DEADMETAL · 14th May 2005

Anyone read about it? Free extend of 3 yrs warranty, free a 1 gb card, 1 bag and 1 tripod. Another free 1 gb card with wat purchase of batt grip thinggy from canon. The strange thing is I thought the free 1gb suppose to be from canon?

sstar · 14th May 2005

One Free ScanDisk CF card from Canon, another Kingston CF card from H.N

BTW, price of 350D Kit in HongKong and China has been dropped to S$14xx, before Nikon D50 launch.

spacebun · 15th May 2005

any idea what's the requirements for their interest free installment plans?

rinaldi86 · 15th May 2005

HK $14xx is inclusive of kit lens? Canon price or retailer give tat kind of price?

cause retailer might be grey set.. but if it's canon price.. then it's a damn low price.. sg still like $17xx

If you check the prices around some of the shops you'll realise that the 350D does cost around 17xx. The other so called freebies aren't really free except for the canon promo. If you just subtract the other "free" CF card and the rest, that's the same price you can get at some shops that don't come with the "freebies", except for the 3 year warranty, which is a nice deal.

DEADMETAL · 15th May 2005

I'm more interested in the extended warranty. I rather pay more coz I have bad experience with camera going down

. Anyway how much is a orginal batt for 350D?

NB-2LH $119 List Price

Alternatively, u can get from Eastgear for $29.95
www.eastgear.com.sg

3rd party batt, but works well

DEADMETAL · 15th May 2005

I try 3rd party batt before, it's totally unusable after 1/2 a yr. The OEM still works like new. So I dun wanna spend money on 3rd party.

n0d3 · 15th May 2005

The ones from Eastgear work well.

Price of 350D body only in US has dropped to about SGD$1450. Won't be long before they'll drop the price here. FOlks who wants to buy a 350D should just wait a little longer.

Put it this way, SGD $1760 gets you a D50 kit that comes with 18-55 DX and a 55-200 lens. Body + 18-55 is about $1450 only

DEADMETAL · 15th May 2005

350 body + kit dop to $14XX? Thats like so much difference.

rinaldi86 · 15th May 2005

yeah... is it they are having rebates or special offer that's y so low?? cause if that's the case then I think it's really a very worthy camera

Vulpix0r · 15th May 2005

Have prices in Singapore plummeted so low yet? I'm waiting for the prices to hover around 1.5k for a new set.

They will eventually.

Prices plummeted in places like US coz you can actually pre-order Nikon D50 now at $1400+, with kit lens.

At the same price as the 350D now, u get D50 + 18-55 + 55-200. Well, you can't pre-order anything in Singapore for now, nor overseas (No Int'l warranty for DSLRs).

Hopefully the prices go down by the next IT fair!

USM · 15th May 2005

The problem in Singapore is that Canon or Nikon controlled the prices despite their counterparts in US dropped their prices.

Just for info, brand new

1) 1D mk II is selling <S$5000 in US

2) D2H selling at around $3000 in US

But do we see such prices in Singapore?

Therefore, if you want good prices, you have to buy from US or other countries. Of course, warranty is an issue for camera bodies.

rinaldi86 · 15th May 2005

hey, USM, buy from other countries, when bring back SG, are we subjected to be taxed 5% GST for those goods?

Yes, anything above $400 will be subjected to 5% GST. Are you bringing in yourself or via courier?

Having said that, checked with those guys who bought from US whether they have paid such amount.

plinius · 16th May 2005

GST is only applicable for brand new stuff rite? Say we take it out of the box and use it, do we still need to pay the GST?

I think SG custom will check only those who look really suspicious and looking nervous..

You go to the lane where you Have Things to Declare...
