chconline Veteran Posted February 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2011 So some of you may know that I bought a 430EX II flash for $270 CAD last month -- https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/965564-just-bought-a-canon-430ex-ii/ Just struck another deal today, this time at B&H. Cheapest in Canada is $999.99 + tax even if I wanted to buy locally. That's $1050, so I was like nah. B&H has it for $899.99, but I swear I saw the price was $888.99 last week and it said it was valid until 3/31. So I emailed them and negotiated the price down to $888.00 from $899.99. Yep, I took the effort to save $12 on a $900 body, which is an already competitive price :laugh: Here's the price quote I got. With the Canadian dollar so high right now $957.01 with taxes, shipping all in, I think it's quite a deal even after the poor credit card conversion rates. :yes: Can't wait to get my hands on it to replace my aging 20D. 1080p video FTW! (Wait till I go broke with L-series lenses, haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've been a nikon user too for 5+ Years, doesn't mean that I don't appreciate teh stuff canon does. Hey if I could afford it, I would probably own a FX body from Pentax, Nikon, Sony and Canon :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chconline Veteran Posted March 3, 2011 Author Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just started testing out some random shots last night... these are pretty much on semi automatic mode so I haven't done too much playing around, just to make sure everything is working correctly and by no means by best photos :p (Note: No Photoshop work has been done to them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
