Just a heads up to those thinking of buying this camera!

Canon 30D for £819 from Jessops for body only, but theres a voucher which will save you another 10% bringing the price down to £737!

www.jessops.com/gifts/index.cfm?refer=tdl

Not sure when the voucher expires though.

Whoops!

Jessops.com said:

There's always a catch!

I didn't notice that earlier!

But earlier it would let me redeem the voucher against the 30D, but now... oh no!

Me think's thats a recent amendment after a sudden rush of orders no doubt!

Will they honour the price though? I guess they have to.

DABS ar advertising the 30D/18-55 Kit at £837 and claiming they have stock.

Not quite as good as the originallay posted deal but pretty close!

I just got my 30D from Jessops. Will try to take some shots over the weekend. Feeling a bit guilty about spending so much money but at least I got a bargain!

Jessops are throwing in an extended 2 year warrenty for nothing too.

Don't know if I got the 2 year warrenty or not but at that price I am not too fussed.

Hey, I met the chap who bought your 20D about a month back. Was a little put out he had beaten me to it but I am sure my 30D will make up for it

Just found out another way of getting the 30D cheap from Jessops.

Buy 80 x £10 vouchers with the discount code, for £720, then pop into the store and hand over £805 for the camera (in store price too)!

So your getting the 30D for £725! Bargain!

I bought a refurbished 20D about a week ago from Jacobs for £700. Should have waited

Looks like Jessops have removed the vouchers from the discount now even though it doesn't say on the small print!

Hope they still honour my order, they did with the discounted 30D's so fingers crossed.
