Azz - Ive used Simplyelectronics a few occasions - they import from Hong kong via courier.
It's genuine gear and usually arrives within 4 days. (Hong kong to Cyprus)
They also have offices based in the UK. I would have no hesitation buying from them.

Hmm - is it anything to worry about coming from Hong Kong though? I was once told that depending on where the cameras/lenses come from they may have difficulty working with cameras or lenses from other places... that could be a load of bull though. Was told this at camera club in Swansea - that on no account should you buy gear from Hong Kong or America... :/

The main thing I'd worry about is warranty (as the manufacturer may refuse to fix it if it's not an official UK product) and damage via transit.

Mmm - I have a problem with warranty anyway - it's a fiasco - but because of the very high tax on certain things here, it's just not right to buy here instead of UK - so I risk it, and hope I don't get caught with import taxes!

If you believe what you read on the internet check out Broadway Photo where I bought my Nikon D90. The reports could be much worse yet my order came through in the 3 days promised, for the price I was promised. I haven't one single complaint. Always realize that few post good reports but all it takes is one disgruntled bad egg to post a negative trashing of anything.
Oh, and that was from an American vendor.
