Decent deal on RX100 - £292?

I know how popular the Sony RX100 is, and it's on Amazon's Black Friday deal for the next hour at £292.49. If it's a good deal the links here:

Well out of my budget still unfortunately.

Ordered, thanks for the heads up. Big scope creep for a 'cheap' easy to use compact for Mum's Christmas present!

£389.99 now...

Was only an hour left on it when I posted. Glad that it was of use to someone though.

Yeah you have to be fast.

Slightly off topic but has anyone had dust issues with the RX100 Mk2? It was the only thing putting me off the original version, as I have had the same problem with previous Cybershots. As for £300 .. I can see the Mk2 going for late £400s from some non-UK retailers.

I haven't had dust problems with the Mk 1 RX... did you? I had terrible dust problems with the Canon S95 - so I've treated the Sony to a leather case. Seems to be working so far. Not seen a single dust mark after 4592 actuations.

Nope. Mine has been good as gold. Although I do have the rather fetching leather case.
