EOS Bodies / Re: DigitaRev Canon 5D MKIII vs. Nikon 800

I must agree with Kai, 5D3 design is more confortable to use.

But D800 takes really nice sharp pic. the comparision's shown every photo they slideshow on the screen make alot of differences and choices for buyers.

Whichever you buy, at the end of the day it makes you smile (*grin*)

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Received used (!?) 5D III from Crutchfield

Aww sorry forgetton to think, maybe there is not driver for mk3 just as yet.

But 0069 <= if it actual shutter counts isnt bad. Assuming they testing 69 shots before shipping out.

Else you can try eosinfo program, still not sure if it need driver for it.

Again if your gut feeling make u think it has been open/used return it for a replacement.

I know how it feels, If i feel something isnt right, doesnt matter what it is, It will keeps anoying me everytime i look at it. hehe

I remember reading somewhere on this forum/ others forum. That file name written on the card isnt actual shuttion actuation counts. I remember someone got his brand spanking new Mk2 and his first few photo has 5xxx something on it.

WHy dont you connect ur camera to pc and go to eoscount.com and u will see ur actual shutter count.

EOS Bodies / Re: Need help to choose! mark 2 or mark 3?

« on: March 21, 2012, 11:50:21 PM »

Another thing you should taken into consideration.

5D Mark II you can just walkin a shop and buy one...

5D Mark III is still on pre-order... and not sure which country or state ur from?

But in Australia i have call pretty much every stores in my state, no stock at all (pre-order will take 3 weeks to 6 weeks). And people willing to pay as much as 3899to 4299 (where i pre-order mine at 3599 but not sure how many ppl infront of me)

Cheers

17 coming in this month, this will clear most backorders, remaining stock will come Mid April, maybe earlier, we are taking orders again at $3599 with $500 deposits.

wondering if you could clarify if just the initial lot that will be 3599 (due to error) or if that is going to be an ongoing price? - am interested in mid april-ish (can't do earlier b/c of TRS)

The same here, I am very interested by sometime end of march / early april.  I lost my creditcard yesterday, i report it as lost, they going to send me new one by end of next week.

Hopefully leederville will keep their price as is for awhile.

Cheers

Leederville good moves... that really nice to see that price again.

Do you guys think price might jack up again (let say afew mths later)?  I am intended to get one soon but with kit len 24-105 and it still 4899. Not fair!!

This is the best price i have seen so far... My local teds, which i buy most of my DSLR gears from, i get pretty good price from them. Couldnt even give any good price yet. because they dont have the stock to priced.

I will keep this watch, i am interested in buying local (warranty and no funny business)

I will watch this leedervillecamers.com.au closely.

April do you remember the guy name the one on the phone? Just a quote might be helpful if we know his name.,

Cheers

I agree.  In fact I just placed my order with http://www.leedervillecameras.com.au/ (which was recommended by simonxu11 - thanks) for the 5DIII at $AU3599 (inc GST) which I think is reasonable compared to RRP's we're seeing.  I ordered via telephone, spoke to a friendly staff member and left a $400 deposit.  They expect to have stock by the end of the month.  They also offer the 24-70II kit for an extra $2200 (if I remember correctly) and I was very tempted but I think I'll wait.  They also offered an extended Canon warranty (extra 2 years) for $199. 

Edit: I've bought grey before but if I can help it I'd rather buy local.  It's no good for anyone for local businesses to go down.

Canon warranty? is it canon australia? My problem is I am buying a 5DIII which is just new and have never been used by anyone among us on a daily basis so I need to be sure where to buy it from due to warranty issue furthermore, once I get my new 5dIII, I may need to send my other camera and my lenses to the service center for a bit of cleaning and calibration
