Camcorder Deals & Offers

looks like its all the same price on prime (plus guaranteed next day delivery) I dont like plugging the enemy but for the site.... Good kit, pricey but its a great system if you have multiple cameras or swap your carry style a lot. I dont have any of the bags, but like how they brought the quick release system into them!

If Wex were doing it last week and Jessops this week maybe one of the others will copy?

I was going to get one but I forgot to order it until after midnight and was too late. Code seemed to have expired :(

Cheers mate (popcorn)

Nice spot!

(y)

Bought a similar one from eBay for a few quid about 3-4 years ago ideal for holding your camera for YouTube videos and stuff

Yeah, heat added though, great price just gutted I missed it mate

There was actually 5 used good ones and 1 used very good which i bought (y)

only two @Maevoric :(

and if anyone wants a code, this popped up..... YUKECRMQLZG35BM

Apparently there is but would not replace the faulty one as price had gone back up so could only have a refund Also should be aware previous posts by this company have been removed from HUKD for self promotion

thanks just thought there was this 1 year warranty with go pro hence was optimistic.

good to know.

Bought one when £69 and had to return as faulty. Tried to reference on eBay but they did not publish

Now £38.99 with £5 off promotion. This deal should be expired really.

Thanks for that, bought one yesterday and for the life of me couldn't find that setting

I got this camera today, but whilst great picture, the thing keeps dropping connection and I can't work out why. Things seemed fine at first, nice smooth video streaming for several minutes. But now, even after resetting the router & app on my phone it keeps dropping connection.

Now £29.99 from the above link (white 1) with an additional 7% voucher to add on page, so now about £27.91.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

I have this, does anyone know why motion detect only picks up car movement and no people movement. Even when walking straight towards it, didnt 'detect' and alert me.

Black 1080p one has 5% off as well bringing it down to £28.49

Got the 1080p one and pretty impressed for the money. Bought a couple of the 1080p static ones for £25. Will be replacing my foscams.

Just ordered this thanks op (y) heat!

I believe they’re popular with the dance recital community

Yes us oldies who want more than X2 zoom. as much as I love taking pictures on a phone the zoom is pants.

Yes, people whose still shopping in Currys.

Does anyone still buy these?

Very limited stock. Nothing in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle or South London where I can get it collected. Managed to reserve one in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders but await the usual call to say they don't actually have the stock. Thanks for posting though, hope I get one as would be fun to try out.

Has Amazon price matched this yet?

Takes good photos (compared to its immediate competitors) at 5376 x 2688, but it's not great for videos, so only a good buy if you want to take stills. 360 cameras have a lot of limitations, not least the small lenses and the fact that the image will be sharper in the two directions the cameras are pointing, and softer towards where the edges are pointing, but all (2 lens) 360 cameras have these limitations. The quality is like a decent-ish phone camera.

Looks interesting. But is it any good? Seems very low res.

I use it with my iPhone 6plus and my wife’s iPhone 6.

true, i dont :p you say they DO show 23.99 - thats present tense which means it should show it now it doesn't so...

When AMAZON had it listed as £19.98 they had the regular price (i.e. £23.98) greyed out with a line through (i.e. the "normal" price they sell at). Anyway, you don't believe me so no point continuing with this. PS Can still be bought through Amazon from MyMemory at £19.99 for those who prefer.

tbh not sure you are looking right - as far as i can see amazon dont show ANY 'normal' price for this card they just show 23.69 - not any previous or rrp or anything they have sold it for 30.99 until oct 2018 so ... i am going to belive 3camels ;) 19.99 is the price ON amazon but not FROM amazon

Well camel x 3 have got it wrong then. It was £19.99, sold by Amazon, for at least 2 weeks up until the 3rd December, (as I'm sure people who used my link above at the time found out). BTW Amazon show £23.99 as the normal price, not £33.99 claimed by MyMemory.

camelcamel says 23.69 is lowest its been its been 19.99 3rd party since 28th nov

Got the £100 cashback payed into my PayPal. I really like this camcorder and will use it a lot but for shear reach, it doesn't compete against the Panasonic 4K Camera that is the Lumix FZ-2000 which I would recommend over this.

Ah LAX, I Called up to state the price had changed and as a "good will" gesture getting £15 credited back. I now have my invoice which clearly states 29-NOV-18 order so £100 cashback should be honoured as it complies with #4 of the Pana T&C. Mine arrives tomorrow - could do with it first thing as I have a lot of video to do tomorrow morning! Will post back on my thoughts - this will be my 8th camcorder, first 4 Sony, next 4 Pana! First 4K one!

Noticed the drop as well, but didn't get around to cancelling the order. My item is being shipped today. Their policy has changed, so I'd need to return this item and re-order if I want to take advantage of the drop. I'll wait and see, but quite likely won't bother for the difference. I guess that's exactly what they bank on :-(.

Crikey, the price has dropped to £584.10 !! Still can't make up my mind, though :)

The OP's Amazon deal has gone up to £649 - hope it comes down again before Christmas!

Bought one, failed on first use, returned for refund. Beware

That looks like the older 2014 model. The 2018 Hero is the one that can be flashed

Damn Out of stock. What about this one. Is it the 5 that can be flashed to black? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GoPro-HERO-LCD-Touch-Screen-Action-Camera-Camcorder-Certified-Refurbished-/183458716333

I've a pair of these and always worked great, it's a shame the form factor didn't really take off as I prefer them over the other bulkier action cameras. I have a couple of the newer ones as well and don't miss the lack of 4K on the older ones although do like the better batterylife on the Session 5's, that said this is a great price for the older model. I bought a Session 5 from this company and no issues with them, it was a white box but the camera seemed in as new condition and has worked fine.

I would imagine the comments on these probably come from people who don’t or never have had one. Apart from the kite surfer who must be throwing some abuse at theirs. I have had one for a few years that I use on my motorcycle, it is brilliant. The footage is crystal clear and the quality is outstanding. At £70 is buy another without hesitation.

Quick question for Go pro users? Is there a 'normal' hat I can wear and put the small go pro in it, so I can take videos without having to hold a phone in front of my son's face, that is actually a hat to keep you warm and/or socially a 'normal' hat? (Not after a helmet thing).

What would be better - Gopro Hero 7 Silver or YI 4+? Both are around £200 at the moment

Check voucher cloud you can get 10 pound off. Question - is silver hero 7 or this 2018 hero for £149 better??

It's actually not better than the hero 5 black. It has a built in battery and a few other limitations. It's not an upgrade for hero 5 black or 6 black owners.

Just get the Hero 7 Black. You won’t regret spending the extra for the stabilisation and Timewarp. It’s great.

Hmmmm. I ordered 5 of these. Arrived and they have just sent one and on the invoice enclosed crossed out the 5 and replaced with a 1. Contacted them via Amazon.

Don't worry, he'll only have recorded the back of your head.

What's happened to inflation? It's been stuck at £250 for 25 years!

OOS now

This is Chinese 1080p, which in this case is apparently 720p upscaled, or just under 1 megapixels. Cheap enough I suppose though.

Cheap enough :D

1920×1080 = 2,073,600 pixels.

Yes. FHD is actually 2.1 Megapixel I believe.

2mp = HD ? ERM...

Yep...u're losing speed when using the adapter, so best buying an sd card, not micro sd

Thanks for this, just bought 2

Good deal. Need a fast card for my Panasonic 4k camcorder. Heat added.

Think I'm going to go for this over the Samsung EVO and the Sandisk Ultra for my D3300, any reason not to before I pull the trigger tomorrow? SD is more reliable than micro sd right?

Can anyone tell me if this one is ok please

Cold from me. Looks same spec as ones that are available from Chinese retailers for around £10. Personally I would suggest spending a little more and getting something that will do more than 30 FPS at 1080p. The 4k (interpolated) cameras are regularly available on Amazon for around £30. They also have built in WiFi etc.

£20.98 with delivery (y)

Just a quick follow up to let buyers know that I have received the camera....fast delivery from Argos!! The box was a bit tatty but the camera is in perfect condition and all the main accessories are included. I will be using the camera for vlogging and shot some footage with it this morning...the external mic and quick macro focus make it perfect for the type of filming that I do and it shoots better for my specific needs than any phone, dslr, tablet that I own. Happy days and I hope that all of the buyers enjoy it!!

For this camera it’s not nonsense actually, there are compact 30x zoom cameras for the same quality, why carry this in 2018. So all you will miss in a phone camera camera is the zoom but quality is not far off (if I compare with this). So everything depends what’s your usage. I don’t think of carry a camera like this for 30x zoom which I may not even use.

No, I got it ok, thanks! :) Just picked yours to reply to, but spotted a lot on the thread suggesting a phone camera is as good, and in some cases better. Which is nonsense

Just ignore anyone who doesn't think that this is a fantastic find. I for one am very grateful for your post and have bought one, thank you. I use all kinds of video capture devices for my YouTube channel, camcorders, actioncams, phones etc. Anyone of these devices are good if it suits the shooting scenario, because of this it becomes very subjective to say that one's better than another. Although, the one thing that I can say for sure is that this camcorder at its usual price, about £230, is great value. At this price, for something that'll be in perfected condition with a 12 month warranty, it's an absolute no brainer. BTW. Regardless of the type of camera, anything with OIS and a mic input is unheard of at anywhere close to this price, regardless of resolution etc. Oh yes, and optics made by Zeiss. Again, thank you for posting this, it's more than appreciated. Cheers, Dave.

you need to consider resolution vs bitrate... not just resolution. handycams provide BETTER video then mobile phones by far (generally speaking) BUT inferior to DSLR's... - handycams have better encoding (re: "bitrate") therefore much more video can be captured (vs DSLR on high settings) also they are 3-4x less expensive, smaller and lighter... so it depends what your intention is AND what you are going to be displaying the media on... some peoples intention is to merely "obtain electronic device".. if you are not interested in photos, want decent quality video and plan to record alot, then buy a handycam...

There were at least 3 on the shelf @ ~2pm

Is there more of them?

Whats a camcorder case? (lol)

"Not available to collect in or near xxxxxxx"

A Camcorder...wow....my grandad used to have one of those. He would have been chuffed to bit.

Still in stock in Swansea

Great price , no stock in or near Chester (poo)
