EOS 500D released in SGP

[bluecube]

hi otarr,

can i know where you got your 500D body only and at what price?

 

[Kit]

For shops that allow you to remove the kit lens from the package, the prices is around $1180to $1200 for the body alone.

 

[xbeano]

was told not to claim for the goodies first (for the standard canon package currently only mem. card and bag) and instead, to wait for the show in june as more likely to get additional goodies.

Hi! Do you mean that you can claim the goodies sometime in June instead of collecting now?

Does the 500D use the same grip as 450D?

 

[ggodetucsamoht]

Does the 500D use the same grip as 450D?

yes, same grip. BG-E5

 

[weevil84]

Man... seems like a damn great backup cam to have... LoL... time to say bye bye to my trusty old 10D.

Do u have one to sell? LOL.

 

[otarr]

apparently, that was wat i was told. i left mine with the shop so they can do it for me. in the mean time, they gave me a mem card and a bag to use.

Hello, You mean you bought the camera now without any free gifts except the memory card and bag.
And then you wait until June and the shop will match any free gifts given at the coming June IT show is it.

That is pretty cool man.

I hope that is really true.

 

[otarr]

that's right sir. june is not too far away so i don't mind waiting. in any case, the shop gave me a mem card and a bag to use so i can still play around with the new cam.

two days ago i went back to the show to ask for a blower and they gave me a set of cleaning kit. that's good service to me. LOL.

wow..time for me to ditch my Fuji S7000...been with me for more than 5 years..and it actually cost more than the 500D when I bought it then..haha..


anyone know the model name in Japan? is it Kiss X3?
any international warranty for Canon camera? will be in japan in a few weeks...should I get the camera now or get it in Japan??

 

[mynameisgreg]

hmm just wondering, i don't think i have the free gifts that canon gives, cuz on my warranty card it said redeemed. samuel gave me 2 4gb cards thats all heh... are those the free gifts? arghhh... i think he forgot to pack the battery cover as well.

 

[otarr]

yes, it is called kiss x3. was in tokyo early april but it was not launched yet. i believe they have it now. not sure of the warranty issue though.
