Any1 tell me where i can buy a Canon Mark3?

And the G10 is much more expensive here when compared to the UK. Carrefour have it for QR2600 whereas in the UK you can get it for the equivalent of less than QR2000 at Amazon.

May your dreams take you travelling all through your life.

Top of the line Camera from Canon is 1Ds MkIII - I think not available in Salam - The available camera is 1D MKIII (without "s") and it cost around QR20.

Or top ot the line from Nikon D3X (also not seen in Salam) - the available is D3 (without "X") with almost similar price with Canon 1D MkIII.

It's depend on your lens you have now - if you have Canon lens then you should buy Canon body.

I do not know what kind of journalist are you - sport journalist or indoor journalist. For sport definitely Nikon is the best, but for indoor Canon much better..

But why did you buy G10? it is not for journalist -- I use G10 only for travelling - for documentation / photography I use my DSLR..

Hi! i wanna thank everyone who wrote me, i just returned from doha, what an experience! i had so much fun there. the prices were high for the cameras, but in my last day i brought a canon g10.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Well photographer, the prices were mentioned in the earlier posts, now you make up your mind as to if you want to get it from outside or from here.

Hi! i need a camera like that because im a photojournalist, and im working for a newspaper. im covering a lot of events, and i need a "top of the line" camera.

And no, im not yet in Qatar, im be there soon, thats why im asking for help, i wanted to buy a new camera there, specifically a Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only).

Even when i know everyone says its more expensive there, any help is welcome!

www.ebay.com

What do you need a camera like that for? You don't specify which model, there are several "Mark II" Canons and two "Mark III"s. I don't know why everybody assumes you mean the IDs MkIII and the 5D MkII. Are you sure a 40D wouldnt meet your needs? Which lenses are you planning to use with it?

Hi photographer. Yes the 5D MK II is 13,000 Riyals body only. I priced it myself a few weeks ago. I don't know about the MK III, but I imagine around 20,000. By the way, are you in Qatar?

Prices for 5D2 (pro camera) - see my post higher up the page ... 50% more than the rest of the world! I'd imagine the 1D will be the same ratio.

Part was a new focus screen. The previous one got scratched by my blower trying to get dust off it. It is REALLY soft plastic :O(

Cost QR120 fitted. Cost in Singapore was QR100 ... but out of stock!

Hi! Unknown Raver, can you find out how much exactly cost a CANON mark II and a Mark III there in Salam Plaza. i know they are no cheap models, i know that, but if you can find out the price, i think everyone (and of course myself) is gonna be happy! can you do that for all of us writting in this topic??

Can you give us more details. What was the part? How much was it before and how much is it now ?

BTW, I went there yesterday for a small part (which was cheap!). The salesman told me that all the prices have increased 30%!!!!!!

Hi again. Unfortunately Salam Plaza is the only outlet in Qatar offering these pro model digital SLR's and for that reason, yes their prices are high if you compare with overeseas countries. The model you want is a top pro model and it is expensive regardless where you get it. Depends on what qualifies as a "good price" for you.

Hi! the problem -from my point of view- is not getting one of those models there in doha, the thing is getting one in a good price. it seems to me that the prices for those models are very high there, thats why im saying im going there with very low expectations.

Hi. Nice to hear from you. May I Ask are your expectations low regarding the camera models themselves or the possibility of getting one from Doha.

Hi guys! thanks for writting. well, somebody told me that i could get a mark 2 or 3 in a good price there in doha, buy i wasnt sure. now, reading your comments, and some stuffs in the web, i think its not such a good idea, its better to buy the mark 2/3 camera somewhere else, everyone says its too expensive there.

but i will keep an eye open in my visit to doha, but fater all the comments ive been reading, my expectations are very low man!

Photpgrapher 2009, who started this thread, has not responded to any of the above comments. maybe he decided not to buy altogether.

Buy it elsewhere!

Only Salam have them ... 5D2 is QR13000 in Salam or QR9000 in USA/Malaysia/Singapore/UK, etc....

canon 28-135 mm

canon 100mm usm macro and

sony H9

If he is going to spend around 32k, perhaps he is better off getting the new Nikon D3x. It is in many respects more advanced (the canon has been out for a while) in terms of technology moving forward quickly. The only limitation is its high ISO performance, perhaps limited and not as good as the D3.

By the way, what cameras are you guys using ? and lenses ? and ......

if you are a serious buyer i can get it for you.

right now 'm in virginia, states.

I asked them the price of 1ds mark iii before.. i cost around 32k whereas in ebay or somewhere else, it only cost u around 25-36k..

Hi there

Salam Plaza will be the only one having these. You will need to go to the branch opposite city center. They stock all Nikon and Canon Pro cameras as well as lenses and accessories. They even have the new EOS 5D MK II !!!!!

Good Luck
