Best LiPO price

Chris Charlton said:

Hi Folks,
Not a new question I'm sure, but whats the best price for a LiPO
new at the moment and where is this?, I am interested in the basic
B30, I don't need the capacity (or expense) of the B32 kit. Am I
right in assuming I can put the larger capacity battery in the grip
at a later date if I wish?

Thanks

As far as I know, yes, you can put larger capacity battery in the
grip.

I tried Samy's about 2 hours ago and they said they were out of
stock, is Samys a single shop? Or are there different branches in
different states I could call up to see if I can find a B30 left?
Thanks

The store is in LA. I ordered one last week for $199.95. Today I
called to order another one and the price jumped to $229.95.
Inflation must have hit over the weekend. I also ordered TCON-SA2
($179.95). Get this extension arm if you plan on using your grip
with Tcon-300 lens.

Good luck and let me know your progress.

I ordered a B30 from Adorama, but I got an e-mail saying that the
"item is on back order and will ship within 14 days" I don't see
how it can be on back order, they don't make them any more. I
e-mailed this to them, but I think I will cancel my order, anyone
dealt with Adorama before? They sound shady to me.

The message you got is generic used by most companies. They all
say that when something is out of stock. It doesn't take 14 days
for them to restock the merchandise, but it will give them enough
time just in case. However, your item is no longer in production
and the auto-generated email response did not know that.

I would call and cancel the order and call around for the other
stores. Have you try Camera World of Oregon (cameraworld.com) and
Silvio's (silvios.com). I have ordered from these two stores as
well and had no problem. I would call instead of ordering online
since the item is hard to find now.

Good luck,
Joel.

Well Adorama confirmed that they could not get any more B30's so I
cancelled my order, I looked at the other places you suggested, but
they seem to be out too.
I was just wondering what the cheapest price for the B32 is? I have
look around and it seems to be $380, I don't really want to spend
that much, anywhere cheaper?

where are you? i just called a professional camera store in palo
alto, california, that i used to frequent. they have 3 lipo-b30
and 3 lipo-b40. they are NOT a mail order/internet store. the guy
that i talked to said the price was $449, but i think that was the
price for the b32.

you can call and check the price and see if they will ship it to
you. ask for someone from the digital department that way you
don't get a clueless one like i got. they have two buildings, one
is for consummer 35mm and one is for pros. the number below is for
the pros department/building and that is where they have all the
high end digital toys.

here is the number: 650.327.8511

I think I'll end up buying one of the aftermarket battery packs
that fits on a belt clip and plugs into the E10 via a lead, not as
good as a LIPO, but I think all the B30's are out of stock now, I
just wish Oly would drop the price on the B32!!

Hey Chris, just my take on the plug in batteries. I built 2 of
them. Both based on the 7.2v RC battery - one that plugged into the
DC IN and the other was wired through the the battery compartment.
I had periodic trouble with both, but when they worked, they worked
great. I abandoned them for AAs after 1-2 months and the AAs were
much easier to deal with - even carrying and charging 8 sets for
camera and FL-40.

I then got the B-30 and it is a dream. It might HURT, but if you
can, get the B-32. Between the incredible battery and the increased
handling of the E-xx the LiPo cant be beat.

My external battery setup has been collecting dust for over 4
months now.
(I got the LiPo a month or so ago.)

I hear you, but I can't justify spending $400 on basically a
battery, I think they have got a cheek asking $220 for the B12 on
its own, its daylight robbery. Also I am saving for a car; I don't
have one :O( so buying a B32 is out of the question really.....
