    Is DSW what their online is called?

    Mind putting "online only" in the title just to make it a little more clear.
    You can't actually get them in store (at least it doesn't give me the option).

    I know you say "+ delivery", but "online only" would make it a little more clear.

    Other then that, looks nice for the price.

        Very common to release them a month before the date on the cover.

    • Utopian on 20/05/2013 - 10:13

      All the owner's reviews I found complain about the "waterproof" aspect, and the non-existent warranty related to it. It's possibly the nicest looking camera, but the solid review sites suggest its the weaker of a bad bunch. All about compromise with this style of camera. They all suck at several aspects, even top end ones. That said, damn its cheap. Can't go wrong.

      • team teri on 20/05/2013 - 10:34

        If you read the 1 * ratings on Amazon for any of the waterproof cameras you will find that the majority of complaints are that water got into them.

        It happens to every model with varying frequency. Draw your own conclusions about why, the split between user error and manufacturing problem will vary between models too…

        Regarding warranty: thanks to http://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees a manufacturer can't walk away from their responsibilities too easily any more. If they advertise it as waterproof it better be waterproof.

        I had a Panasonic FT1 that died on me after about 1 year. It was replaced on warranty by the FT2, which died after 18 months. For me that rules out Panasonic as a brand because I know it was not a user error but that their seals decay quite quickly.

        Panasonic actually wrote in their users manual that you need to get it serviced every year - but who does that? I did not find a similar requirement in the online version of the Canon manual.

  • Sydgun on 19/05/2013 - 21:19

    For the really picky ones, this camera can only shoot 1 frame per second.. but at that price I don't think it really matters? ;P

    • cheepwun on 19/05/2013 - 21:25

      it's closer to 2 frames per second.
      http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_D20/
      " I tested the D20's continuous shooting with a freshly formatted speed class 10 SD card and it actually managed a little better than the quoted speed, but even 2.2 frames per second isn't going to help you capture fast action. Let's face it, a lot of what this camera will be used for is action shots - surfing, snowboarding, kayaking and the like - but also the kids sledging and in the pool - and so the lack of a decent burst mode is a bit of a disappointment."

      It also has 1080 video and a fast frame mode (albeit in low resolution).
      Sluggish frame rate is its biggest disappointment, apparently, so if that's what you're looking for, get it in another model :)

    What a timely deal, thanks heaps!

    I was about to cave in and buy the Sony DSC-TX20 for $219 (I know it was listed for $106 here a while ago and I would have been heartbroken to fork out twice as much, but I did not see any better option).

    The only small regret: I wish whoever had listed all those cameras in the comments here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/100507 had instead started a new deal.

    We could have had the camera a month ago and we would have had a choice between this and the Nikon AW100 which has even better reviews…

      The deal is better. But no Costco in WA, so not an option for me :-(

      Whether the camera is better depends on your purpose. The Sony is much lighter and more stylish. The Canon will take more abuse before breaking. I need on for snorkelling only and with the Sony would always have worried - 5m max, 60 min max…

  • Archerwin on 20/05/2013 - 10:37

    I ordered last night, I checked my Order Status today and it said it was Backordered. I checked dicksmith online and it says it is "In Stock". I called their customer hotline and the one who answered the phone told me that they have no stock already and will not be receiving any stock anymore. I told here, the camera is still "in stock" in their website and go the "oh, it's just a problem on the website, I will get it fixed". They refunded me the money but the problem is I ordered an SDHC card for this already from another website!!!! That one I cannot refund because I will not be receiving the camera anymore. WTF! I thought this happens to small website companies only.

      'Steve' mentioned that they do not hold stock of these. they only place the order for these types of items once they have 'a few orders'.

      he explained that there are quite a few people waiting for these so he should expect to see these being orders and received in the warehouse this week

  • S3ISOR on 21/05/2013 - 11:42

    Hey guys. I called DSE online support this morning for an update ton the status of my order. The salesman said that quite a few orders of this camera had been filled, but there was no stock for my order and several others. He also said that the camera is discontinued, and would not be getting back-ordered. Hence, I received a refund.
    I asked if the system would eventually automatically cancel the order and refund (because I figure there would be heaps of others like me who have their order 'back-ordered'?) He said that every Wednesday the system generates a report of all outstanding or problem orders. So potentially, there will be a lot of cancelled orders and unhappy people comes this Wednesday/Thursday.
    I hope at least some people on here get theirs. Another bum deal from DSE. At least the online staff were nice about it. Thanks anyway OP.

    • team teri on 21/05/2013 - 13:28
      +2

      Thanks for the update. But I think DSE was pulling your leg when they called the camera 'discontinued'. The D20 is barely a year old, no successor has been announced and the previous model, the D10 was sold for 3 years. The D20 is also in stock basically everywhere else.

      Maybe they meant that DSE does not intend to stock that camera any longer. That is their choice of course, but when it comes to their backorder policy they still need to order cameras in for us and supply them at the price we paid.

      From their own policy:
      "In the instance where a product is not readily available for shipment, we will use our best endeavours to procure the product from our suppliers within 30 days from the date that you place your order. We also guarantee to lock in the original purchase price of the back ordered item."
      http://dicksmith.com.au/help/online-backorders-policy-conten…

      • S3ISOR on 21/05/2013 - 13:35

        Good point. As you say, maybe DSE just isn't stocking it anymore. If you don't mind waiting, and don't need the money, it might be worth seeing what happens with their backorder policy. If they do end up supplying backordered cameras at this price, then it really is a great bargain. Good luck!

      • cheepwun on 21/05/2013 - 14:01

        This could also happen too. http://www.current.com.au/2013/03/08/article/Dick-Smith-apol…

        I really dislike stores that "keep you hanging".

      Bad news guys.

      Just off the phone with Canon directly. They confirmed that the camera is the current model. Not discontinued.

      But: they were overwhelmed by demand and can't keep up with it. If DSE did not already place an order (and it would seem they did not), it would take more than a month before they can get hold of any stock, assuming they order directly from Canon Australia.

      That is long enough that they can back out of their commitment to us unfortunately…

    Anyone know if the OLYMPUS TG630 camera is better than this?

        Comparison is wrong. TG630 also has 240fps.

        Olympus physically looks better.

    Just got offered an Olympus instead. What to do????

    Due to overwhelming demand we have sold out of the Canon D20 Camera you ordered from us. We will be receiving more stock from Canon in 5 weeks time.
    If you are happy to wait for the product then you don't need to do anything and we will ship your product as soon as it arrives.

    If this is not suitable we can offer an Olympus TG-630 Tough Camera XG1036 at the same price of $133.50 for immediate delivery (see product link below). If you would prefer this option or would like to cancel your order then please contact our call centre on 1300 366 644.
