And the new UK price for the 300D is.......

Is the thread on a camcorder forum which talks about Jessops
allegedly not price matching web prices now.

http://www.barclaycard.co.uk/Card_Benefits/Price_Promise/index.html

Details the price promise given by Barclaycard, I looked at the
basic card only. This gives the price promise detailed above. In
the terms and conditions it does mention that they will not price
match refund if you fail to take advantage of a shops own price
promise. therefore I imagine if Jessops will price match to £50 you
will have to take advantage of that offer then try to get the extra
£50 off barclaycard.

They extra year free extended warranty is detailed:

In greater detail:

Which stated that camcorders and cameras (including digital) are
covered, however you must register your product at or near the time
of purchase. I intend to get cancel my egg card and get a
barclaycard this week.

As a side benefit, like egg cards your mail order items are covered
for loss in transit. I once had some items go missing in transit, I
never got a replacement or refund from the retailer despite
approaching trading standards. Once it leaves the shop the retailer
considers the goods yours.

PS. I dont have any connection to barclaycard, its advantages were
mentioned in the Camcorder thread.

The price quoted for camera-x-change includes VAT. This may not be the case with the price quoted from German on-line store, typically you still have to add VAT (16% instead of 17.5 I think) and you may also have to add a 3% credit card surcharge, if that's how you are paying. Then you have your flight and ancillary costs...

IMO any UK deal for the Kit at sub £850 Inc VAT will probably compare favourably with any other given local company / UK delaership etc...
The lowest price for the kit in Germany is 999 Euro. That about 690
GBP.
Really? Any stores near Hahn that would sell it at that price?
Might be worth taking a cheapie cheapie Ryanair flight over there.

Hi everyone!

The 999€ for the 300D + lens includes VAT.

I even found a german online store that sells the camera (+lens) for 945€ incl. VAT:

I'm don't think that price includes the lens.

The german for lens is objektiv - they're selling the lens kit for €1049 - £740

It's getting closer to the point of making importing a US kit not worth the difference...

Any advances on 1049?

UK shipping price?

As its EU I assume there is no import duty etc, is the Warranty EU wide too?

Hi !

You meant this offer for 1049€ (?):
http://redcoon.de/redcoon/product.do?action=getProductDetail&product=1498

I think the "+ Objektiv" means another lens than the EF S one. At least on the picture of this offer is shown another (additional) lens than the one that is normally deliverd with the 300D kit.

And the picture of the 945€ offer shows the camera with the EF S lens, not just the body.

Under the pictures stands "Abbildung kann abweichen" ("Picture can differ") so all of the above points I made can be wrong. On the other hand in the description of the 300D stands "Schon ab September wird die Canon EOS 300 D mit dem neuen EF-S Objektiv 18-55 mm lieferbar sein." ("Already in September the Canon EOS 300 D with the new EF-S lens 18-55mm can be deliverd").

The only thing I miss (and would clear up this situation) is an offer for the body only (or it is the 945€ one?). I can't find one on their website.

I think with these rough information the online store gives you shouldn't order the camera there (though it may be cheaper than somewhere else).

Finally you could be right... I searched for some more online stores and I found a 949€ offer, but without the lens.
