My Camera: Canon S5 and 50D
I need a 50D

Anyone want to help me find a good deal on one? Got the cash. Need the gear.

$1160 at 42ndStreet Photo
$1167 at Amazon.com
$1167 at BH
$1189 at BeachCamera
$1230 at Adorama
$1400 at Ritz

*sigh* I wish I hadn't missed that Canon rebate sale a couple weeks back. It would have only been $1050.


If I buy off a Canadian website that and pay in CAD, I'd get a screaming deal... Hmmm...

Ebay # 230323926156. The guy had great ratings - just a thought 1,036.10.

I had forgotten about buying in Canada. I have Friday off - just maybe a trip is in my future! If I can find my birth certificate that is.

Damn wish I would have noticed this sooner.

Jason my GF goes to Canada at least once a month (Just went last weekend...Doh). I'll see about having her look around up there if you want.

The dollar exchange is in our favor for the time being. The price in Canada may look the same as the price is the US but if you charge it to a credit card or debit card the banks will charge or debit your account in US funds. It changes daily:

Currency Calculator

You also have to pay GST but you can fill out a form and get that back. Sometimes your bank may also charge you a fee for the international conversion. It sounds like a scam but it works for me!
