Well done Geoff, seems cheap enough but I don't know anything about these things. Love your screen name. :D Did you win lotto recently, set top boxes, P&S, etc.

Thinking about your P&S, I would have a look at those credit card sized Nikons in a store, then order you know where, my thinking being the smaller the camera the more likely you will use it. If you want features you always have the big guns at home.

Good luck Geoff, hope you don't have any problems. They have 364 negative feedback, 52 in the last month. It seems they don't like returning emails.

Philip, you are a sleuth! The 98.5% looked good, but 52 in the last month, the most recent posted at 1.03pm today. Might be worth doing a pick up Geoff on this one, just to be sure.

Hmmm...Glen another member on the forum got one recently - had it within 5 days via AUSPOST..I have already received an email saying payment has been received and that it will be shipped shortly. I also emailed them with a query and got a very quick response. Fingers crossed.

SOunds great for the price, while it's no Topfield it also lacks the Toppy's price tag. You'll be a happy camer. Hope you checked you have digital TV reception.

been thinking about getting one one those.
I have a dvinco usb hdtv tuner one one of the PCs
that does all that good stuff including recording to hd

makes me realise what I am missing on digital.
I have foxtel here and it annoys me that 7 and 10 havent entered into an agreement with foxtel so I cant view their schedule on foxtel tv guide.
