming Canon is letting them down a lot. Bloody annoying!

You could check on Monday just encase they actually do get any. They might, if they get a delivery, have some spare for a short time.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies, seems we're all in the same boat

One of the distributors that I contacted were blaming the shortage on Canon updating their computer system recently and this has affected all the Canon range, not just the D60.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Hi Andy

I have heard that rumour no so long ago on the Forum. However, I have no way of knowing whether it is true. But such things do happen; I can recall a few cases where companies have lost lots of business due to installing new ordering systems.

Calumet Glasgow had one on the shelf on Friday afternoon - might be worth calling them.

Try Abbey Photographic in Blackpool. I rang them in May they got me a D-60 4 days later.

I also ordered a 100-400 LUIS lens about a month later and at that time Canon UK were updating their computer system to a Euro system??

So instead of the usual 2 day delivery from Canon UK it took 3 weeks. I was informed that when I received the 100-400 that the new Canon Euro System was live and running OK. So I guess this should not be an issue with the supply of D60's.
I've instaled the new firmware and I love this Camera!!!
Good luck

Thanks people! Ken in paticular

Managed to get the last one in the whole of Calumet!
That Glasgow tip really paid off.

Got the Body kit, Battery Grip, spare battery and a 1Gb Microdrive for £2405. Still a lot of money but it's gonna be worth it

Cheers again,

Andy.

I was just in Calumet and noticed the D60 was waiting to be shipped. Then Alsion, the manager, told me it had been bought via a tip on the Internet - just goes to show!

Enjoy!!

A friend of mine, on finding out I had one on order, scoured shops in London for a D60 just to get one first, the filthy swine. He was out of luck right up until he phoned Harrods of all places! They sold him one at the outrageous full RRP of 2200 quid, but certainly had them available. If you have money to burn, might be worth trying them.

Ordered a D60 from Park Cameras in Burgess Hill two weeks ago on the Tuesday, and the following Monday they called me to tell me it had come in - total wait six days. They said that their average order delay was at the time running at about one week.
