Hey all, how you doing... I've got the opportunity to pick up a &d second hand, with Tokina 19-35mm, for $1500 Australian... Is this worth it?? Should I be trying to bargain the daeler down? If anyone has any comments regarding whether I should go the KM or hold out and spend more on a Canon, I'd love to hear them!! Thanks heaps, Alick.

ps $1500 Australian is $1120 US. Hmmm, can get one new from B&H for $779 with no lens, but Maybe a lens from them too.. Sipping to aus? I'll check that out too!!

That's too much, in my opinion. I paid $729 for a brand new body here in the US last week on Ebay. I could have gotten a lens with it for less than $850, but only needed the body. Not sure about Australia, but keep looking .. I think you can do better.

Hi,

1120US$ is far too much. Only acceptable with one of the good and more expensive Minolta/KM lenses.

Cheers,

I don't know what shipping will cost you but walmart.com has them for $699US with the 18-70. they also have another kit with a different lens for a little more.

Hope that helps.

I'm a full time freelance photographer and the 7D is my main camera. It is, in my humble opinion, a superb camera.

I've also used a borrowed D2X, which is also a superb piece of kit, but I wouldn't pay the extra money to change. The 7D more than meets my expectations.

Does wallmart ships to europe? If you say yes... :)
I wanted to check it out once but no answer.

Opinions and suggestions are always welcome.

 
cheapest is to get the adorama super deal
7D+28-75 2.8D for around 900USD
+ shipping, +gst

then if you want a budget wide, the tokina 19-35 is going for $99 AUD clearence @ teds IIRC

NOTE: purchasing from US does not provide Aus warranty IIRC

AS rocks!
lens reviews and more on dyxum.com!
 
That's what I want actually but I have to wait because of certain circumstances...

I paid $A1800 for the body about 2 years ago and got a $300 cash back. Lenses were extra. Sounds like you are getting an ok deal but I am not sure what prices have done in other places since I bought mine.

You can buy from BH (I have done this a lot and they are great) but you will get stung for about an additional 20% as it comes through customs for GST and "processing" if it us more than $A500 including postage. Sometimes it is still worth it though compared with what you would have to choose from here and pay here.

Good luck! It is an awesome camera.
