Any suggestions? Online or in the north west.

Looking to buy a Fuji S5500 as the new 5600 is out and the old model is going cheap.
Pixmania seems best, anyone used them?

Ta muchly.

I would trust Pixmania because I like their website. I was going to buy one from them, but I changed my mind and went for internetcameradirect. Then Murray stole my camera. Citylink are wank, but I've used ICD before and they were fine too.

www.7dayshop.com or pixmania

Have used both to order topend stuff, no probs whatsoever.

If you order from pixmania the manual will be in French tho.

Hi ~YuckFou~

I've used Pixmania in the past for my camera and they were great, shipped it from France in the afternoon and it arrived the next day. Despite the origin the product and manual were in English (well, multilingual, but the same as you'd buy on the high street). You can also collect from their place in London if you're so inclined. The only thing to watch out for is any service packages they may automatically add to your shopping basket. I'm sure it has its benefits, but it's somewhat annoying. You can, however, remove it easily from your shopping basket before paying.

Kind Regards

*Click buy*

Pixmania added £25 worth of warranty crap that i didn't want and removed.
I went with the express delivery (£9) so lets see :)

Could you say how it all goes? I heard they sometimes ship out European power leads as well as the manuals instead of English so would be a bit of a pain to have to go out and get them afterward. (ok so I'm lazy) Of course if the cash saved meant it was still cheaper to do it that way then I may be tight enough to use them.

Am only after a little budget camera tbh so won't be saving too much. Was looking at the Fuji FinePix A350. If anyone could tell me how good/crap it is for the price it would be much appreciated and if crap then any other recommendations for about £150 or lower. (would only be used for dragging around holidays/theme parks and don't want anything too flash or bulky, just better than a 2mp cameraphone ;) )

hm can't edit my message now. Might look at the Nikon Coolpix series after reading the odd review.

Camera arrived in 48 hrs. It's got 3 manuals one is english. The power lead is euro but they supplied a UK adaptor so all is good :)
Camera is the shiznit compared to my older A204.

I used Pixmania to buy a car stereo from once, they weren't bad.
