F717 now in UK!!!

David Dredge · Oct 8, 2002

I have just ordered one of the first 717s in UK! Should be with me in 24hrs!

Cannot wait.

(ordered from AskDirect who were the first to e-mail that they had one in stock. Not as cheap as others but at least they have it).

Hi David,

Beat ya!! ;-) Just picked up my F717 on Monday 7th from my local Sony store. I must say they're charging full whack (£899) at the store but I was in a real rush as my wife is expecting our first baby any day now so I didn't mind paying the extra (a lot extra!! I managed to get them down to £840)

I was tempted to order from Amazon (£789) as well as Ask Direct but both could not give me a definate date for delivery, only the Sony store would. Anyhow, the camera is amazing, well worth the wait.

Cheers,

IanS

Well done!

What has annoyed me is that Sony UK could not tell be when the 717 would be available in UK resulting in almost daily calls to various companies to see if they had one.

Was I shocked when today someone said yes!

(mine cost £779 - cheapest I've seen is £739)

Hummn, cheapest i've managed to get mine for is £840 for the camera, spare battery and a 128mb memorystick! - check out pixmainia.co.uk who now have themin stock, and also dabs.com - they have them in stock to at a respectable price too!

Yes Pixmainia is cheapest (£739) but bear in mind this comes from France and may not have English instructions or an UK-type electric plug (neither are major issues and you save tons- I've just ordered a Canon S9000 printer for £345 inc DHL delivery)

FYI, I just bought mine today at Micro-Anvika on Tottenham Court Road in London for 749 pounds.

Here is their website to confirm this:

just search for Sony f717 in the Quick search area... The camera is currently still in stock.

Best,

O.

I've been looking at buying a 707 for a while, but I was going to wait until the 717 was released, so that the 707 would drop in price. So when I looked at Amazon.co.uk yesterday I was very surprised to see the new 717 nearly £100 LESS expensive than the 707!

Looks like I'll be the proud owner of a 717, totally unexpectedly. Priced this low, the 717 is bound to be a huge success.

Nice one.

Niclas
