Thread: camera for sale

Are you in Blighty or Thailand?

Never bought anything off Ebay while Ive been in the jungle, might get hit with import tax or something.

uk at the mo melv,maybe arrange insurance from the seller on ebay? i wouldnt trust the thai post with a 200 nicker camera either mate

dont think youll get hit if its sent to a thai?

I thought they might be pretty sharp on anything like that coming here. I still dont know if they sell cameras at the duty free over the Friendship Bridge, Im getting itchy fingers and hole in my pocket.

Just checked an the Canon SL5i is a whopping 15,900. Dont fancy paying that much for an 8MP, shame as I like Canon.

camera's are well priced here in Thailand and a brand new model can be bought for around those prices.

Canons are a bit expensive when compared to other makes, but I still like them the best.

Generally theyre more expensive in my experience.

Theyre advertising the S5Is for 10,900. Only problem is I cant read a word of Thai and the Mrs is out. No idea if thats gonna have tax added, how much for shipping or if its a rip off altogether.

if you know where you can get them cheap then Im all ears

^ Go to MBK or Pantip and bargain.

Im in the jungle so a trip to BKK without knowing the prices could be a waste of time. If I was heading to BKK I would go for Chinatown anyway. I was looking for online places, I'll wait til the Mrs gets home to give me the lowdown on the site in Thai.

Never buy your electronics in MBK. Nothing but bother from the sellers in there and they will sell you faulty merchandise without thinking twice about it especially if you are a foreigner. It's a tourist trap.

Yes, anything but Nikon..shit reliability, shit service, great lenses, but if the electronics fail...you are up shit creek! been there, screwed with a dud CP5700...never again. Stick with Canon or Fuji or Sony, beware the Nikon!

looks like nice camera, still available?

sorry its long gone
