I wonder wat the pricing is in Hong Kong :think:

hate to say this but: i told u so. i had tried to tell everyone that the price here is too high, but in the end, branded as some trouble maker. sigh... well, as long as u r happy about your purchase, who m i to say its too ex, right?

the 2 sets i posted earlier is from HK
its already in the streets selling at around $2800 (kit) $2650 (body only)
the 17-85 IS is also out pricing at around $1100
hmm... maybe it's a good idea to just fly over to HK to grab a few for sale here ;p something to consider.....
HK stock is depleting very fast...mpenza said:
from the look at the forums... people are already posting shots taken by 20D...
and most shops only left a few sets...
guess the price might juz go up when 2nd batch comes in at end of Oct
;p likely to still get the camera here as the warranty is local. however for lenses, HK might be a good place if they're cheaper.

As consumers, if we behave like suckers, we are indirectly asking for such treatments from the retailers/distributors. Sometimes I feel the general population in Singapore lack "consumer resistance".
And the "Buy Buy Buy" calls in the forums don't help either...

It goes the same for volume control also...
Just don't know how to "speak up"; either that we're muted with a remote control.
It's known as 'consumer price fleecing'......happens to new cameras, CF cards, Yonex rackets, Treks and Cannondales, Ducatis, etc, etc........
This is where our street prices can be higher than US street prices by significant margins. Most manufacturers peg their highest prices or margins in USA, Japan, and Europe - with UK as the highest priced to the consumer - but Singapore is slowly catching up to the UK.

Hey they run a business, they have every right to price their goods any way they want. Its not like a digicam is an essential commodity, if you don't like the price, don't buy it!
Anyway, don't you see that Canon actually facilitates this type of market fragmentation, by only giving out local instead of international warranties. If Canon can make more from UK and EU markets, why won't they?
It's not like you don't have alternatives. In this day and age, easy for consumers like us to organise ourselves and do some parallel importation, and if the price get too high here, that's exactly what would happen.
Picked up body only at Cathay about 6pm today. S$2,850 includes GST. Credit card OK. First they said all were spoken for...then said they OK and sold it to me. Alan Photo got shipment about 7pm.
Smaller than 10D...will take a while to get used to it. Space between grip and lens a bit tight. Very fast successive photos..wow, amazing. Loud shutter...not so discreet lah. Many small improvements. Evolution not revolution.
