Hello all!

Has anyone bought gear from SLR Hut before? Prices look really good... They have the 5D Mkii body for £1130, which is definitely the cheapest I've ever seen, though it could be because there's only a year warranty. I'm desperate to upgrade bodies, but trying to wait until the 5D Mkiii comes out in the hope I might get an even better deal on the Mkii, as I suspect the Mkiii will be over my budget. I still want a new one though, so not sure how much more it'll go down?

Sorry for somewhat waffly post! Any advice on the matter welcome :)

I'd be a little cautious as at that price the 5D Mark II will almost certainly be a grey import. How much that affects your decision depends on how much you trust their warranty terms as if it is grey, then Canon UK will almost certainly not honour it.

Of course, you may never need to worry about such things and you will then be quids in.
 
Ooh, thank you both! Sorry, should have done a bit of a search to see if the question had been asked before... :)

Think I'd rather be safe than sorry!
 
I don't mind getting grey imports as such but I really don't want to have to pay VAT or import duty on top. Have done quite a bit of searching and even contacted a friend who lives nearby and he's been to find the shop! Err, that's a no then. They are a mailbox brokers apparently. Think it's another one to miss. Thanks for your input though, it definately made my mind up.
