Newegg Price drop!!

Thanks milvid. Has this been the lowest price you have found from a reputable source? Meaning not one of those websites that advertise it for #1299 to $1700 but then cancel your order if you don't buy their $400 UV Filter (which is worth $35) and their $300 2.5 hour battery. Do I sound bitter? I ordered from one of them two weeks ago and found out "It was too good to be true." I am now looking for a good price, but realize I will spend a considerable amount more. I am just trying to minimize the damage as much as possible, since I have since I also want to buy the Firestor and a 35mm adapter.

Any ideas on the best real price would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Newegg is a reputable vendor. Computer parts is their main thing but they've branched out to say the least. Their customer support is very good and very understanding. The only trouble I have is getting approved for the no payments for 6 months account :(
 
Mahar,
This is a very good price. B&H is selling the camera for $3500.
This is just a good way to save $100 and maybe buy a bigger battery of some filters from B&H.
I have ordered a lot of expensive items and have had no problems with Newegg.
I ordered my A1 yesterday morning. I'm thinking I should get it Wednesday or Thursday.

I'll keep this post current.

I recently ordered a tripod through Newegg... UPS claims to have delivered it to the front door, but I never received the item. I filed a claim and Newegg had a replacement shipped out within a few days. Unfortunately UPS lost the second tripod in a sort facility to which I had to file a second claim on a replacement item. Newegg refunded the money after confirming the lost item.

Newegg is a great online retailer. Customer service is great (even if you have to hold for 20+ minutes). I order computer components frequently and have never had a problem until the above, which is evidently UPS' fault and not Newegg. Newegg has an agreement with UPS that they will not require signatures on delivery, although I think UPS has a policy that all items above $500 require a signature.

In summary.
Newegg good.
UPS bad.
 
Wow that bites, just ordered my A1 on Thursday and its been "processing" till this point . I wonder if I can cancel lol and only buy the filter and tapes from B&H
 
Yep newegg is top notch. I just got my D200 from them as B&H had them on backorder, and I got my DVX100B from them as well.

hi mates
if anybody can help me, I do my best but I cannot find any authorised dealer in Sydney, AU. CanonAustralia doesnt provide any information and seems to dont want me to buy xha1 :(
on canon.com.au is no information like "where to buy" or "autohirsed dealers" or even email contact...
 
Since Newegg is primarily a CPU parts vendor I dont expect them to be an "authorized" dealer for cameras. Canon does honor the rebate if you buy it from Newegg, otherwise they wouldnt put it on their page.

The $100 price drop is nice but I wonder what happens next month when the $250 Canon rebate expires? Will it be like the DVX100B where it returned to full price for a few weeks and then they doubled their rebate?

On Newegg's page? I've seen websites that say authorized dealer on them and they wheren't. Seems a bit scary to me. If anyone buys from newegg the gets your rebate check please post.

I'm also wondering this...I don't know whether to take the plunge and buy it now or wait and save some money. Also does anyone know if the rebate has to reach Canon by the 30th or does it just need to be purchased before the 30th? Sorry for going off topic :cool:.

People on this board have had pretty good experiences buying cameras from Newegg, in this case a few bought the DVX100B when the rebate was at $250 last year.

Funny how for the same price these people paid 8 months ago you can now get the A1 for the same amount today.

Yep, but it's not like the DVX is a heaping pile of dogpoop either. It's a very solid, time tested, camera with great features. That said, I really like the SD images coming from the A1. 20x is great for what I do.

Oh no disrespect to the DVX, I wished I had the money to buy one back in September, but I was just pointing out how no one would have imagined the new A1 being this cheap back when it came out last year. Maybe a year or two later but not within 6-7 months. If I keep waiting I might never get a camera. :undecided
 
Can someone find out if they ship to Norway or not? =) It is almost 3000$ cheaper to buy from US than to shop here in norway.
Also,
do I get the camera with NTSC or PAL? And can I change it from NTSC to PAL in that case ?

I believe there are US dealers that sell both PAL and NTSC version. Or you can get an NTSC version and pay an extra $500 to have PAL framerates and functionality added to it.
