I'm paying 5000 for the photo and video top package they had for 2003. They raised it by 700 for 2004.


Here is the link for the thread by Nora

Official Duet Thread by Nora Here is what I have :


These are the photo/video details for the packages so call and/or meet with them to discuss further prices and specific items. What I loved was that they were updated and prepared for new things coming out. Alot of places said in 5 months or so they would have a DVD burner, they might have more things ' in - house ' , etc. I just don't want photo and video vendors haggling over prices and what they promised each other and me.

*******
My fiancee bought me the Canon G5 for my bday and xmas. We are both into and have experience in alot of the most current technology so we understood alot of the terms BUT ALWAYS ask if you don't understand . Sometimes an example being shown more than once helps.

( Eric said we could have the Unedited on DVD )



******
So as of our visit these were the options in each package. If something is not listed in the next packages but you wanted it *****


Such as the Photo Montage , Ask and you'll see how flexible they are. You might be able to take something out and add it in for example .

You get about 1 1/2 hrs for optimum quality on the DVD , for those of us who will actually notice the difference of 15 minutes.



REMEMBER


These are ONLY the Video portion of the Combo Packages for 2003.

Ask about Promotions

Get specific descriptions and don't stop till you fully understand what each option includes or doesn't include.

Meeting them is one sure way to know what each feature looks like as far as effects go in the video, AND photo.

I loved the infrared pics and casual day pics.

We are going with the Diamond Plus for now, but for Video and Photo.

Please notify me and everyone else it things changes, as I will certainly do the same.

Best wishes to everyone,


Thomas

I believe that Duet has basic packages just for photo that are pretty reasonable. The ones posted here are for photo and video.. Go meet with them, I hear they can accomodate anyones budget.. I haven't set an appointment yet, because FH has been working nonstop!!

Re: Price range for Duet?

Unicorn,

You can go by yourself or with a friend like my fiancee did and see you comfortable you are with them. I went only after my fiancee went to several vendors. When I did go we went to the top 3 she liked. My mind was pretty much made up once I saw the work. I loved the Metal Fusion Album, which is one of the newer ones they have. I did keep an open mind about the others but one of them made me feel uncomfortable with his approach to get the pics I wanted. It was very important to me that everything was ' in house ' , no 3rd party vendors to deal with. I don't want them playing games to get more money out of me. Alot of ' extras or options cost alot of money. These options we wanted in the video and with the photographs were ALL INCLUDED.


If you have any questions feel free to email or FM me. My AIM is the same name so add me so you can see if I'm on.


Best Wishes to everyone ,


Thomas

We are using duet, not sure of everything in our package but w/ tax it came to about 4800. we added 800 to the package because we wanted the 12x12 coffee table style book!!! They seem to be worth every penny so far!!! and still much lower than any other quotes!
