Which one Used or New Canon 1DX

[rajjayaraj]

Which one should i buy?

I got an offer on Canon 1DX with 60,000 activation with 2 extra battery for £3300 bought in uk, only few months left on insurance and not sure if they would transfer it anyway or

One of the honk gong company based in u.k offering new with 3 year warranty for the same price.

I think that if I was investing that sort of money I would want some warranty so for me it would be the new one.

Agree I would go new

I too would buy NEW. Go for the Hong Kong company!

I tell you though, it's not half dropped in price. I'd go new too.

Go to HDEW, I don't recommend people lightly plus a three year warrantee! I paid £4299 for mine from them. Highly satisfied.

I did phone them, but, unfortunately they are not anymore dealing with 1DX.

If your going to consider grey then give DR a shot - I just looked and converting the display from euro's to sterling its coming out at £3700 - I've spent over 10k with them and they have always given me a great service and recently bought my 5Diii from them

I went to a CPN event recently, and they were promoting a two-year interest-free deal on the 1DX. See: http://www.canon.co.uk/1dxifc/
WEX are also offering a two-year interest-free deal, with a £400 trade-in on selected bodies.

The company i was mailing and asking for is called Value basket, the warehouse based in Lankashire (local) and their price is £3285 and if quidco goes through then another £50 less saves for a spare battery (promises local 3 year warranty)

Re: Which one Used or New Canon 1DX

I have nothing to trade in, sold most of my lens and camera and investing only what i am more likely be using in the future. Interest free is a good one but might be paying the full u.k price of around £4550. I now have the cash from all my sales and just looking option on cheaper one off payment with warranty.

Re: Which one Used or New Canon 1DX

thats very cheap. I always assumed DR was one of the cheaper grey importers but they can't get anywhere near that price, although as I've been using them for years and know the service I would still consider them as an option, especially when you consider the price difference between new and 2nd hand is only £400, really nothing on a purchase of that value

Re: Which one Used or New Canon 1DX

Raj, I will not touch Value basket with a barge pole. So many negative comments and I have had a terrible experience with them; I paid money for my G15 to them and never got the item- always postponing their date of desptach. So in the end I got my bank to use their cash back service to get the money back to me, which they did. I finally bought mine via Panamoz; I am very satisfied with them. So, do not touch Value Basket at all.

Re: Which one Used or New Canon 1DX

Thanks Nathaniel for the Heads up. I guess then the only cheap option now is DR unless someone know anywhere cheaper?

Re: Which one Used or New Canon 1DX

What lenses you going to be using with this camera now that you've sold them?
