| DEE,Does those prices include a 18-55mm lense? Have looked at dutyfree Aussie prices and the Canon 20D cost's $2452.00 and the currency converted chinese price is approx $2,066.66 to $2,133.33 from Beijing. Another question is can they supply the camera with english words for the menu etc or only in chinese? Thanks Don Mac. |

| Hi, Don The price does not include the lens, a 18-55mm lens will charge CNY 800 extras. Do not worry about the menu, coz it will be in didferent translation including Chinese, English, French,Janpanese,etc. Hope the message is useful! |

| Hello Dee, Can you provide the addresses of those sites if they are in english. If not, could you get prices for a cannon powershot pro 1? Thanks |

| HI! The sites are all in chinese ,so i could inly check the price for you. In Beijing, the quotation of Canon Pro1 is around RMB6000, some shops quote at 5800 while some quote at 6600. If you'll buy the cemera at a digital product market, remember to shop around and negotiate price with the the seller. Good luck! |
