They are the dealer at this comex, thats why I mentioned AP-S and AP-FI see, heard their shop is quite reputable.
I just called MS color, 450D kit is $1150 incl gst (cash only) free 1x 4Gb sd & lens book
So now the thing is, is the extra 4Gb sd, tripod, eos bag & 160Gb hdd worth the extra $149?
Me too cant decide whether to get from MS or in comex. S$150.00 diff but get more stuff . What intesert me most is the 160gb hdd.
U think is a must to get the extented warrenty?
The 160Gb hdd is the 2.5" portable type.. worth approx $80-90 la..
4Gb is worth abt $30-40.. tripod/eos bag dunno the brand/price/etc..
But the thing worth noting is that you can purchase extended warranty for $150 and get "free" 50mm F1.8 worth abt $100..
So if compared to MS color, inclusive of buying 50mm, you are paying abt $50 + approx $30 = $80total for extended warranty..
Worth it or not? I guess depends if you really want/need the extra 4gb mem card, 160Gb ext hdd and the tripod la..
I'm on the way there now actually, anyone going as well? gimme ur contact via PM? maybe buy together for more freebies.. aha..
Personally I want the extra 4gb mem card as this will be my 1st SLR, but the 160Gb hdd maybe I wanna sell off lor..

how does retail shop extended warranty works? any problem has to goes back to shop or can visit canon service centre.
4Gb sd, tripod, eos bag & 160Gb hdd worth the extra $149?
I seriously doubt so, even a 500GB HDD is now $99. Might as well get from MS.
i find the comex deal is quite good ... it give free 2x4GB and 160GB external hdd !!!
should have waited 2 weeks before i buy mine ;/
as for the extended waranty, i find its ok.
u can treat it as $50 for the extended warranty, and $100 for the lens.

Hmmm the RSP of $1299 incl installment payment. $1150 + 3.5% = $1190. So the difference may be only approx. $100. Did anyone go down and ask whether they can pay by cash? This time around the dealer is Alan Photo so I do believe they are quite flexible. I ever did got a cash quote for my Ixus camera in Comex 2005 shows ago and the dealer was Alan Photo. I still have the receipt in box ;p
Maybe to help clarify some issue posted, the price of warranty taken from Canon Website are as follows:
EOS 1000D / 450D
A (Within 14 days from date of purchase) $150
B (More than 1 month before warranty expires) $180
EOS 40D
A (Within 14 days from date of purchase) $250
B (More than 1 month before warranty expires) $280
The extended warranty is for another two years. Therefore the total warranty for the camera will be: 1 yr + 3 mth (register online) + 3 mth (buy warranty at comex) + 2yr (extended warranty) =
3 yr and 6 mth of warranty + a free EF 50mm F1.8
And according to some post here, the free lens promotion when purchase with extended warranty is only valid for DSLR purchase at Comex 08. Anyone can confirm this?
I hope this post do help anyone still lost.![]()
