Looks like it's setup for the UK, at least the returns address is.
Can be had even cheaper if you trust other dodgy looking websites.

I took a look at slrhut when I was buying mine, shocking reviews almost universally. Price seemed too good to be true and i guess it is.
US based even though they have a UK number and reports suggest second user items and terrible customer service. Plus no cash back, is it worth the risk to save a fiver?

I know theres a few slightly cheaper from non-confirmed sites. Given the small price difference my money would be with Costco I think. 2 year guarantee as standard, if its the same warranty as with their TVs its a straight no questions replacement or refund.

To be honest, if you're spending this much, you might as well get the latest version i.e. 760D.

If you are upgrading an older Canon yes, otherwise get a Nikon D5500 for similar money.

The 750D and 760D came out simultaneously, and use identical imaging hardware. The differences are in the other features, most notably the LCD top plate, additional control dial, eye sensor to turn the screen off, and servo AF in live view. The 760D is quite a bit more expensive, you're looking at £520 or more for just the body (the18-55mm kits seem to have disappeared from online stores), which is pretty substantial compared to this deal for features some users may not get a whole lot of use out of. For upgraders from previous crop Canons who won't use the kit lens then yeah, the added functionality is definitely worth considering (although if you're paying that much for a 760D body for more features, moving to the 70D is also worth the extra cash on top of that), but for first time buyers or budget conscious upgraders then the added expense for a 760D isn't essential.

Precisely, this is what id found from research. This is a lot of camera for £450.

Fair enough :smiley: I have the 500D (and got it when the 550D was in-trend with the 600D just coming out...) and now it is so far behind in terms of the series that I've personally decided to invest in whatever is the newest/most sophisticated (of either XXX/XX/X series) rather than save a little and regret it in the future. It takes excellent photos (albeit subjective as I have not trialed a more recent version) but when compared to the most recent spec, it's probably worth upgrading and would just ask people consider future-proofing as you never know in 2 years time whether those features are actually needed.

Mine was confirmed within 3 days when I bought last month.
