wow so the best price in Singapore now is $4200 at song bro?

Harvey norman at north point is offering that price too!

 

[Wai]

How about with the lens? What is the best price now?

 

[Golfie]

Hi friends, do you think the price wil be better or will there be special promotion during the PC show or the Great Sing sale?

The price will NOT be better during PC shows. They sell at RRP n give you 'freebies' to give you the impression you got a good deal.

As for GSS, if your credit card has good promo, then it might make sense to pay 2% extra using credit card vs cash price at the retail shops like TK or SLRR etc.

Good day,
Just got my new batch 5d3, was going thorough the manual and I find just the AF potion will take weeks for me to master them.
It's HDR is very interesting too. Hope can spare more time getting used to it. Haha

Try Parisilk holland village. Bought mine at $4200 cash last Friday. New batch

 

[pachero]

Now when I go jalan jalan in our friendly neighbourhood stores, it seems like almost all of them got stock liao....guess the buying frenzy is over liao..

 

[benjamingan]

Are the stock for new batch?
How to check shutter counts for mark 3?

 

[Kenneth83]

still waiting for the BG-E11

 

[Lionheart86]

Will get one soon. Yes, people get ur ass crackin and go shoot and show us some pics!!! DR this, ISO that.. sheez

Oh no, here we go again... So u feel cheated by canon or u did not do yr homework on the 5d3? In any case, canon not gonna recall all the 5d3 and install a new sensor anyway. Well, it's not too late to sell yr 5d3. The 60d is still usable at the moment.

I think for those who hated the 5d3 could jump ship to Nikon or downgrade to the 5d2 or upgrade to the 1dx. Instead of criticizing the camera, I would like to see more real world pics from the 5d3 owners. =]

It's time to leave the tests and results and watever behind. Get out and shoot!

5d3 noob here. does the "new batch" mean xxxxx3xxxxx onwards? only batch 1 and 2 are affected by the light leak right?

Yes and yes.

 

[hammie]

I wonder has anyone send their body in yet? for light leak patch

 

[dodgethis]

I would be surprised if anyone did because Canon has not said anything about sending them in yet.

 

[G-man]

Not me with a 1 series serial body because it doesn't bother me.

They announce after 17 May can send it le but no official broadcast from them

 

[alux0417]

Yes and yes.

Cool, thanks. I bought mine without checking the serial. It's batch 3 it appears
