That's the Mark I camera, not Mark III that the OP mentions... Big differences between the two.

Nuno · 22-06-2018 10:26am

Indeed - linkage to the Mk3

sorry yeah, doesnt find it easily on LW site. updated OP

For transparency there is £150 back on UK but its OOS on Amazon, 3rd party not allowed cashback.

binnox · 23-06-2018 11:50am

Looks like a great deal. Set up a littlewoods account and discount coded accepted but order rejected. Phoned up and account needs to be cleared and it can take 2 days so hopefully still in stock when that all gets sorted.

Thanks for alert op.

dubmick · 23-06-2018 8:31pm

Is there much of difference between the mk1 and the mk3...picture quality improvement? I know the latter has WiFi and the viewfinder that pops up

Down to £374 on Amazon now with £150 cash back.

So just under €255!

bloody typical. i miss the amazon deal and then they lower it.
ah well, delivery may not be for another month with amazon and i want it for trip away next week but yeah great deal got even better.

spoongibbon · 24-06-2018 11:00am

Think it says £75 cash back on the M3

devil-80 · 24-06-2018 11:11am

There was probably mistake on Sony website as was last time. It's £75 or €85.

devil-80 · 24-06-2018 12:10pm

Download the cashback form and see what is there. Didn't say anything about €170. It happens the same to me last year website was saying €150 or something but only got the money from cashback form.

devil-80 · 24-06-2018 12:15pm

Terms and condition..

Still good value at £374 with £75 off.

These are the best compact cameras around. I have a mk1 and it is fantastic, I've had it for years now and it still takes amazing shots. If you want the best possible camera that will still fit in your pocket, this is a good choice. The mk3 having a view finder is a big plus too.

Poochie05 · 24-06-2018 1:37pm

If you scroll a bit further you will see it confirms post above that for purchases between 20 Jun and 22 Jul it is €170 cash back

Just pulled the trigger on Amazon, with Irish vat it goes up to £389. Only thing is it says expected dispatch date 1-2 months

Thanks OP

Saw that, how will the cashback work then?

Poochie05 · 24-06-2018 4:23pm

It goes by your purchase date, but your amazon order wont process / take payment until the item is in stock so its cutting it fine.

You might get it before 22nd if its closer to the 1 month estimate with £150 cashback or else it'll only be £75.

But £75 off is still a great deal, and you can always cancel your order before it ships. So if you place an order now and it passes the 22nd, just cancel it for full refund if you only want to try get it at the cheapest price.

Yes, currently saying expected arrival between 26 July and 14 August. I am hoping it may become available before then, but as you say, I can always cancel if it hasn't despatched before 22nd, but I’m inclined to leave it as it's still a good deal with the £75 off.

dubmick · 24-06-2018 4:33pm

thanks lads. Anyone else ordering, use Parcel motel and you will save £10

acquiescefc · 25-06-2018 7:35am

Amazon invoice states Ordered date so if its in that range you are fine for the cashback. You have to wait 30 days to claim

My order has been cancelled by Amazon

Agreed, I've had the mk3 for a few years and it's a brilliant camera. No inclination to buy a replacement even now as it's as good as most things out there even now.

Ordered thru littlewoods. Deposited 120 to account as you get 20% discount and with credit account get 400. Deposit was so I could buy camera at 500 after 20% discount. Probably could have just deposited full amount. As I said in earlier post had bother getting discount after first order rejected and discount would not automatically apply to second order. Called up and got sorted and shipping notification yesterday and should arrive tomorrow. Then the fun getting the Sony 170 rebate begins.

Brian CivilEng · 28-06-2018 8:50pm

My Amazon order hasn't been cancelled, still showing delivery 27 July - 27 August. Maybe because I added other stuff to the order which has already been delivered. Fingers crossed it'll come.

Brian CivilEng · 18-07-2018 8:41am

An update, I received my camera yesterday. Great piece of kit, thanks op.

I am really curious if I will get the promised €170 rebate now, but even if not, £374 is a great price.

I agree took mine away for a week and really impressed with quality.
Tempted to take it to Grand Prix in September instead of DSLR but might miss focal length.

Have to wait 30 days to apply for rebate. Dont see any issues if youve ordered from one on the list.

Whipping Boy · 18-07-2018 10:07pm

Have I missed the boat on this/the rebate, folks?

Poochie05 · 18-07-2018 10:22pm

I ended up buying one from Littlewoods with the new credit account discount so got it for €500. Very impressed and planning on taking it on holiday. Thanks OP!
I got a really useful guide to the camera on Amazon and have to say for someone like me who knows nothing about photography, it's a great little book.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Photographers-Guide-Sony-DSC-RX100-III-ebook/dp/B00N325FIY

Will be putting in for the €170 rebate at the end of next week. My only concern is that I couldn't see Littlewoods on 'the list', even though on their website the said it was eligible so will be interested to hear how those of you who also bought on Littlewoods got on.
All the same, a great camera and to be honest still good value at €500.

S' · 19-07-2018 8:35am

Picked up the RX100M4 on Primeday for £499 (reduced from £690). Hopefully get the cashback discount of £100

Whipping Boy · 19-07-2018 11:04am

Getting the message: 'The promotion code LXJQU has expired'

Shame!
