Always up for a searching challenge... My experience was that looking to buy the camera and housing separately (they're both mainstream products) looked like the cheapest route.

A quick search via Offer of the Day - All the best discount deals from major UK retailers suggests Amazon have the F31 at £140 and the F30 at £132.

Fuji Fuji Finepix F30 UK Digital Cameras F30 £125 - best I've found so far...

Fuji themselves have a refurb at £115 Refurbished Digital Camera Shop from Fujifilm and their website says the housing is out of stock (so I wonder if others' delivery forecasts are optimistic?)

Postage is always an issue (ie compare like for like).

Housings are harder - they seem to be in variable supply. £120 upwards, normal price £150. I think mine came from Fuji Finepix F30 Underwater Case WP-FXF30 and accessories from the Digital Camera Company UK

Fuji F30 Underwater Housing & - UNDERWATER HOUSINGS for Digital Cameras - Underwater Cameras seemingly have the package (camera and housing) at £280 but no stock indication.

Diving Direct package at £270!!

FujiZone by GreatDigitalDeals - Your Dedicated UK Fuji Outlet worth a look.

The Cameras Underwater: Fuji WP-FXF30 underwater housing and Ikelite 6154.20, 6154.30 for F20 and F30,F31fd deal is better than it looks as it includes a half-way decent card and leather case (a nice leather if it's the Fuji one!). They're more likely to have stock than most.

Right - that's enough... PM here or YD if you want any further advice...

Memory - a 1GB card is more than ample, 7dayshop.com - Online shopping made easy ! are excellent on price. I personally use an external card reader to download pics to the PC - some card readers have problems with some 1GB XD cards, there are easy solutions.

Good luck!
