Canon Mirrorless Camera.

This is currently priced at €270 (But around €400 everywhere else) in Argos with just the 18-55mm lens and flash.

This bundle on EBay includes Both 18-55mm STM lens and 22mm STM lens, plus the adapter to use regular Canon EF-S lenses with it. (Also includes 90 EX flash)

A similar bundle was in PC World/Currys recently for €350 but didn't include the adapter (worth €100ish)

Good deal for anyone who wants DSLR quality images, from a small, more compact camera.

The EOS M has slight Auto Focus issues but aside from that has great reviews.

And when that vat @23% and the processing fee is added in,over €425

Looked through the comments on the seller and lots of people reporting that they were charged no Customs which is commonly (not always) the case when shipped from Asia.

If anyone is that worried about Customs then you can purchase same bundle from here at around €358 when you sign up to newsletter and apply discount code:

There is a full thread here on Boards about EGlobalCentral and nobody gets charged customs from them either.

I can't see customs fraud lasting too long.

it is showing at £269 not €270. Still not a bad price assuming you dont get caught for the vat and duty.

Which one?

The EOS M with 18-55mm lens is €269 in Argos.

The full package with both lenses and EFS adapter is €340.

My mistake. I misread and thought you said it was €270 on Ebay.

Just for anyone who is on the fence between this, and a normal sized DSLR. For me at least, these cameras dont make much sense. They are smaller, but they are not pocketable at all. They will still be carried in a bag, and will most likely feel awkward with the adapter and normal canon lenses attached due to the small size of the camera, and the relatively large lens.

The Argos deal is great imo. But you just have to be sure on what you're actually getting imo.

Well it depends, it is jacket pocketable on its own with its own lens. Obviously if you are in full photographer mode with lens and adapters, you will need a decent bag. Ultimately I'm happier bringing around one when walking around during the day on holiday, but I'd rather ditch it before I went to the pub.

Yeh, this is me. I have a d3100 which takes great shots but ism not using most of its features and I just want a quality camera thats not too bulky to carry around. For holidays, weddings, family get togethers.

I'm thinking I'm may sell my d3100 and pick this one up for argos.

Oh decision decisions....

This will do what you want. But I bet a good point and shoot camera will do what you want as well. This camera doesn't have a flash built in, it clips onto the top of the camera and the lens protrudes a lot. If you're not going to use the manual feature of the camera, and you're looking for something more portable, there are plenty of options out there for portable point and shoot cameras imo.

If your giving it serious thought, check out the below three vids in order. The host of the show is not your average reviewer, but he does get the day to day usage covered.
