What would be cheaper, buying now with cashback, or waiting till the sales?!

Right guys, I'm having a bit of a dilemma! After accidentally breaking my last point and shoot, I've decided to replace it with the Canon SX200. Currently, the best price is £215, and there's a cashback offer on taking it down to £175.

However, this offer is only on until Christmas Eve, so it might or might not be in the sales, and if so it's a guess as to whether it'll drop below £175. All I know is I need it for skiing in the second week of january.... What do we think is the best plan?! I'm so torn!

Thanks soooo much!

Chris

On a similar note, anyone know what the lottery numbers will be tomorrow?

Well I wasn't really after anyone giving me an exact answer, but I was hoping a few will have been in my position in previous years, and have chosen one way or the other, and were either very happy or kicking themselves come the sales!!

Edit: They're 4, 17, 22, 28, 32, and 40

If it helps, I bought my D300 just before Christmas a couple of years ago.....


the price dropped by £100 on Boxing Day
