Where to find a D700

[agriffiths]

Can anyone tell me where to find the best deal on a D700 these days?

I usually buy stuff through the bargains section but it seems even Vanbar can beat the bargains price.

and if you don’t use PayPal there is no charge for courier or insurance.

ECS are doing AUS stock at grey prices (or close enough)

And one of the DSLRUser members work for a store that are doing good deals as well. cant remember which post I was looking at???

Otherwise this would be close to the best deal... I have no idea on what they are like as a business though.

Scored one in Singapore no problems. (not overly helpful unless you have a business trip coming?)

That would be Michael at Ted's in Pitt St, IIRC. Look at this thread

I suspect that the deal you're quoting is a bit too good to be true.

I'd be inclined to send Michael a PM or email to just introduce yourself, and to arrange an appointment to meet with him in-store. No point in wandering in if he's not going to be around.

Wow thanks for the reponse guys. That was fast!

Those are some great deals.

I'll be strapping this to a UAV helicopter, hence the need to find the best $ deal. The pucker factor is a real issue when you're flying a $3,000+ camera .
