Just ordered an EOS 60D - what a deal.


Recommended Posts

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)

thats a pretty good deal. I got a T2i last month for 585 US $ with a 18-55mm IS kit lens.

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)

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
