Hey guys (and girls) im looking to upgrade my dslr and dont intend on spending more than 2k on a body, as i have a $6000 cruise to pay for haha.

i noticed their wasnt a specific forum in the photography thread in regards to for sale, wanted, borrowing etc.

Is anyone selling either a Canon 7D body, or Canon 5D body, in excellent condition. I was originally looking on ebay but dont want to risk the item being held up at customs as i have alot of work for next month where my camera will be needed..Thanks, chase

Hey mate,

You may as well look into aussie companies. 7D's have come way down in price lately.

www.topbuy.com.au has some ridiculous pricing on them, i donno if its too good to be true, but a few mates have bought cameras off there and they are legit (look legit at least, unsure if they are refurbs from Taiwan or something).

www.digidirect.com.au - Genuine resaler with aussie warranty. $1900 for 7D body brand new with aussie warranty is a friggin bargain!

www.camerasdirect.com.au - Another great website. Imported stuff though, but everyone i've spoke to has never ever had a problem and they have great customer service.

My mate just bought $4K worth of stuff from BH and he got stung $450 from customs. I've bought a $2K lens from BH and didnt get held up, but if you need it urgently then i'd look into buying it off someone from australia (even if they import). IT will be around the same price.

Static Ice for 7D body - Australia-wide: http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi...Answ&spos=1

Same for 5D body: http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi...body&spos=1

You can narrow those searches down to just your own state, or if you need it urgently B&H is the go, as long as you're ready to pay the import taxes - I just bought a lens, two filters and a genuine battery through them that added up to about $1,200, and I got stung for the import tax. However, I did have it that same week, and that's from NY.

How much you get charged Nick? It's $1000+ i think you get stung for.

Interesting. Whether to save $2K and buy a 500L from BH and pay import taxes (wonder how much on a $7,000 lens) or spen the extra $2K and get aussie warranty and pay $8300.. hhmm

Just under $128.00, Kory.

The lens itself was US$1,040, compared to paying ~Au$1,500 if I bought it here in Australia. I'm guessing if I'd bought the battery and filters separately, I could have gotten away without being hit for the extra.

I know the warranty for a camera body is only valid for the country of purchase, but aren't lens warranties world-wide?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
