      I am just in the market for a high-end enthusiast compact…was thinking about the upcoming Fujifilm X10, but if this deal is really on for the G12, then the price (at $349.50) may be too good to refuse…I'm willing to split it with anyone living in Perth…

          It does appear from their website that the G12 doesn't qualify for the deal, it doesn't have a red-dot bonus sticker…damnit…was almost too good to be true…

        Sorry mate, went to Warwick store at 9am this morning, they only had 1 XZ-1 in stock which was the display model, gave Joondalup a quick buzz in the hope of finding a non-display model but they only had 2 in stock, 1 black 1 white, both on display. Ended up taking the display one at Warwick along with a Canon S95.

  • KLoNe on 27/10/2011 - 01:58

    Dont forget about the Fuji HX20. I bought one recently from Uncle Jerry and absolutely LOVE it. Feels and looks very SLR-like. Its built solid. Just took it on a round the world trip, and very impressed with the photos it took, and im only an amateur at best.
    Make sure you take a look. In my opinion, a brilliant camera for the money. Will qualify for this offer as its not a true SLR.

    Maybe I am wrong but is it really Buy one get one free or buy one at a really high price and get two and when you halve the cost to find the price of one you save maybe 30 bucks if you could buy one but end up with two cameras?

      1st listing on shopbot - grey market camera with no Australian warranty, $267 including $50 delivery and 2% paypal fee.

      2nd - $325 inc $99 delivery fee.
      3rd - another grey market from HK. etc etc

      Cheapest Aus stock I could find is $290 inc delivery.

      So HN works out to $196 ea, with local warranty. Now, if you can find Aus stock with Aus warranty for cheaper than that, including all the hidden delivery fees, cc fees etc, I suggest you buy it.

    • maf101 on 27/10/2011 - 08:07
      +2

      $204 + 47.50 (shipping) = $251.5 for an imported model without a manufacture warranty. They often require an Australian power plug adapter and the instructions are not the original.

      The Australia version will make a better Christmas gift.

      Edit: Beaten to it. I second what Chris said. The cheapest Aussie stock I've found is $348

    HN has updated their website since last night. Most P & S cameras now have a "bonus" label (some don't, like the Canon G12 - which should be included in the sale).

    Still no specific info about the deal though.

    • Chris McMahon on 27/10/2011 - 09:13
      +1

      I think so. Read the review I posted earlier. The Nikon S9100 is a good 2nd choice for the same money, and you probably won't miss the Canon's extra manual controls over the nikon.

      The Canon has better photo quality than the Sony HX9V, which is $100 more expensive. The Sony is a better choice if video is more important than photo quality for you. But the Canon's video is still pretty good.

      IIRC, all three have GPS for geotagging.

          The Canon for sure. The Sony uses way too much noise reduction at high ISO, it makes fine detail "soft".

        Hi,

        Did you get anyone? I am interested about Sony DSC-HX9V.

        • astroe on 27/10/2011 - 14:55

          Yeah, I'd be interested in the Sony HX9V too if anyone had it.

      • bargainjargon on 27/10/2011 - 15:52
        +3

        Can't comment on the FT3 since I've never used one but I just bought the XZ-1 and HX9V (although I've been using my parents' HX9V for about a week).

        Between the HX9V and the XZ-1, probably go for the XZ-1 if image quality (and being able to shoot in RAW) is really important to you. 16 megapixels on the HX9V seems too much (pics don't look too great when viewed at 100%) although when you resize it to about 10mp (same as the XZ-1) then the pics look pretty good when viewed at 100%. The XZ-1 offers more manual controls too and it has a brighter lens which is an advantage in low light situations. You'd also be able to play with depth of field more with the XZ-1 although it's not exactly impossible with the HX9V.

        As for the HX9V, the focal length range is damn good (24-384mm) compared to the XZ-1 (28-112mm). It can go a little wider and a LOT longer than the XZ-1 so I'm guessing you'd be able to capture more scenes with it and I think it'd be great as a travel camera. It has a lot of other features that I haven't mentioned that make shooting fun (auto HDR, panorama sweeep something, others that I'm forgetting). I like how it does a lot of the thinking for you and strangely enough, that's coming from a guy that likes his manual controls. Sometimes I like it when the camera does all the work for me and I can just relax.

        And if videos are of some importance to you then it's no contest, the HX9V is quite possibly the best compact camera for videos whereas the XZ-1 isn't all that great. The HX9V is able to record 60 frames per second in 1080p and in terms of video quality, it even beats out some DSLRs that are worth more. The fact that a camera like that can be had for $250 is ridonkulous. Check out Youtube or Vimeo for some sample videos, they look great. Over at Cinema5D.com, Johnnie Behiri who is a freelance cameraman and editor who does work for the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, referred to the HX9V as almost the ultimate run and gun camera.

        http://www.cinema5d.com/news/?p=7468

        They're both nice cameras to own, it just depends on your priorities. I'd say that image quality is better overall with the XZ-1 and it'll be a better performer in low light scenes (like going out to dinner or something similar). But the HX9V holds its own in terms of image quality and it has a ton of other things going for it. For me at least, it seems like a much more fun camera to use between the two.

    Can anyone think of a reason why the Canon G12 doesn't qualify for the sale, other than the fact that HN are being bastards about it? Seems to me like it's the only P&S (albeit a high -end one) that doesn't have a red-dot bonus…

    • crzy01 on 27/10/2011 - 09:42

      Probably … i suspect it's popular enough that HN can move stock without having to put it on sale?
      As much as I (and everyone else on OzB :P) hate it, the retailers are in this to maximise their bottom line and not give me a bargain (it would be nice if DSLRs were included though)

She asked the sales person if she still got the free items and he said "no, this promotion ended yesterday" and pulled down the sign right in front of her. She complained to the manager the next day and the manager said that wasn't right and gave her the free stuff.

      Wiley Park HN is the dodgiest HN that I've seen in Sydney. Last time for the Toshiba laptop sale, they were marking prices at about 20% higher than all the other HNs I went to, plus giving bad advice to customers left right and centre (ie making them buy lots and lots of add ons). Avoid like the plague.

          weird… it doesn't appear in the Panasonic section :S

          and there's no Canon S95 :(

          but the Canon Ixus 310 HS is pretty good too
