Wanting a Canon 600D

Supernaut91 · 22 Apr 2012 at 16:16

Seems a nice little camera for a DSLR. Always had an eye for photography, I have been meaning to upgrade to one for a long time now.

Basically do you know anywhere, subtly stating the cheapest place brand new?

Any help is greatly appreciated guys, thank you very much!

You can normally find the best prices at http://www.camerapricebuster.com/index.html

There is also a cashback offer on at the minute so you can get £50 back from canon after you've bought it.

Cheapest at the minute is £591 which will be £541 after cashback

That sounds perfect. Any idea how I can claim on the cash back, do I make the purchase then do something on the canon site?

There is an offer for a free back pack. Although when I place the order it does not apply the discount. Strange.

Print this form for cashback http://www.jessops.com/bannermedia/pdf/canon_cashback.pdf

Ignore the fact it's on jessops website, that's just the first place i found the form

You can use the link on this page http://www.canon.co.uk/promotions/#

When I did it you needed to send the barcode off the box, that was a few years back now, but it came in about a week.

My worry is the offer ends on April 30th although I'm sure I would receive the camera before then.

The cashback is for all purchases between 29/03/12 - 05/06/12

If you after just the body only it can be got online from a UK dealer for £533 BEFORE cashback.

Seriously considering updating to one from my 350d now. Not sure if I can justify the extra £200+ for the 60D. Still unclear what specific differences it has other than ergonomic?

You can get it from the rainforest for £528 before cashback. Or from hdew for £455. Don't see why you wouldn't be able to get cashback from them.
Edit: Looking at hdew more, it seems like they won't be eligible for cashback because I don't think they are supplied by Canon.

DigitalRev offer the Canon Kiss X5(EOS 600D / Rebel T3i) + 18-55mm kit for £449.99.

I doubt very much I can get cash back on that though.

No cashback as its an import. Also warranty non existent in the uk
