Hi,
Recently I posted a request for people's suggestions on good 35mm SLR cameras, as
I am considering buying one. I have been very grateful for the response, and hopefully have replied to everyone who sent me e-mail...
Since sending my request I have been reading every book on photography I can lay my hands on, and looking around all the camera shops. The two cameras I am tossing up between are the Canon EOS1000FN (equivalent to the Canon Rebel IIS) or the Canon EOS100 (equivalent to the Elan). The price of both these cameras (which both come with a 35-80mm lens) is $995 and $1600 respectively (NZ dollars). It seems that cameras are a lot more expensive in NZ than they are in the U.S in particular. This brings me to
my point. I am goint to Surfers Paradise and Brisbane at the end of next week and want a camera for this trip. I would be very grateful if anybody living in Australia (especially this area) could give me a price on both these cameras (Australian dollars), and I can see if it is worth waiting until I get over there or buying it before I leave. Unfortunately they don't sell Canons at duty free shops in Wellington.
