Digital Camera - where to buy?!

The Earl

Hi,
I'm a film camera fan but thought I'd bite the bullet get myself a decent enough digital one for not more than 250...
any ideas on where to get one for a decent price
mainly looking at a canon powershot a70
hope this is the right section to post this!

Pixmaina is excellent. You could also try komplett

Try www.pixmania.com for some of the best online prices or go to Gunns in Wexford Street (Dublin) for some great deals and service.
Fuji are doing some great deals at the moment with free memory cards, case, batteries & charger and Gunns worked out cheaper with this package than buying the same camera online.

I would recommend Camireland ,
They now offer C.O.D on their range . I have recently used them and had delivery of my nice new Sony T3 in 3 days . Paid the UPS gent cash and off he went ..

Happy Days

www.nomatica.com are also ok.

Very satisfied customer of www.pixmania.com here

Forget all the above. Go to the Camera shop at the top of Dawson Street near the Green. Ask for Tony and you'll get a decent deal.

I bought one for myself last xmas
spend weeks reading reveiws , prices etc etc
in end went for a Kodak, in Spectra.ie

they can post or send to your nearest store
went for kodak becasue seemed from reviews was the best lens and worth it for that alone
I used it also for little video's of kiddies birthdays
(kiddies I know, like nephews, not in general) great playback, nice sound

can use it as a voice recorder and all that

and it had some internal memory incase u go out without your sd card

bought a sony dsc w1 from them yesterday. cheaper than pixmania for that particular one. they have a 3% discount deal at the moment if you enter nomatica5 when ordering. many of the bundles they offer have free postage so a tripod and case only cost a few euro extra due to no post charge.322 delivered with tripod and case, in town it is 400 with no extras

it was available cheaper on ebay but this had the correct charger and nomatica are reputable and give and extra years warranty.

was it the Kodak EasyShare CX7300? it is only €119, it is 200 in argos and that is on special! I have the dx4330 kodak and it is a great camera, for 119 you cant go wrong. can be got for less online though

The value for money seems vary dramatically on that spectra site. I was just having a look at the Canon Ixus 400...

....which is €600 here:

Pixmania have the updated version of the same camera (Canon Ixus 430) for €313!

Am I missing something here?

Hi,

I buy all my camera gear and other bits from http://www.bhphotovideo.com
It costs about $50 to ship plus duty.

I've ordered from them 5 or 6 times and I've saved well over a thousand euros
even with the TAX (if your stopped for it). shipping only takes around 2 days.

I ordered from them last Wednesday and got my Lense yesterday, saved 170 euros in total, plus if your buying Canon gear get the USA version as this covers worldwide warranty.

and the exchange rate is very good at the moment, euro to dollar.

is I'm ordering just a few some items (camera-wise that is) I use www.warehouseexpress.com it's way cheaper than http://www.internetcamerasdirect.co.uk

here is the price compairson for the lense that I just got
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM lens

http://www.internetcamerasdirect.co.uk - 1,112 euros
http://www.warehouseexpress.com - 714 euros
http://www.bhphotovideo.com - 540 euros inc 21% TAX



Cheers

I was checking out prices on this site & the Kodak CX7300 with camera dock 6000 is £125 sterling!

But how quick are they to deliver etc? Anyone else buy from them? Just looking for feedback.
