Thread: Which DSLR?

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.

sounds good, and yeah the 40D is superceded pretty much anywhere (it is here too).

please explain...

Well my run of good fortune had to end sooner or later.

My little order was tacked on the end of a MUCH larger consignment, and it seems the company involved were unable to deliver the bulk goods in the allocated time frame, so POOF, just like that the fun is over.

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.
