The $1320 @ MSC is before GST. May not include the 40D guide book as mentioned on Canon Singapore.
Cathay quoted you the old price cos they still have the Philips digital photoframe bundle. Its still a super deal, you get the photoframe for $150. Some shops may have collected the gift in advance, so they give you on the spot. Most likely this is left over stock.

where is the cheaper old price of $1320 without GST?

with GST it will only be $1412. It seems more expensive..

unless we are talking about the bundle with 17-40L

 

[Junye]

it will probably stay at 1.4k for a while i believe.

Hey isaiah... Dun get your hopes too high no such bundle.... 17-40...... Can buy separate 2440.... Kit one is 1590 at ms. 2gb + i think ef book... Dun remember the rest...

 

[Isaiahfortythirtyone]

cheyy dunno what simi bundle. :bsmilie:

then i prob will just get the body alone.

how come MS quote so many diff prices?

 

[zzyzx]

ask you all huh.. when you guys go collect your free 2gb cf card, do you have to show your receipt? or just show the warranty card will do?

 

[JusMe]

ahh, so confusing! So many versions. I suppose the retailers are just sick of all the tel enquiries they are getting these few days. So they just give strange prices that Yo yo.
Even the blood pressure yo yos!

MSC $1320 before GST. Dead on accurate.
Note that this base price is actually lower than in USA, and we have freebies.

Yeah.. this one is defintely wrong. The quote I got from MS for Kit1 is lower than $1500 before GST. :dunno:

>> Model: EOS 40D Kit 1 (18-55IS)--free 2g Cf card high speed, Ef len book, 40d user guide book

What a mess.. I guess.. the best way is to wait till the dusts settles.

I just got my 40D body in Best Denki, got it at $1599, down from $1799. Got 2GB CF, Canon bag, tripod, cleaning kit, Screen protector and the 2 books..
Heard from the promoters there, the offer will end ard end mth.
So.. I dunno if its for permanent price reduction.

aiyoh. why u buy from Best Denki when the price is about $1410 elsewhere? :dunno:

yes the promo ends on 24 august. but the prices are here to stay. they are unlikely to icnrease again. it ends on 24 aug prob because there will be a different offer for Comex that begins on 28 aug

 

[Outlook]

Will buy during Comex time have a better deal ? Do not know buy now or wait for the Comex ....
