My shutter is kaputt. (goodbye, 300D)

40D body from B&H, shipping with UPS included for $1058.45 = R8,288.66

A good deal, even at the horrific exchange rate.

Closer to R9400.00 with VAT and a good deal but some people dont want to have to forgo the local warranty.

 

[koffiejunkie]

True, I forgot about the VAT. But then, I sent my dad's camera with UPS, and neither of us were charged VAT. And yes, I did declare the content and value.

I can't argue the local warranty though.

18200 shots

Looking for an excuse to get a new toy?
Take it back to canon, see what they have to say. Shouldn't be a bit deal.

Oooh that sucks ldmelsa :/

That image breaks my heart

It's like R2000 - R2500. It's not worth it.

 

[koffiejunkie]

ldmelsa, what are you shooting with now? I see your last pics on flickr are dated today?

 

[AntiThesis]

Maybe he got the new toy?

 

[koffiejunkie]

He doesn't want us to be too jealous about that D3 he got - that must be why he changed his flickr profile to not show the camera information any more.

 

[AntiThesis]

Could be... could be

I'm sure news will be forthcoming

 

[ldmelsa]

I took some pics of my new baby with the k1000 but the film has not been processed yet. Be patient.
Lets just say, EFS lenses won't fit.

You must spill

BTW, joined the flickr group - some nice shots there.

Thanks for joining.

 

[koffiejunkie]

hehe. I was really referring to the pics you added to flickr today. They show "Taken on July 7, 2008" - or is that the exif from your scanner?

 

[koffiejunkie]

Oh wait, you weren't referring to a human baby

I'm guessing a D80

Must be the data from the shop's scanner.

No, it's a Canon.

 

[koffiejunkie]

Ooh! You got one of those elusive 5D mkII beta models?

 

[ldmelsa]

Errr, no. It's an EOS3 (second hand).

Must still get a new digital.

 

[koffiejunkie]

Errr, no. It's an EOS3 (second hand).

Backup for the K-1000?

Must still get a new digital.

What are you thinking of getting?

 

[ldmelsa]

LOL - You sure love K1000.

What are you thinking of getting?

I don't know.
How much will it cost for me to get this:

because the shops here want R30k.
Have you ever bought anything from B&H? I wonder if it will be worth it to get it from B&H. SA price is .
