yep i got the cameo
works fine on win7 64 bit
is quite straight forward how to use it and the software that came with it is easy to use.
I went for pack b from mdp but i should of got machine on its own really as most of the paper it came with was vinyl for vans (got loads of this already )

The Cameo is quite a new machine so there aren't huge numbers of users with them just yet, but the main difference over the Craft ROBO is the extra width of cutting. You should be able to get within 1cm of the edge so even with that limitation you're still cutting 280mm width from the 300mm max capability as opposed to the 210mm width of the ROBO. Not a great deal of difference in cost price over the ROBO either as the ROBO was £195/£199 +vat and these are about an extra £30-£50 +vat on top. Great value machines and come with the standard software with an option to upgrade to the designer software from Graphtec at £29.99 (inc vat).
