SD10 on its way to me! Can't wait!

Rick Ashford said:

I have been intrigued by the SD10, and have been reading this forum
for some time now. At first I was put off by the dust on the
sensor thing -- this is a nonexistent issue for those of us who
have never played with dSLRs before. But I was much reassured
after reading other forums, where I learned that dust on the sensor
is common throughout the dSLR community, regardless of camera make.
And it is easy to fix. Whew!

Anyway.... I ordered my SD10 yesterday from fotoconnection.com,
which I found with a "Sigma SD10" search using nextag.com.
Fotoconnection.com gets relatively high marks -- a composite of 4
out of 5 based on over 150 customer reviews. Their price was too
good to ignore, so I went ahead and took a chance on them. I
ordered the SD10, along with both of the new DC lenses (18-50mm and
55-200mm). The price, including lenses, was $1,349. Shipping was
another $20. If my research is correct, this is the best price out
there for the whole kit. (These low-ball "Broadway" outfits are
notorious for not including a warranty with their goods, but the
online ad states there is a 1-year limited warranty, and I made
sure to confirm that a standard manufacturer's warranty accompanies
the camera.)

They called me yesterday, to confirm my order and to try and sell
me on a bunch of other "good deals." But I stood firm and held out
for just the camera kit. There have been no further hassles, and
today I received an email with UPS tracking number -- it has
shipped and is on its way to me now!

As far as I can tell, this is far and away the best deal out there
for an SD10 -- $1,349 for camera body, and both DC lenses. I am
very pleased!

I'd have to agree! I also have to admit I was skeptical. I was
expecting you to update us by saying you had been shipped an SD9
with the two lenses instead of an SD10. Here's my take on it. On
their site when you look up Sigma digital cameras it lists the SD9
body alone for $869, and the SD10 KIT for $1349....with no listing
for just the body alone. I'm thinking someone screwed up big time
by listing the KIT where the body alone should be...and for the
price of the body alone! I'm sure the salespeople simply look up
on their computer whatever it is someone is ordering and give them
the price that comes up on the screen. It'll be interesting to see
how long it takes someone to figure out the mistake (assuming I'm
correct in my assessment).

Enjoy the camera!

You haver more money than I do, the price of my kit was $US1299.95,
but I did not get the three day shipping. UPS tracking says it is
in Jax now and will be delivered in Tallahassee tomorrow. I will
update you when it arrives.

They probably are sheisters, but that does not mean you wont get a
good deal from them. I spent 10 min on the phone explaining I have
a card reader, CF cards, UV filters, and did not need an extended
warranty. The trick I use is to say I have 55mm and 58mm UV
filters before the salesman asks if I want one.

The invoice they sent me was for the kit, not just the body so I
think this may be a real good deal.
