So, show us your receipt (in detail). And if you aren't a hoax than you must be willing to show your real name, address and phone number. From what country did they send your camera?

Looking forward hearing from you...

Masterzatser, I edited your previous post as you are really quoting the wrong person - 'vertuman' is the mystery buyer claiming to have purchased from (and not be working for) the 'scam' site. Not Clint_Black ;)

Welcome to the forums anyway :)
 
I don't think he will...:shake: :shake:
 
Still, when you think about it, if you stripped out the advertising, free loans at mejor sporting events, how much does it cost to manufacture a 5D?..... but that's irrelevant as we all know!! maybe £250?

Well it'll be a lot less than we pay that's for sure - but producing full frame sensors is extremely expensive, although Canon are getting prices down all the time. The original canon 1Ds was over £6K body only for it's 11 million pixels and the cost of producing the sensors represented about 80% of that cost. I remember reading that each process produced a batch of 8 sensors and the scrap rate was very high. Canon are getting more pixels on that sensor now for less money, but I'm sure it's still a very difficult and costly process or more manufacturers would be turning them out.
 
Yes, I'm sure you're right, and I for one thank Canon for having the full frame sensor. - pays yer money and takes yer choice!!
 
I tried to buy the 5d from express camera and from camera usa and from three other stores and all said the same after trying to order one--it would take 7-21 days-after i called back after 21 days it change to 4-6 weeks- after that it was 6-8 weeks -all because i did not want to buy a lot of other stuff they tried to sell me- I ended up payimg 2670.00 for the camera body and 5 year warenty.
 
mmmmmmmm.......don't think I'd have done that....
