5D III street price for body or kit set


Cathay Photo says they have kit sets.
 

Was at CP marina just now to actually ask for help on my tripod head.
Then just casually asked for the price.
Was quoted $4450 for body and only left with 1 set.

$4450 is credit card price. if you pay cash, can haggle a little.

4450 (cc, gst inclusive) is still expensive. i believe cp @ peninsular is cheaper (gst+cc inclusive).
 

From the looks of things, it seems like Canon have replenished the stocks very fast. Very soon, the price will stablise and we will have ready stocks any time. :thumbsup:
 

Went to Funan today, and saw a long Q to the car park while waiting for the traffic light.....

Seems like a lot of Bro rushing to grab their 5D3..... lol....

I was there to pick up some batteries holders....
 

probably he knows iam just asking only.
if i were to buy,i will surely negotiate the price.
anyway,i asked the sales person between the focusing system compare to 1D4,he is not sure.
then i ask him if i can try out his 5D3 he said cannot.
if the 5D3 focusing system is as fast as the 1D4,i will seriously consider changing.
any kind soul volunteer to do a comparison?lol

yes.. even CP @ Peninsular isn't "cheap" either, CP is not known to give the best price :p

I doubt 5D3 can be on par with 1D4, cos 1D4 has a dedicated digic 4 processor just for AF.
 

couple of bodies still available at MS blk 711
 

Called MS Color blk 711 n was told all sold out. Harvey Norman novena sq got one kit set as at 3.30pm Sat 31mar. Cathay pricing of $4450 is probably credit card possible with instalment scheme. Last week pricing was $4300 by credit card. In any case, the first batch recommended retail price was $4599 and 2nd batch now is $4699.

After this reply, it will be "Gone in 30 seconds" when MS opened tomorrow... lol... :bsmilie:

Nicolas Cage will not be happy, cos he done it in 60s only...

good price for CC, considering the LP-E6 already cost about $100.

2x original batt include the one in set or exclude?
It makes hell lots of difference.
