So far so good, I didn't purchase any extended warranties though. They told me after 14 days I would have to deal with Canon directly.
It all really depends on the salesperson/store you go to aswell.

Ended up buying the D300s for $1574.99 + tax from FS. I'm just going to leave it in the box for a few days to see if other places are willing to beat that price. I'm also debating if it's too much camera for me right now and might settle for a D90.

Wow. Killer camera! Hope you get to use it to the full potential.

I ended up picking up a T1i with the 18-55mm lens for $740 from FS. That's a pretty good price from what I've seen. Looking forward to playing around with it now.

Okay, got this from a friend today.... gave him my standard advice (pick the one that feels the most compfortable), and a link to a side-by-side on DPReview with a quick explanation of the difference in specs... but figured I'd see what everyone here thinks as well:

At your friend's level, XSI, T1r, T2r are all negligible in difference. Tell him to get an XSI, should last him for quite a long time, and he'll save money that he can use on lenses.

i vote t2i, at the price point the extra iso means extra stops for all his lenses, plus video

unless he purchases the xsi or t1i used, then i think it's worth it.

Hey guys planning to grab a sony DSCTX7 soon, any advice as to where would be a good place to get a good price/deal ?

I have a question.

If I were to buy a camera from let's say (www.bhphotovideo.com) which is in the US, will US customs unpackage it, or will they charge tax, or how exactly does this work... maybe it just comes straight to my house?

Usually when i bought lenses etc I comes straight to my door, but since the camera costs more just wanted to make sure.

I had bought some DC from bhphotovideo.com before. Your package will go through Canada Custom and you will probably end up paying 12 % (GST + PST) of the face value of your DC , so it will cost you extra. No import duty for lens or DC.

Anyone play with the latest crop of P&S's?

i had my eyes set on the S90 but the lack of 720P just kills it for me, and the LX3 seems too big ....

Now, I was looking at the DSC-HX5V, F80EXR, and DMC-ZS3
I'd also consider the canon SD###IS models but the numbers just baffle me and all the reviews seems so similar

The LX3 isn't big at all. Just avoid Nikon P&S, as they are POS.

I see, well anyways I'm looking to buy the T2i (just the body), it looks like a great camera for the price.

Anyone know of any places they sell them online for a good price? I just looked around ebay and bhphotovideo, and let's say the 12% tax was added and the shipping it will cost almost the same as one here....

any places locally I can get a good price on just the body as well if not over the internet?

Just a heads up for anyone who's looking for a D300s body.

Future Shop is selling it for $1719.99, Lens and Shutter has it for $1549 until April 11. If you price match at FS, you can buy it for $1531.99... a savings of $188.

EDIT: FML. $1499.99 at Broadway Camera now. Luckily FS gave me another price match today. I don't think it would be fair to compare prices online with a local shop. You save a little bit of money but you don't get to try out what you want to buy beforehand. The only time I would buy online is if I don't have to try the item and the price was substantially lower.

How come?

The S90 has much better noise levels at higher ISOs.

Another person that has no business reviewing cameras. That 'reviewer' is an idiot. Of course the S90 has less noise at high ISO - at the expense of lost detail!

The lens distortion on the S90 is horrendous - something you can't see in the JPEG due to the correction done by the camera. The correction also crops into the image so that an image shot at the widest setting isn't very wide anymore. Does he mention this? Err, no.
He does mention something that is correct IMO, that the S90 is more for the amatuer, and the LX3 is for someone who knows something about photography.

I personally prefer the LX3 due to the lens and controlability. The S90 isn't bad, I actually would not mind owning one, but the LX3 is better for my needs. The S90 may be a better camera for others.

I think Henry's ebay store has the cheapest price for the D300s in Canada, ~1,440.60

Anyone have experience with the Canon D10?

Looking into a Tokina 11-16 ƒ2.8 for my D90.

Thoughts on lens?

One of the best wide angle zooms on the market for 1.5/1.6 crop sensor DSLR.

My sister bought it..she loves it. Durable build, waterproof, yadda yadda. If I had one negative thing to say, it's that it's very bulky and big compared to the Olympics tough series and the other element-proof cameras that other companies provide.. but then again it's probably better to have something bigger to hold onto if you're in the water.

What I thought was really unique was the ability to change which corner you wanted your wrist strap on. Just a simple twist-on lock thing, but still very handy..

Typical Canon quality in terms of pictures etc.

That's what I've been hearing. Thanks.

Nice. Thanks. When I first saw this camera I was thinking there is NO way in hell I'm going to get that. But the more I think about it.. it seems to be a great complement to a SLR.. able to go places you normally wouldn't dare dream to bring your SLR.

Why is it only the Canons that are backordered :cry:

From what I hear, can't beat the lens at that price point.

They're not backordered at all.
