fenykepesz Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share #102 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) ça commence ! looks familiar, mmmh ? from Amazon : "The processing and transmittal of your order to the seller was delayed and your delivery estimate has changed." i hope i can interpret this as a good omen.....

B&H in NY is an excellent store i always made good experience with, but i don't have (yet) the 8 grands... perhaps i should wait a bit, save more and then go with B&H ? or risk the amazonian (global) route ? Open box or demo might be a consideration. That shaves considerable $ off the cost and it is still coming with full warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenykepesz Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share #108 Posted July 17, 2019 so, my new M10D was finally given into my hands, and it's evidently a fantastic beast which totally reminds me of the good old times when working with film. moreover, i am pleasantly surprised with what ease my 'eye' still seems to remember the ISO/speed/aperture settings for a given light scenario. not that one couldn't use the M10D's light meter - i just like to play with the buttons and set them before taking the picture. in any case, many thanks to everybody here encouraging and pushing me with much chuzpah to make the deal with that big company (see earlier posts in this thread). and now comes the difficult part which is taking picture of some value, general value, artistic value...

egrossman Posted September 27, 2019 Share #116 Posted September 27, 2019 I also recently purchased the M10-D from 6th Avenue Electronics. At $6,991 (no sales tax), the price was higher than the original poster of this thread; however, the Amazon Prime credit card gives a 5% rebate on all Amazon purchases, which brought the final price more or less in line. The camera arrived promptly, but 6th Ave packaging leaves a lot to be desired: inside the package was the camera box with one “air pillow” for padding. .
