Title: A300 availablility in UK
Post by: Carlj on March 24, 2008, 11:59:09 PM
Rumours had it that only one place would be stocking this - seems to be true (which could be bad for price drops...). And it's Jessops.

But the price point ain't at all bad for the specs. 10mp, AS, liveview with a tilting screen - all for £70 lessthan the Nikon D60! £399 and it's yours Guvnor!

Is that £70 more, or less than the Nikone D60?  ???

I have never tried anything other than a Nikon or Canon (I know I should) .  That price looks pretty good though.  ;)

The A200 is a joy to handle Mick (had an extended play in store) and from reviews, has great iq too. The liveview with fast af and tilting screen makes a mockery of the big two's version!
