Now no where on the Jessops voucher does it state errors or emissions excepted the product only has to be in stock.
Got to be worth a punt to someone....

sorted byAs you can see from my receipt this is true (not taken on the new camera!!) - plus I have voucher for £50 cashback, making my camera £169:giggle:
I am well chuffed.
Thanks for the post.

Edit: Going to popin and buy the magazine later!!
What about getting it from Pixmania? Don't they have to honour that advertised price?
If so, I'll be going on a journey on the 6th!
Could be a bargain! :santa:
Thank you

I don't get the cold vote either:x
I suspect a get out clause could be that Pixmania are not in UK but based in France. :-(
Edit: If Jessops are on the verge of going under, they soon will if they honour this price for everyone! :w00t:
Thanks mate. Does it say its online from the 6th? I assume that price is exc VAT?
Fantastic. Just got the magazine now. Newsagent next door more or less! :thumbsup:
Does the £219 include the £50 cashback from Canon?
I know its a great price, just thinking that if it is after the cashback then its more chance to not be a pricing error.
"I've just rung Jessops and they said they won't be honoring it, and by the way they've told head office who have sent out a bulletin to all stores not to do so as well"
But they say the WILL pricematch any offer in the magazine as long as they are in stock, and pixmania have a UK store.
In your prior experience did you have a magazine with a Jessops voucher in saying that they would pricematch anything in THAT magazine?
It's obviously a pricing error, the camera is currently £425 on the Pixmania website, does anyone really believe that the price will be nearly halved?
Jessops will do a price check on Pixmania and the price match will be the actual price, not match an error in an advertisement by one of their competitors! These guys are in business to make money, not sell at less than cost.
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
Ok, Good luck then :thumbsup: I told you what I know
Anyone know if Jessops have any kind of price promise?
Even if they don't (I'm not sure either way) then you can just return the camera since it's still unopened. Most highstreet stores have at least 7days with which you can return unopened items for a "no quibble refund."
That way you can guarantee they will have stock of the camera and then buy it back at £219 with the magazine mentioned in this deal :thumbsup:
I need to keep at watching brief on this one. :x
Don't wait around too long. After a while Jessops HQ might start getting the message down to stores to stop honouring the pricematch regardless of any T&Cs on the magazine ad.
Thanks
This looks an amazing deal, but?!
I know my Canon compact does at 640X480 resolution.
No current SLR I am aware of has a moviemode, the Canon 400D doesn't even have a live preview mode on the screen - you have to use the viewfinder. SLRs and compact cameras are quite different in the way they function making SLRs less suitable for movie modes.
Anyone know if there's any good Sigma SD14 prices in the magazine?
