I will call again tomorrow is too late to call now and see what i am told. No one call till i post and we will see . I never intended to have this happen.I just tried to Order the Dimage 7 from Sunshine and the camera is
$749.95 plus $27.80 shipping + $30 shipping or a total of $807.75.
Their web site is now even higher. I guess if you don't have them
you can price them at anything to get people to call- oldest trick
in the book. This is for a new D7 with Minolta USA warranty and all
the accessories including NiMH + charger.
Not even the deal you thought you got!!! Lay down with dogs you get
fleas or feeced as the case may be. Don't start dialing these guys
go with a reputable dealer!!!!
I just called at 1pm and that was the price . did anyone else call let me know.Ok here is price 698.97 for dimage 7 shipping is 27.80 andYes I'd like the info on the DImage 5.Good news i found someone with a shipment coming in on wednesday.
I will post tomorrow with details and total price and it is less
than 700.00 for sure hopefully more. Not a nyc vendor Does anyone
want a price on a dimage 5 while i am at it. let me know. I will
probably post both anyway
BTW who is the vendor? (although I Prefer nyc one)

there is 30 insurance fee. I questioned insurance fee and they
say they do not use ups for insurance since it takes almost 6
months to get your money back. Could be true. If you get a
defective camera which could happen you just send it back to them
and get a new one. SO that is good. they have them coming in on
wed so you will get them in a week probably at most. THe dimage 5
is more money than the dimage 7 so i am not posting it here. They
claim they are too hard to get so the price is high. They have
none of them now. I have seen them on net for like 469.00 though.
THe place is in SC so no sales tax if you live anywhere else than
SC. If you call ask for moe number is 1-800-845-0693 they answer
right away and speak english, hehehe. name is sunshine digital.
I did not ask for warantees but remember you can get them for as
low as 59.00 for 5 yrs and as high as 249.00 for the same mack
warantee so judge yourself accordingly. They are nice to talk to
and do not put you on hold for hours . Now it is up to you to go
with it or go somewhere else. It is usa version too i almost
forgot is new not refurbished. Use blue card to keep price check
available or use first usa visa for 0% interest for 6 months. You
can apply on line for firstusa card http://www.firstusa.com
Time to start dialing.

I checked Sunshine by searching the Web for "sunshine digital". No
hits. I then searched on the 800 number and got Web site hits with
that number and similar name
( http://shop.store.yahoo.com/sunshinedigitaldeals/digital-cameras-minolta.html ). The store is in Myrtle Beach, Florida. It is a Web site I visited a few years ago, and has not changed greatly, so I know (1) they exist in business, (2) they've been in business awhile, (3) they provide lab services, so they're a typical cut-rate camera dealer. I called and all of their lines were busy, so I placed an order on the Web (I want 1 of the 30 cameras).
I just called again and spoke with Moe. He says the new shipment
has a rechargeable battery, firmware upgrade and the higher price
now shown on the Web. I asked if he meant a special manufacturer's
battery and he said "yes." (We on the forum know more about this
camera than most sales people. He may not know what he's saying.)
The $698 is for the older USA camera, AAs, old firmware. He said
the older camera is in stock at their retail store. I went ahead
with the purchase. (I don't want a proprietary battery ala Sony. I
want a better charger than comes with the camera, and I'm confident
about uploading the new firmware). Moe said the camera will ship
next week, he will e-mail me with a tracking number when it does,
shipping is by FedEx ground only. I received such a package from
Tennessee last week in 24 hrs. I'll see how it goes.
If the deal falls through, I'll order from B&H or Adorama next week.
Yes, it's scary dealing with folks you don't know, but I've bought
at cur-rate camera shops in person and that's often equally scary.
(My daughter and I bought a Canon in NYC a few years ago, asked
about warrantee, yet when we opened the box outside, there was none
in the box--took it back and bought elsewhere.)
Life is short--pray hard.
Ok let us know how you fared out.

am told. No one call till i post and we will see . I never
intended to have this happen.
Has anyone tried - Abies of Maine ? This is where I purchased my D7 from.
Actually, I purchased the D5 first, but had an itermitant problem with the EVF. When I called about returning it, it was not a problem, I opted to "upgrade to the D7 at the same time and pay the differnce. They told me it was not a problem, I could exchange it for another model, get a refund, what ever I needed. So, a week later I had my new D7.
They were very easy to deal with. The original sales guy did try to sell me accessories, but I informed him I already had the accessories I needed. I orginally paid $744 for the D7 in November. It is a least one dealer that lives up to it's return policy. Might give them a try?
Hope this helps,
Knight

this whole business about the "new" shippment having the rechargable batteries and the "old stock" not having the batteries included is a whole lot of BS!!. Minolta started shipping the D7 and D5 cameras with the rechargable batteries and charger on Oct.1st. They also had their dealers do an inventory of cameras they had in stock at that time and sent out the rechargable batteries and charger to all the dealers on a one-for-one basis for the cameras the dealers had in stock to include them in with the cameras. what this means is that since Oct.1st if any dealer is selling a D7 or D5 without the rechargable batteries they are keeping them to sell for extra profit - it has nothing to do at all with which shippment the cameras came in!

You are right I know people that got there camera a while back and yes they came with batteries and charger the firmware maybe a different story.--Steventhis whole business about the "new" shippment having the

rikster,
I know you never intended this to happen and my frustration is not with you or your efforts but with the Tricksters in this and other consumer electronics markets that employ these tactics and fleece unwary people. Fortunately we have this forum to help us collectively understand what is going on by pooling our experiences. Thanks for your efforts on everyone's behalf. I felt in the beginning and now feel very stongly that we should stick to only reputable suppliers that existing Minolta owners will vouch for. We might even devolope some purchasing clout over time if we use our collective knowledge, experience, efforts and voice to let everyone know who the good guys and bad ones are. Thanks to you and everyone who is participating in this effort. I think it is worthwhile even if we find out that there is no great deal to be had but do find a great supplier to deal with!

I just spoke to Sunshine Camera to inquire about the status of my order. This time I spoke with an older fellow named Sol. He told me there are no D7s available. The shipment they told us was due last week never came in. Sol says even Minolta does not have the cameras. I cancelled the order.
Sol's responses were so quick I doubt he knows anything about the market at large.
I'll keep looking.

I think Sunshine told you, like they told me, that you could have the old version camera that they had in the retail store and as i recall you were fine with that. But now you like me got nothing but double talk for your efforts. I had ordered from them as well but cancelled my order too. I am probably going to buy from B&H when they get the D7's in stock mainly because their price is fair $799.95 and all of their accessories except for CF cards and microdrives (which I have already bought from Aaxes and Googlegear respectively) are also priced reasonably and I can save on shipping if I order the camera and accessories at the same time. I talked to them this morning and they did not know when they would arrive but said they had about 40 on order for immediate delivery.
If anyone else runs across a good deal that is current from a reliable dealer with current version USA D7's in stock I hope they let us all know.
