elek_ludvigh Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi All, I have done a reasonably thorough search but can not find any info on when I might actually be able to buy one. There are several stores that are willing to let me pay now and be shipped one "as soon as they arrive", but is there any solid knowledge as to whether this will be a couple of weeks or perhaps over two months? Thanks! Jay L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Eckstein Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Release date is some time in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nobody can say for until they are actually offloaded from the ship and the trucks arrive at the distributors. As far as I know there are none in the US right now (well, maybe one or two "pre-production" samples). Sometime in October is the closest anyone can say.

PuppyDigs Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've seen 10/15 as projected US arrival date. Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'll bet even Canon USA don't know for sure yet. Any specific date is just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shebajorose Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Local dealer said "mid-October" ... same as Puppy Face's info.... so maybe. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamingstudio Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Couple of places in Switzerland listing Body and Kits... with ahem 14 days delivery. Kits include Body + EF-S17-85 IS (with and without) EF70-300 IS; Body + EF-S18-200 IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton-chris Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Places want you to pay now? Hmmm - Canadian places I've checked only want credit card info now and will charge it on delivery. Or, my local shop just took my order and I'll pay when I pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbp Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Same answer from two Canon pro shops in Italy. Mid October - but you're welcome to leave a deposit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
