I think you can take the D300 pricing and expect similar of the 7D. Which I think means about 200 to 300 drop over it's in production life.

how low will the 7D go?
FS has their promo of $100 off $1000 or more. So after PM from Blacks that has it for $1999 it would be $1989 and then apply the coupon to have it at $1889+tax=$2134
BH has it for $1700 but after paying taxes at customs and the conversion its $2055+whatever shipping costs are.
So my question is how low do you think it will average out at?

Oct 29th, 2009 09:13 AM #3There won't be any significant price drop for at least another year or so, especially if it sells well. Nikon and Canon seem intent on pushing the top-prosumer level to the $2000 CDN mark so I can see the D300s and 7D dropping down to $1500 CDN levels at the end of their life... if we're lucky.

In a few years I'm sure you can pick one up for under $200. Look at the 1D classic: 8 years ago it was $5500 and now you can get one for $500!!!!

Oct 29th, 2009 03:47 PM #8After taxes with shipping from Alberta. The dealer seems ok so hopefully no issues. Seems to be selling a lot of camera gear of various sorts. Made some mistake with the payment (why the heck does paypal defaults to chequing when I have creditcard for ages? Stupid design, they need a competitor) and he helped me sorted it out right away.

I think as a rule in general Futureshop etc don't make a lost on things like these. After doing a conversion on the US retail price to CAD I think we are just getting ripped off at retail in Canada. The mark up here must be pretty big.Last edited by gotak; Oct 29th, 2009 at 04:06 PM.

In a few years, you're probably looking at a 7D Mark II or Mark III. So what's the point of buying a 7D then when there's something better available? Originally Posted by 13inches

btw, are the 2 kit lense any good? the very wide 15-85 IS and 18-135 IS, any reviews on this lense yet?
the kit 18-135 from B&H is around $200 more, why is it $550 more here?
I want a Vdslr, but the 500D/T1i just dont cut it, but the 7D is still very pricey. any news on 60D yet? Reply With Quote

It arrived. I used it. It's new or basically new. Not sure how it works but the seller included a receipt from future shop for it but the price listed on it was 2099 after taxes. So seems a bit funny but registered on Canon's website no issues.

Nov 4th, 2009 03:18 PM #15Heh, yea that's a bit odd, $2099 is the standard retail price for the 7D before taxes... even in Alberta you still gotta pay the 5% GST at least. Originally Posted by gotak
