Shopper conversation with Courtney B on July 21, 2016

Courtney B
Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Canon 6d?
Did you have questions about this camera today?
Yes, the Canon EOS-6D Digital SLR Camera Body " Open Box " is in perfect condition right?
no dents or scratches or anything
$1,269.00
Courtney B
Correct. But the box might have some damage
I dont mind
Courtney B
Ok! :-)
It also comes with the full 1 year Canon USA warranty
And you can return it within 30 days if you're unhappy for any reason
Do you have any lense you recomend that cover everything jejeje
how much more is with the lense?
Courtney B
What types of things do you need it to work with?
weddings
Courtney B
Do you need something that goes up to 300mm?
outdoor
Courtney B
Ok
yes
Courtney B
Ok!
Let me bring up the lens that does that
the ones that comes with the camera is the 24-100 something right?
Courtney B

Courtney B
Yes, this is Canon's 28-300mm lens
my budget is $1900
Courtney B
Ok!
For the camera and lens? Or just the lens alone?
everything
Courtney B
Ok, then I'd recommend the kit lens

Courtney B
Yes, that's another option
how much do you have it for?
Courtney B
The 70-300mm lens is $449
How much you have the Canon EOS 6D DSLR Camera with 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 STM Lens
Courtney B
Let me see
The cheapest that we have is open box for $1679
full warranty everthing is the same right?
Courtney B
Correct! :-)
Same warranty, same original accessories
And you have 30 days to return it if you're unhappy
Ok, let me think about it, because brand new is $1899 in B&H
I'll get back to you
Courtney B
Ok! That would be for the lower quality 24-105mm lens
We have that same deal at Adorama
The deal that I brought up was for the higher quality 24-105 f/4 lens, which is normally $2099 brand new
The lower priced one for $1899 is an f/3.5-5.6 lens
yes
Courtney B
Ok
and what is your deal?
Courtney B
The open box deal is the higher quality lens for $1679
sorry but what lens?
the 70-300?
Courtney B
We do also have the 70-300mm lens as well
For $449
thanks
Courtney B
You're welcome!
dont you think the 24-100 covers more?
Courtney B
Well, it just covers a different focal length
It's wide angle to standard zoom
The 70-300mm is telephoto
thanks again
for weddings
should I get the 24-105 better?
Courtney B
Yes, it's going to be more versatile for weddings
ok
Courtney B
It's a good lens!
thanks bye
Courtney B
Bye!
