[QUOTE="GLXMAN, post: 1539886, member: 259477"] @GLXMAN Mate just wondering if you buy in Australia and if so, what store, online or not do you use for buying ?? Just wondering so i dont have to keep going OS for products if i can get them at home just as cheap ?? Cheers[/QUOTE] I have a local business, (Adelaide), Photographic Wholesalers who I buy most of my gear from My friend buys most of his gear on line, and, for the most part, has done OK You will find quite a few "on line" companies here in Australia but most appear to be OS companies operating out of Australia 2 we use. Digital Camera Warehouse, and Discount Digital Photographic's One thing to consider is "grey market" or not! "grey market" are camera's that are shipped into Australia from another outlet, not through Nikon Australia It is still a genuine Nikon but the warranty is not covered here in Australia, you have to send it back overseas, a lot of hassle IMHO This where you usually see a marked difference in price My friend has bought quite a lot of gear from DDP as their price has been the best but it appears you make your order, they then order from Singapore and you could be waiting for a month or more, Im guessing Singapore is out of stock sometimes. Pain, but the price is right On the other hand, DCW only sell Nikon authorised cameras so the warranty in Australia is all good, the difference being, the price is a little more, their body prices are pretty good but their lenses are quite expensive Good reliable source for overseas purchases is B&H, most probably the largest supplier in the world, note that you are still technically buying "grey market", the warranty is still good, just a pain if something does go wrong Something to think about, There has been quite a lot of camera models with complaints of oil flicking on the sensor, just a nature of the beast I guess and slack QC but it can happen, approximately $200 to clean here in Australia, but under warranty here in Australia, free! Lastly, Photographic Wholesalers here in Adelaide are quite competitive DCW is about the right price so if a local business is way over, just buy on line, "grey market" would not be my choice so read the fine print if you go that direction FWIW, Im finding Aperture a great program for the price ....Gary [/QUOTE]
