Samsung Galaxy Camera (Reduced)

Sully · 30-12-2013 06:17PM #1

Hey,
I was shopping around all the Irish suppliers for the Samsung Galaxy Camera. The cheapest was DID at €409.99 but PCWorld have agreed to reduce the price tomorrow to €399.95. I collected the product in store today and the actual reduction came to €369.95. The RRP is €599.99.

They said if you order the camera now, make reference to the price promise during the order and it will be honoured.

It's a very average camera for that price.
You'd be much better off buying a Sony RX100 / Fuji X20 or even X-M1.

There's a savage deal on Amazon.co.uk at the moment for the X-M1 at
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-X-M1-Camera-Silver-16-50mm/dp/B00DM7X69A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388428494&sr=8-1&keywords=xm1

Get £100 to Spend at Amazon Plus £100 Cashback When You Buy this Product
So basically it's going to cost you 229 GBP !!!

Sorry, I was more about in an store purchase or purchase from a company in Ireland. I'm sure ebay and Amazon would come in cheaper, but I meant more local.

EDIT: I'm not getting that price on Amazon? Pixmania is not the same model (without 3G) and Expansys works out at €333.51 incl. delivery (still cheaper than PC World, but not available in store)

You've to change the colour of the camera to get the 229GBP.

The white one comes in at 229GBP.

Sully,

If you end up getting it will you give us the low down? Thinking of getting one.

Thanks.

Will send you a PM later.

I have to return the camera to Samsung, as it came with a UK 3 Mobile SIM Card only. It took a lot of calls, with Samsung saying it had nothing to do with them (despite the branding on the leaflet for the SIM card being all Samsung and 3) and Curry's originally saying it had nothing to do with them. To be fair to Samsung, they offered me a full refund / exchange.

Eventually, someone in the shop checked and found a camera with a Irish 3 Mobile SIM Card. So on way now to pick it up. Just a word of caution to people who do buy this, Samsung think the camera will be 'locked' to the UK network if it has a UK Sim within (even though they still claimed it had nothing to do with them and they are '100% sure it doesn't come from Samsung packed with a SIM Card and it must be a mistake / retailer promotion').

Assume the price drop is a result of the new one just being announced..

Lady in the shop said they are clearing out the old to get the new model. Anyway, didn't get my replacement got a refund instead as they couldn't guarantee it would work! Samsung tech support no knowledge, same with Currys tech and Three. Even their local sales rep! Lady in shop rang around.

Might be worthwhile keeping an eye on Dixon's travel in Dublin airport if anyone is passing through. I got the exact same black one for €320 back in August, white one was ~€380 iirc. Might be reduced further by now if they still stock it.

Got the free Tab 2 7" with it as well

Think that offer is finished now though.

I got one anyway. Was down to $400 CAD from a normal $600, most other store now have it on sale for $475. Review to come soon.

That works out more expensive than buying it over here though, doesn't it?

iamstop · 15-01-2014 03:21AM

Yeah at 550 it does but I got it for $400.
