I am intending to update to the above, body only, soonish. I'm not in a rush, waiting for price to level out.

Monitoring Camerapricebuster I feel it has now more or less levelled out, starting from a release RRP of £3K to the now pretty common £2455 (it's more or less that on Amazon and WEX too).

Please don't quote me prices on overseas supplied websites!

Just testing other folks thoughts if they agree or not that that models price has finally levelled out.

Any input greatly appreciated.

I won't quote you an overseas supplier price but I'll be ordering a 5D3 in the next 2 or 3 weeks and I'll be paying over £600 less than the price you've quoted above.

You'll be happy with your UK warranty card and I'll be happy with £600 sitting in the bank. Both of us with have the exact same camera.

On a more helpfl note, prices will always come down but I think we've readched a point now where the price drops have reached a point where they will be slow so waiting 2 or 3 months won't make much difference. If you are happy with the £2,450 price then go for it.

Thanks for your input Rob, I only meant that, not quoting overseas websites was a consistent comparison, as camerpricebuster doesn't. I won't be paying £2455.

You've confirmed my thoughts

Thanks again

Hmmmmm, Mk5..??

Thought the latest was the Mk3.

Oh! and apologies for the typo.

Once you hit the enter key the title seems to be set in stone for the non-moderators.

Someone was talking about <£2300 prices just this week, from Amazon themselves, but I don't see that price now. Might have been on another board.
 
If you want a bargain have a look here http://hdewcameras6-px.rtrk.co.uk/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-body-961-p.asp I got my 5D3 at Hdew cameras just after they were released and the price then was £27??, can't remember exact price, but they have an offer price of £1999 at the moment.

They are UK based and they offer a 3 year warranty with it and the warranty is covered by a Canon approved service centre too. They are a very reliable company to deal with and I bought a 5D2 with 24-105 L last year the 5D3 earlier this year, they even arranged a saturday delivery of RMSD at no extra cost as they knew I needed the camera for the sunday.

I remember this site you've linked to coming up before. Was that actually confirmed as being and actual HDEW site? If not sure if it was or not.

thats the one i was talking about, the also sell on ebay under pixel_uk,
I bought my 5d3 from them for just about 2k, and it was UK stock and I got a VAT receipt as well.

Recently bought a 100mm L macro for well under £600, with next day delivery. Managed to get a further discount by opting for bank transfer.
Ask for Neal, very helpful
 
£1865 If you shop around and are willing to buy a grey import

Is that from a UK site though or from Panamoz with the 5% discount for payment via bank transfer. If you read the OP he says he doesn't want overseas supplier quotes which is why I looked at Hdew as they are usually the cheapest UK supplier price. The site in my link in my previous post I've had in my favourites since I bought my 5D3 at the end of march and I've checked it regularly.

I didn't know Hdew sold through ebay at all, I will have a look and add them to my list of favourite sellers. I've bought around £5000 worth of gear in the last year and thoroughly trust them.

I've only heard of £1865 from Panamoz - does anyone know if that's still the up to date price (it was just over a week ago)?
 
Was shipped on Friday & I have had confirmation of delivery on Monday

Yes it is from Panamoz and after using the 5D3 today, I am very very happy with the performance shooting junior rugby with 1.4 mk2 TC and 400mm 2.8 IS....Very impressed...
 
I usually get all my gear feom Panamoz, and I highly recommend them for price and service, but I got my 5D3 from Hdew as they had a 3 year warranty included and they had stock in at the time, and Panamoz didn't. I love the 5D3 completely and can see me using it for a long time to come, the IQ I get from my 70-200 f2.8 MkII and MkIII 2x converter is better than I used to get with my Canon 100-400 L on my 5D2, which was very good anyway.

Just a bit off topic, Canon has announced a firmware update for the 5D3 that's due to be released next march which will make the centre point focus to f8 like the 1D series which I'm sure will benefit a lot of people who want to use extenders on their lenses.
