Too good to be true?
A web based outfit called www.warehouseexpress.com are advertising the Canon 1ds at �5,499 inc VAT which is �4,680 exc. VAT. The ads are also in print in two photo mags.
Very tempting. Keep us posted.
Kodak are barnstorming around the country at the moment putting a lot of effort into selling the 14n. Will this cause Canon to compete a bit more on price? I am in no hurry for a month or so.
I went to the 14n roadshow as I really wanted to be convinced it could hack it. I have a yerning to work with Nikon lenses again. Its better than it was but the 200ISO limit kills it for me. I don't live in LA, I live in Manchester which is a 400ISO sort of place. I really hoped it would convince me the firmware is almost there but it didn't. In every other way I could like the camera, especially the software.
Piece of trivia..... Today $8,000 equals �5,000 exactly. $7,999 is the B&H price in NY.
Which is what you can get it for here if they ever get them back on the shelves.
