or too cheap to be true?

They have probably claimed back the £140 cashback, but if you buy a cheap flight to anywhere from Gatwick or LHR, then this would be an option:

http://www.dixonstaxfree.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseactio...

Eligible for the £140 cashback as well, making the total price under £600 for 40D and lens.

Ah good point, that dixons price seems very expensive for a body only!

thanks for your help

The Dixons duty free price includes the 17-85mm kit lens.

I was *very* tempted by it on the way back from overseas on Friday afternoon when I had 6 hours to waste at Gatwick....
