scott_ferris Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Just a heads up and of course I have no affiliation with anybody, but Adorama currently have a short term <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ICA7D.html?emailprice=t&sub=News&utm_term=Other&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=rflaid64393">sale on the 7D</a>, and a few other EOS bits, that goes well above the rebate program. The 7D is listed at $1,199 brand new full warranty etc, that is the same price they are trying to sell used ones for!</p> <p>Seems like a good time to get one if you have been thinking about it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_j2 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>The price of a used 7D will drop to around $750 now and will continue to drop as the 7D replacement is announced.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_ferris Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Sorry Bob, when I posted it it was definitely $1,199, maybe it had been a mispost by Adorama but the price was correct when I posted. Try <a href="http://www.adorama.com/ICA7D.html?emailprice=t&sub=News&utm_term=Other&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=rflaid64393">this link.</a> That doesn't seem to work either! But the screenshot is good.</p> <p>Here is a screenshot too.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_j2 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Scott, this is what it is selling for in Toronto. Used prices are around $1050. No one in their right mind will buy it used for that price.</p> <p>http://www.adencamera.com/product-overviewer.asp?ProdID=2999&Category=6</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_ferris Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Here is a photo of the url in my browser. When you click on my links they redirect to the wrong page, this is the page that the sale is on and it is still working now.</p> <p> [<i>Sorry - image removed because it contains an affiliate ID</i>] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>As I said, photo.net automatically messes with links for various reasons. Sometimes it adds a "no follow" directive in order to dissuade people from trying to use photo.net to boost their own Google rank.. Sometimes it inserts the photo.net affiliate code to prevent people trying to use photo.net for their own affiliate sales. Sometimes it directs the link through photo.net's own adserver. If it sees someone else's affiliate code in a link, I think it will attempt to remove or replace it. That's the reason the link is not showing up properly.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_ferris Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 <p>Peter,</p> <p>Any way you look at it it is $170 less than other big online retailers in the USA are currently selling them for. If you choose not to buy a camera at this stage in its product cycle that is fine, but you are rather stating the obvious, even if it is a little premature. Even if an 8D/7Dx/7D MkII was announced tomorrow there is no way we would be seeing them on the shelf in any volume much before the Christmas season given Canon's recent announcement to delivery performances.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 <p>I reported the issue and our programing wizard Jin Choi has now tweaked our code so that the link in the original post should now work. That's pretty instant service for late on a Sunday evening! Bet you don't find too many websites that are as responsive.<br> Thanks Jin</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viktor_pugach Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well if 7d will be announced it sure will be much higher priced than the first version just like it happened with 5 d mark III ! Inflation , so IF ur waiting for new 7d and expect it to be same price that original 7d was selling for I would think again and again ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 <p>$1200 is a great price. I recall paying $1600 2.5 years ago. A small premium for a couple years of images and enjoyment.</p> Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 <p>If you're interested, you missed it. It's back up to $1549 today...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viktor_pugach Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Man I bet it was some aroma price error and when they realized it they fixed it!
