there are actually also 3 current canon lenses with the 28-105 zoom range, with the cheapest about A$250, the most expensive about A$1100, with the 24-105 another 25-30% more expensive...
regarding your friends ability to haggle, I'm thinking it might have fallen off the back of a truck at that price as it's way below distributor wholesale pricing.
anyway, I don't want to sound like a broken record, just don't want you to get something other than what you think is on the way...
so when are you expecting it to arrive ?
Mate I completely understand your scepticism. I am excactly the same. I have double checked with my source on accurate descriptions of the goods. Definately a 40D. They are listed as discontinued in HK as they have the 50D out already there.
Also told them to make sure the lense has the red ring around the end as well as double check the details. They are not just tourist shopping. We have a container sitting over the border in China to bring back.
If they bring it back themselves I will have it Saturday. If it goes in the container, it will be a few weeks.

the current Choice mag test of 83 digital cameras up to $2300 makes interesting reading...and I'm happy to have purchased a Pentax K200D which did surprisingly well and was even rated higher than the much more expensive K20D. Of course with DSLRs, lenses obviously make a difference to the result as well...
I would have said hilarious reading. Browsed through it the other day. Some things Choice really have difficulty reporting on.Quote:

Ah the joys of international business.
On the bright side, I now know excactly what I want to purchase and what is possible, so I will be working on that once I save me some money again, if these ruddy cars don't eat it all up first.
Thanks all for your input it has been very helpfull.
Was looking forward to taking some shots on the weekend, but oh well:(

Sorry to hear that.
I ordered a new body from a parallel importer on Sunday night. Arrived Tuesday. First shoot this Sunday.
:-)
I know I am a little late on this thread but go the Nikon D90 with the 18-200 lens. Awsome :eek:
I ordered mine last Friday and got it on Monday and have been having fun all week with it. Wow this new serries of DSLR's coming out have made a huge leap.
I have just gone from a none to shabby D70 with 18-70 lens to this new unit and the difference is staggering. I should have a few pics to post shortly.
Cheers,
