Not as pretty as the black one, but for that price I suppose I could tolerate its 80s looks...

Roll on lottery win...

Exactly!

The grey/silver versions always seem to end-up on heavy discount IME.

I reckon Jessops must be in big trouble offering some prices that are way under anything I've seen elsewhere.

The Sony (alpha) DSLR-A200K is a pretty amazing deal too - £274 at Jessops.

They don't seem to do finance anymore either, or at least I couldn't see it on their website the other day

There's a few people doing cheaper than that. £239 inc P&P at Bristol Cameras at the time of writing. According to Park Cameras there's a £30 cashback on A200s purchased before the end of the year and they're selling it for £269.

Actually, I think we've passed it. Ffordes are listing two Canon film bodies available from new stock - of which the cheapest is the Canon EOS 30V + 28-105mm: £379 or £329 for a body only. Though, arguably, the 30V is a mid-range body.
