Went into Jessops yesterday to see the Canon 20D ..... loverly jubberly! (Glad I waited and didn't jump onto the Nikon D70 Bandwagon!)

Its a stunning piece of kit and the same price as the Nikon, or thereabouts.

Went into Dixons next and got the Nikon D70 out with the Canon EOS300D ... amazingly, I liked the Canon again (they didn't have the 20D) - the 20D Kit comes with the SAME lens as the 300D!!

When the salesman saw me giving a positive feedback with reference to the 300D he knocked £50 off there and then, when I said that the start-up time on the 300D wasn't something I would really worry about (its quicker in real life than the reviews would have you believe!) he called the manager over!

They looked at the PC of stock and prices, the manager said to the salesman, "you know what we can do, you know we need to shift that stock quickly, do what you want"

Then came the offers!!

Camera, 512Mb Lexar high speed card, and £75 off!

Then came the free case, ...... I remained silent ..... battery too, Sir??

I smiled and said I would give it my utmost consideration, ok, sir - £100 off and all those freebies

Are they really so desperate to get rid of the Canon EOS300D?? and if so - we can expect to see it at £499 by Xmas, £399 in January!

Hold your horses - because the Nikon D70 is going to get such a kicking by the Canon 20D ...... I can see that being given away with cornflakes soon too!!

Mental!
