Denmark is a small market where it's very hard to put presure on a reseller to lower pricing. - That's not only on computer stuff, but also on digital cameras and accessories. Just a small example... I have a Canon EOS 5D Mk II and was looking for a prime zoom lens ala EF 24-70mm/f:2.8L II USM or similar. You can find this new ver. on eBay.de for less than €1300EUR, apprx. $1780USd- Price in Denmark is 14.999Dkr. = $2708USd. And if you can use a used in 'mint condition' instead, you can get it as low as apprx. €950EUR on eBay.de. I found a review on DPReview with a comparison with another of those I had in mind - a Tamron SP A009 28-75mm/f:2,8 Di LD. There was a series of +2x10 pictures which I carefully studied and decided to choose the one giving the best pictures no matter the price. I chose without reading the review first, and to my surprise it was the Tamron 28-75mm I've chosen! - Normal Danish stock price was 7995Dkr. = $1443USd, and I can add that I'm not the slightest disappointed with the choice... The review had only one 'minus' about the Tamron - it is without picture stabilization... I asked one of my friends who buys and sells a lot of camera equipment on the net to find a good one in minimum 'excellent condition'. He found a boxed one in the UK for me to a price of $439USd = 2431Dkr. incl. shipping. This lens is and looks as if it never has been out of the store - i.e. it is totally like new... - The same he did for me with a Sigma 17-35mm/f:2,8-4,0 EX-DG HSM, the top model of their wide angle lenses. - Boxed 'like new' 2500Dkr. ($451USd) on eBay in the UK. Normal stock price in Denmark is 8995Dkr. / $1624USd. New price in the UK are apprx. $975-1100USd depending on the store... And here we're again back to why I also might have a minor need though for Win7. - I have an app on the Canon CD which allows me to directly record HD video to disk in Win7 - no Mac version of this app available...
