I have just discovered the online store Calemet here are some examples of camera and lens prices:

Nikon D80 Body Only - Price: £269.00
Canon EOS 400d (Rebel XTi) Black SLR Kit - Price: £240.00
Nikon 18-200mm G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Price: £291.00
Canon EF 28-200 f/3.5 - 5.6 USM Lens - Price: £112.00

Until 30/04/07 shipping is free on orders over 100 Euros; as the goods come from overseas, I emailed the company regarding HM Customs Duty/Vat and this is their reply:

"Dear himmelblau,

If you are ordering from the European Union you will not have to pay taxes."

They also sell:

Camcorders
Desktop Computers
Digital Cameras
DVD Players
GPS
Laptops/Notebooks
Lenses
LCD/Plasma TV
Media Players
Mini Systems
Mobile Phones
Monitors
MP3 Players
PDAs
Projection TV
Receivers
Video Cards

I have not used them but am considering ordering from them in the future when I have the funds to do and will keep you posted.

Brian thanks for the info on this site, I am looking for some bits and pieces,I will try them and let you know how I get on. many thanks Alonzo

Wonder why all prices are euros when its a .co.uk domain and they are based in London :rolleyes:

Anybody purchased from them?

Top right hand corner of the home page is a drop down menu "choose your currency" you can chose between US dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Euros and the good old Pound sterling. It then displays the prices in the currency of your choice.

Would be very interesting to know if anybody has bought through them alright. thumbup

Hello to all

sorry if this appears twice ? but I think I made a cock up trying to reply to this topic so second time lucky?.
I have had a look at this website and at first glance seems very cheap (CANON EOS 5D £843.00 ? WOW ).
But as my dear departed mother would say If it looks to good to be true it probably is? ( I love my mom saved me a fortune over the years).
FIRST .co.uk this dose not mean that the products are UK based it is just part of a domain name
SECOND the word to look for is SHIPPING if you see this word on websites you should allways check it out
BAck to our cheap website the products are shipped from south korea or china therefor if detected by HM Customs you are responsable for import duty and also vat.

Ihope this has been of some help to you
best regards
