I just got my camera at MS Color yesterday. $690 if you pay by cash, with extra batt, 8GB card, screen protector and case.

The original leather casing will arrive in April. It's $149 I think. If I recall correctly someone bought it at Best Denki Vivo for $99?

how much extra do they charge if you buy it on credit card?

2% more.

 

[prolensdreamer]

2% more.

That's prettty resonable as most of the shops will ask for 5%.

I walked in on Sat, bought from a chap called Kenny who gave reasonable service. Paid $679 for LX3, 8GB, screen protector (he did the sticking), mini Nikon branded tripod, spare 3rd party battery, ugly Panasonic Lumix branded case, SD/SDHC card reader. Cash.

The battery is more worth it as it would cost about S$20/- a SDHC card reader cost at most a little more than S$10/-....

New stocks arrived today at AP in the afternoon, stacked up high on the counter top.
Many of them are reserved for those who ordered earlier, but there are some available for sale. I walked in and picked one up without prior reservation. Damn thing is flying off like hot cakes.

I decided t get the LX3 (after giving my F100fd to my father) but could not find it in stock from major online retailers in US. Finally came across a guy selling his on craigslist and I will be viwing the camera tomorrow.

For US$500, I will get the camera, which is black and bought in Oct last year, plus a Gorilla Pod (SLR), Ricoh LC-1 (un-modded yet), 8 GB class 6 SD card, and an extra battery (original Panasonic).

Am I getting ripped off?:sweat:

Think the original battery and Gorilla Pod will cost more than the third party battery, case, mini tripod etc. More or less in par althought it is second hand.
