went to funan to look at eos 20d body only, asked around, allan photo = $2600 b4 gst, cathay photo $2850/$2800 (different people) , john 3:16 $2900 (crazy), song brothers $2750 after gst, I told song can cheaper, he says what price you want, then I say $2550 b4 gst, he say crazy rudely so I ignored him and went back to allan photo and ask for $2700 after gst, he say below cost, ask his supervisor, supervisor say $2750 after gst (HUH, $2600 x 1.05 = 2730)... so I left also.

Hi there, not sure how long ago was the qoute you got, but just accompanied one of my friends to shop around, some of the prices might have changed slightly over the holiday seasons. I'm quite sure $2900 at 3:16 is for the kit, the quote we got for the body alone was around $2780. Got varying prices at Cathay and avoided song brothers.

I specifically asked body only, so maybe they blur/busy, but 2780 also not a good price

i popped in yesterday to AP, i was quoted 31xx for the 20d plus grip after gst.

Yeah, crazy... after holidays still so expensive. They go buy themselves!

Is it available at all stores or only limited outlets
1GB = around $100+ :think:

according to www.bargaincity.com the card is redeemed from canon singapore. so i believe as long as you got the warranty card with receipt you can claim the card liao

 

[loupgarou]

hmm:

ok: the 20D promo is from 1st Jan - 28 Feb, last date of collection = 7 March

you get a 1 GB CF card and a photographer's vest.

Just passed by camera workshop opposite the penisular...saw there they are selling new set for 2580 for body. Not sure whether include GST or not. I think probably no. Any other shop offer lower price?

 

[Kenji]

Btw, is the lexar CF card good? Because now Canon is promotion this lexar CF Card and Vest.

 

[Caras]

I heard 20D have a VERY very loud shutter?

Yes, it's noticeably louder than the 300D.

You can get MP3 samples of 20D, D70, & 10D from dpreview: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos20d/page6.asp
(don't depend on the graphical representation on the site, download the MP3s and have a listen to all three)

... I wonder why Canon didn't address this better...

this does not come with Canon warranty though if I'm not wrong, so you're not entitled to the Lexar 1GB and vest.

It's fast and good!!! The Lexar card is 80x second edition. One of the fastest cards out there right now and a good match for the 20D.
