Canon Vixia Hf-10

dragius · 23rd June 2008

Hmm not sure why the last thread in regards to buying video can was locked.

Anyway just an update i bought my Canon HF-10 from Amazon, which comes with their own warranty.

Paid US$819.88 = S$1,147.83

Got the item sent to Vpost USA for free. It has finally arrived and i have paid the delivery Plus insurance and GST to Singapore.

So in total all in SGD$

HF10 (1,147.83) + GST/Delivery/Insurance(148.72)

Grand Total S$1,296.55

C0mpare to official retail price saving of $903.50
Compare to best price i have found in SGP so far saving of S$703.45

BUT of course there is no local warranty and item is in NTSC rather than the usual PAL.

Good for you. How long did Vpost take BTW? I'm thinking of ordering the Sony TG1E HD Handycam

Actually i am still waiting, the local free ground mail in the US takes 7 days to reach Vpost USA. I just paid all the costing for Vpost yesterday, so hopefully by thi weekend saturday?

in total normal delivey would be 7 + 7 = 14 days?

Just a form of closure finally receive my Video cam today, so far so good, with good packaging and insurance every went smoothly.

So once again a grand total of S$1,296.55 Nett to get the camera into SIngapore, so at the end of the day it really depends on you whether Warranty and NTSC is a problem.

Cheers!
