Canon EOS 10D price difference
Lei Lui asks:
he trustworthy B&H and Adorama in New York City have been holding the same price ($1499) since the 10D first hit the market. Dell.com and Circuit city also have this price. There was one occasion Circuit city offered a 10% coupon for the 10D, but it was just enough to offset the sale tax. On the other hand, some online stores, such as BuyDig.com and ElectricSam have 10D for around $1150, brand new, US warranty and such. These stores seem to be quite credeble. I saw them in the PhotoExpo in NYC and they seem to have very high customer satisfaction ratings. Since these stores may not charge sale tax, depending on where the camera is shipped, and they only charge a small shipping fee ($12), the final out-of-pocket cost can be $500 lower than buying from stores like B&H or Circuit City. Is this just because the online stores have a very low overhead, or because they ship different things? I remember a while ago there were two versions of EOS Elan 2E, one was made in Japan and the other was made in Malaysia or somewhere about. The price difference was $70-$90 for the $200-$300 body. Will someone enlighten me on this issue? I am perfectly comfortable making purchase online, but I want to make sure that I receive the real thing, and with all the goodies in the retail box. I bought my Minolta 7i from BuyDig about 2 years ago. Perfectly satisfactory transaction at about $90 less than I could have gotten it elsewhere. I just bought a Pentax *ist (hate that name) from Dell. Excellent transaction, but a sale and rebate put their price down near that of the cheaper stores (cheaper reliable stores, that is). Simplest thing: make sure that you're not getting gray market goods without a U.S. warranty (B&H sells gray market, but is established enough to offer its own warranty, so that's a point to check--I don't think [though I'm not sure] that the 10d is in great enough supply even now to be heavily gray marketed).

There are a lot of phony dealers out there. Find out where these places are
located - if they are in Brooklyn NY or anywhere in NJ I would suggest forgetting them immediately. For any other location look for recommendations from real people - those store rating websites tend to get clogged up with employees of the crooked stores giving high marks to their unsavory operations. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Lei Liu" wrote in message om...

Many thanks! Lei There's a sucker born every minute. 2/3 of them end up as photographers. You don't find bargains at B&H. But if you're looking at items that are very professional, just about everything except digital cameras, printers, etc.that few places carry, it's the place to go. Otherwise, BuyDig and many others are reliable e-tailers for deeper discounts on cameras etc. |
