Hi all,
I was looking into the replacement for the HX30V from Sony which is due in April (overseas) but stumbled onto this deal at Hardly Normal. It is a very good price as the HX30V costs > $300 (locally) and the only difference is the Wifi feature (some say it is a bit flakey). For $174 (minus $5 for the WELCOME5 promotional code) I think a Sony 20x zoom camera isn't bad. It has good reviews overseas and apparently the video is full HD (1920x1080). So while waiting for the WX300 I bough one to play with.
Forgot to add that it is postage ONLY. Seems there is NO stock instore.
It says SUPERWEEKEND so I am not sure if this will be there tomorrow (monday).
For review.

Bummer, although I guess maybe you weren't so keen on the SX260 anyway if you didn't press the matter.
I was given a tracking number from "Temando" and my HX30V arrived yesterday with bonus 32GB SD card and $30 voucher, so I'm super happy. Though now I'm actually torn about whether to unpack it or sell it (I owned a HX20V previously and sold it to save toward an eventual RX100 purchase, but still had a soft spot for the HX20V and couldn't resist this deal).
