Kirislin Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I dont need another camera but the thought of getting a full frame is kinda tempting when it's so cheap. Oh oh oh what should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked this morning and it's back over $2 grand again. Probably best, I cant afford it and I dont have the talent to get the best out of it anyway. I need to stick with the 7D.

Bargain shopping! You got it at the right time, it's already back on the way up. You paid almost $300 less than I did early last year, and I thought I got it for a good price then. I think you will love it, especially for action. Edited October 14, 2011 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Gah - somehow my payment got stuffed up and so I'm trying to get hold of them. They're not answering the phone or replying to email. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I just spoke to them - apparently they need me to authorise the payment and give them a land line number for customs when it comes through. Nothing wrong with the payment itself Now I just need to wait for customs to call. I'm very excited to see how it performs as opposed to my 5D - can't wait for high speed continuous shooting!

Are they going to say to customs it cost less than $1000 otherwise you have to pay duty on it. What happened when you bought your 5D? Oh and high speed continous is pretty cool :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I bought the 5D from digital rev - i had to pay duty on it which i was expecting but apparently digital rev has been pulled up a few times for incorrectly marking their packages and trying to get them to slip through customs so they're pulling aside 50% of all the packages that come into the country from digital rev no matter what price it has recorded on the declaration. Not sure if it's the same as DWI but I'm expecting to pay the duty on it so I factored that into the cost. That being said, I also bought a battery grip, extra battery and 2 SD cards when i bought the 5D so it was a pretty big haul in the end! I'm just buying the 7D this time. I might look into a battery grip for it later for my all day video shoots (another plus of having a 7D - slow mo video - 50fps WHOOT!!) but I think i'm pretty much set Now I just need to save up for the couple of lenses I want Edited October 17, 2011 by ~*Shell*~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) How much duty do they charge? I'm watching our $ rise again, I suspect prices might have more to do with the Yen than the US $. What lenses are you thinking about. I've been dreaming of the 24-70 but I hear differing opinions on it matched with the 7D. I dont really want to buy the 17-55 cause it's an EFS.

~*Shell*~ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Depends on what it is - I think the maximum is 10% so I always factor that in. That being said, it wasn't 10% for the 5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 I take it from the gear list your 7D has arrived????? Charging up the battery now I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nope - hasn't arrived yet but it's on it's way. I just thought I'd update it in the meantime because I'm so excited :D Had to add my x2 extender onto the list too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 You've got similar lenses to me, but I dont have extenders or external flashes. Cant wait to see what you think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Yeah - for goal for the next year is for my kit to look like this: 5d mark II (+ battery grip) 7D (+ battery grip) 70-200mm 2.8L 50mm 1.4 100mm Macro 24-70mm 2.8L 580EX II speedlite x2 I just need to get the battery grip for the 7D, the 100mm macro, the 24-70 and the 2nd speedlite. I don't know what I would do without my speedlite anymore! I also want some new filters and some reflectors :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 I dont have battery grips but your lens collection will be very similar to mine. I have the old version 100mm macro, which right now with DWI is less than $500! and I want the 24-70. Also started daydreaming about a 5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I know! and the 5D was $1958 last time I looked. the little nifty fifty is only $80. I paid that much for it second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) It's crazy - they must have got a lot of people buying because they still haven't despatched mine despite repeatedly telling me they will "do it tonight" (3 days running!). It changed to "dispatched" for about an hour and then went back to "Dispatching Soon". It's really starting to annoy me. I just want my camera! It's now been a week since I ordered it.
