Looks like a buyers from Arklow and Galway suffered pre-buyers remorse

Strange that Argos are say it has a 1080i Video capture while Currys and Amazon mention 1080p - Huge difference

If anyone has a reservation code around the Dublin/Kildare area I'd really appreciate it - would love to pick one of these up before my holidays!

Got the last one in the country the other night in Wexford, the mammy went and picked up the reservation for me (Thanks Mammy!!).
Looks like a serious bargain, thanks very much to the OP. Can't wait to get my hands on it now!!!

Wouldnt people be better off going for the one in King Cantonas link with the better lense for €25 more?

Never heard of that crowd selling it, but warranty repairs can be an issue when dealing with companies based in Hong Kong.

KizzyMonster

Has anyone got a reserve code for anywhere in Dublin?
I've got one for Monaghan but I won't make it up to get it

Does anyone have a code for Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny, Carlow or Waterford??

Yay! I'm going to pick mine up first thing in the morning!

I now have a reserve code for Dun Laoghaire that I no longer need, first person to pm me can have it. It's good until 6pm Wednesday the 10th.

Edit: still available!

Does this mean you can order it in store?

adox

I am really in two minds whether to order this or spend a couple of hundred extra on the D3200.

MisterKipling

I have the D3200, in terms of image quality there's a massive jump and the sensor is bigger...I'm glad i spent the extra money. Got a great deal in Curry's (jervis). Plus its pretty future proof. Looking forward to buying a nifty fifty lens soon!

I woudnet bother, if you have the money to spend, move up towards the D5XXX series

no point in blowing your load on an entry level model, the d3100 is good enough for anyone, if you want better go up a model or invest in lens

But its nearly €250 more than the D3100 so of course it will have better features etc.....so what is your point exactly?

Get a the 35mm. Same price, but better field of view. I have the 50mm, it's too tight IMHO.
