EXPIRED - Canon 400d body and 18/55 lens kit SLR £302.30p @ tesco direct

YAW744 is a Currys code so won't work at Tesco!

Thanks fub
just changed the code to TDX-CLHD and it now works.

I'm wondering how low this can go? Another £30-40 and I'm on top of it. When does the cashback run out?

Was about this time last year I bought my 400D from the hot deal on here, from tesco direct.. Well worth £300 odd quid. Last years deal was £399.99 after cashback If I remember correctly.

This'll be getting rid of stock now, its going to be discontinued in the next few months with the 450D on its way

There should be plenty of 400d's available for a while ... afterall, you can still pick up 350d easily enough.

Canon don't work that way mate - as the other poster above said, you can still buy the 350d new these days, years after the 400d came out. The 350d is still £320 new with lens kit.

The price won't come down for a while, as Canon are notorious for their stock problems with new products.

Really good price and an excellent camera, I have one and its never let me down. HOT!!!

Very very good price. I paid around £370 with the discounts i could manage back in August last year.

Hot hot hot

Great price, I paid around £360 two months ago and thought I was getting it cheap...

Apologies if this touches anybody's nerve, just want an objective reply: Is this better than the Nikon D40?

Best priced brands have 16 in stock at £329 delivered. With the £45 voucher, that makes £284

There are arguments both for Nikon and those against (ala Xbox 360 v PS3).

But, you can't really compare the 400d with the D40 as the 400d is more on a par with the D40x (i.e. both 10mp).

I was looking at getting a D40, and believe me, I've read every review under the sun! I was just about to order one, until most retailers whacked £30-£40 on their price

Now this bargain has come along and I'm seriously tempted....

I would say, go to somewhere like Jessops, have a feel of the camera and go for what suits you. I've been in again today and I like both cameras, both feel good to hold, but it's down to personal preference.

The guy I spoke to said that the D40 is more for the person stepping up from point and shoot camera to a DSLR, whereas the 400d is for someone who's looking at getting more into photography. The D40 is basic in regards to the features available immediately to the user (e.g. 1 button settings as available on the Canon) whereas the Canon has loads of menu buttons on the rear of the camera which are very handy.

Some say the kit lens on the Canon is poor in comparison to the D40, but this is debatable, plus most will upgrade their lens within the first year, so this doesn't matter.

Happy shopping

I finally think the 400d is the one for me


.... or do I?

do you have a link? it says £370 for me

.. or are you mixing it up with the 350D??
