Was just about to post this deal but you've beaten me to it. Can't comment on the lens but gets good reviews. I'm very tempted but not really convinced I can justify it, bought myself a few too many presents recently!

I've been twice and looking back it probably wasn't worth taking the camera, but it's still good practice. Monopod might be good if you'll be standing on a bank for a few hrs Anyone managed to sneak through to mulsanne straight etc? We got quite far once but then got caught. I've heard there...

I love mine, bought a refurb from crucial ages ago with only 1 months warranty, been fine ever since and makes an average PC so responsive. Sounds like you know your stuff so assume you're following the online guides WRT what to turn off to make them last, either way 5 days is no good. Third...

It looks like a pretty good deal if you're after this flash, but not astounding. It does ETTL for canon and has some level of manual control which is good, but the flash power could be a bit higher. I think the Yongnuo from ebay/amazon is excellent value but that doesn't do ETTL. Digital SLR...

Another fan of WP here too, just easy to use and does what you want. Also find it works so well with windows pc's, has office built in etc. The Nokia satnav is also excellent considering the price (free). I currently use a Lumia 710 but looking to upgrade to a 820/920 when I see a good deal

That's a good price for the Canon, but if you wait there's a good chance the price will go back up £20 or so. Personally I'd choose the Canon as it gets a good write up on Ken Rockwell's site, but I don't know anything about the Tamron.

From my little technical knowledge I understand this is because the camera receives too little light and therefore contrast to be able to decide where to focus. Your focus works at f/36 because the lens is wide open at the time it focuses - the lens only stops down to f/36 when the shutter...

Got mine too now :)

I had confirmation it had been approved on the 15th Dec, waiting for BACS payment now. Sounds odd you had to supply a photo of the lens, guess it's a spot check thing.

I've just submitted my claim online, hopefully it goes through OK. I PDF'd the email order confirmation and appended a picture of the delivery note on the end. The email contained the £10 argos code so I'm hoping they're not cheeky and use it! Rob, do you get a chance to appeal the rejection or...

Got mine :) came via citylink. Can't wait to start playing tonight! Need to sort the Canon cashback too, looks easy enough via this link https://canonwintercashback.sales-promotions.com/?country_promotion=2&lng=en

just had a call from an 01494 number, it's being delivered tomorrow!

I agree with killwilly, and it also showed in stock for most of Monday. It's not unreasonable in this computer age for argos to show accurate stock figures. Given the price I'll also wait, wish I'd remembered to get topcashback though!

Never heard of them before this purchase, on their about us page: Better Service - We bring you next day delivery on orders received by 6pm [on in stock items], replacement components and swift exchanges promptly and courteously. Even the guy who got his 7d this week had to wait 5 working...

Same. Have some lucky people received theirs?
