p.1 #1 · Best 5D3 Europe Pricing

Hi,

Can people give me links to the best pricing on a 5D3 in Europe. Trying to see if I can get a better deal than the UK prices but still retain a 'kosher' EU warranty. I have tried google-ing but not sure what places are trustworthy.

Thanks!

Realistically, anyone 'much' cheaper than Amazon or Warehouse Express is unlikely to be genuine european stock.

I was wondering whether there were any decent French, Dutch, German, etc dealers who would ship to the UK where the price would be cheaper there? Trying to avoid the ebay retailers if I can.

Why? to spend more than in other places in the UK? Guys, as I wrote clearly in the OP, I'm looking for European retailers, I know the pricing in the UK and don't want to spend it if I don't have to!

UK prices are currently the best or as close as makes no difference. You’re not going to get a new EU-stock 5D Mark III for a penny less than £2200.

Netherlands:

http://www.cameratools.com
http://www.cameranu.nl

Belgium:

Try the various Amazons if you want (.fr, .de, .es, etc.), and follow up with Google Shopping in the most promising country from your Amazon searches, but you’re not going to beat £2200 at the moment.

Thanks, would have hoped otherwise but you've set my mind at rest now. I'll just wait till the price plummets further.

HDEW Cameras supplied mine last summer for £2259 + delivery. Within a few days of purchase, before I had taken delivery, the price dropped by £70, which they refunded on request without fuss.

Today it is down to £1879 + delivery. They have a very good rep. My camera was sourced from Europe and includes a one year warranty which Canon UK will honour, plus a further two years third party warranty.

Here is their reply to me when I raised such questions prior to purchase....

Hi Tim,

The camera will be EU Stock, the camera body comes with a three year warranty, which covers you for mechanical faults, breakdown, parts and labour and this will be repaired in the UK through a Canon repair centre. The first year of the warranty is with Canon and the next two years will be with us as your retailer.

Yes when you place the order if you request a VAT invoice we can get one sent out for you.

We do not discount on bank transfers I am afraid, the camera body is priced at the lowest we can offer as we do try to keep them as low as possible.

Delivery will be within 3-5 working days from when you place the order.

Please call us on 0208 669 5668 10am - 5pm (or 10am - 3pm on sat) if you are interested, or if you would like any more information.

Kind regards
Melissa

This is the reply I just got:

Hello Ben,

We do import our stock from outside of the UK, however all of the products we sell are UK specification.

You will get a three year warranty which covers you for mechanical faults, breakdown, parts and labour and this will be repaired in the UK through a Canon approved repair centre. The first year of the warranty will be with canon and the next two years will be with us as your retailer.

Please call us on 0208 669 5668 10am - 5pm (or 10am - 3pm on sat) if you are interested, or if you would like any more information.

Kind Regards
Shaun

Looks good to me!

Been doing some googling, HDEW seem to be fully no questions asked legit. I also may have seen a 50L for £945 which was ridiculously tempting.
