Greg, ebuyer have the EOS300D kit in for £616 inc vat.

Oh dear, with comments like that I should be trolling the for-sale forums

gregh

...which is more expensive than this place is doing it????? onder2: onder2:

Hanslow

Just pointing out that it undercuts the lowest quoted UK price you mentioned. Served no real purpose, but brings the saving closer to 40 quid rather than 70 quid.

Personally I'd be happier buying from a UK supplier (but that's me).

That's why I included the trolling comment as it served no real purpose because the overseas price is still cheaper and I was pointlessly correcting you on a comparison price

warehouseexpress are also very good on prices.

I'd be a bit conserned with buying equipment from Hong Kong. Canon are currently not alowing international warranty claims on DSLR's. Only SLR's and P&S cameras: rolleyes:

Crazy yes, but your International warranty is in fact not international at all.

I'm just trying to track down the numerous un successful warranty claims at the moment

Geezer

and don't forget the very real possibility that HM Customs & Excise will get you! Wouldn't be cheap at all then.

ok passing on info from DVDforums, suggest people look there if they are interested.

They have taken that into account - the 300D is £505 plus an estimated VAT/Customs charge gives the prices quoted above.

Your FAQ

"What should I do if I need to get my camera/camcorder repaired?
Simply email our technical support team, and they will be happy to assist you. A simple instruction will be given to guide you through the process. "

is not very helpful for someone looking at evaluating a buying decision.



Sorry, we will make it clearer on the FAQ.

Yes, you do need to send the cameras back to us in Hong Kong during the warranty period. Postage to Hong Kong is not that expensive nowadays.

Hmm, maybe postage to Hong Kong isn't that expensive, but how long's it gonna take.

The majority of the 300D's on eBay are all grey imports, either from the US or Asia. Buying off an Internet retailer here in the UK isn't that more expensive.
