I can personally vouch that this camera is phenomenal.
Has an inbuilt wifi, making it easy to use your mobile as a remote.
The likely upgrade to this is going to be 2020 and beyond (would also be quite expensive). Given Canon's upgrade cycle.

  This is a grey import unit and as such price is not comparable to Teds, CameraPro etc. Usual grey importers have this at a similar price if you really feel like gambling $3.5K.

    Usual grey importers have this at a similar price if you really feel like gambling $3.5K.

    It's not really gambling, it's whether warranty is worth $1,100 to you - i.e. is the probability of the camera needing to be warrantied more or less than 1/3 over the lifetime of the camera. Hard to say.

      Randomly not turning on, shutter locking up/down, shutter damage, buttons not working, screen not turning on, lenses not being detected.

      Do you really want to risk all that (and more) to save $1100 on a camera when you'd have to purchase a brand new one otherwise (because let's be honest, most grey importers don't really give a shit about helping with post-sales problems).

        Got my 5D IV and 16-35 2.8 III back from Canon. They repaired stuff there for free.
        Warranty is super important to me, hence I would never buy a camera from o'seas just to save a few bucks.

        Well it's hard to say, I was involved with starting up a photography business (that I'm no longer a part of) a few years ago - we bought a couple of 5D Mark III's for around $2,500 grey, when they were around $3,500 here in AU. I ended up buying 4 of them - that's $10,000 vs $14,000. Even if one of them completely broke, I'd still have been better off going grey. On top of that, it's not like you have access to no repairs at all on grey imports - you just have to pay for the repairs.

        Ultimately, it depends on what you're using it for - if you're an occasional shooter who expects a camera to last for 5 years, then yeah, go for the local one. But on the other hand, if you replace your cameras regularly, and well before they're likely to develop any issues, then I think grey is no problem.

        I didn't neg you by the way - I completely appreciate your point of view. However, camera manufacturers are taking us for a ride (especially here in AU) and I think we all know that.

  I'm under the impression this sale is subject to Duty, Customs fees and GST given its an overseas import from Hong Kong.

  • 

    Major Mess on 16/08/2018 - 19:41

    Yep GST and customs are going to add another $500

  $3.5K… should I buy this camera or be able to afford my year's worth of groceries?

    If you take naked photos of yourself or others you can possibly sell them to make back grocery money. Hmm…

  BamBam cheapsk8 on 16/08/2018 - 16:56

  Expensive for grey. I got mine for 2900 off eBay using 10% voucher.

  • 

    Rifraf on 16/08/2018 - 16:57

    Can you inform on the add on costs? i.e. Duty and customs etc?

    • 

      Tacooo on 16/08/2018 - 17:14

      GST of 10% and import duties of 5%. Just add 15% to the total cost.

  Isn't Sony Killing it with their A7iii series FF camera? Maybe a better purchase if you aren't tied up in canons lens ecosystem

  • 

    Tacooo on 16/08/2018 - 17:14

    Mirrorless vs mirror. Can't really compare.

    • 

      nhutty on 16/08/2018 - 17:24

      why can't we compare? they're both Full frame cameras.

        NuclearWessels on 16/08/2018 - 19:54

        Mirror does make a big difference. I wouldn't want to go back to shooting without it unless I absolutely needed a compact camera.

  chutibuti on 16/08/2018 - 17:48

  This is what i paid 2 months back, from some other vendor

  I would say that a7 from sony is a better ff offering. for the same price you can fetch a ff body and stellar performing lens, all locally supplied, and jump off shooting weddings 24/7.

  • 

    NuclearWessels on 16/08/2018 - 19:49

    The A7 is mirrorless though isn't it? My experience borrowing mirrorless cameras compared to SLRs were that they were horribly clunky.

  Major Mess on 16/08/2018 - 19:43

  The replacement Canon FF mirrorless is due by the end of the year.

• 

  Rifraf on 16/08/2018 - 21:31

  Whats with the mirrorless obsession?
