zafar1 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It is the 20th of November, and still no sign of thee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frameofmindphotography Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Preachin' to the choir.... I pre-ordered mine from my local dealer. That wait is KILLING me! WHERE IS IT?!?!? Frankly I'm surprised there isn't more talk on photo.net about this. I have been stalking the net for any drop if info about a release date. Hopefully by the end of next week!

pjmeade Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've just had an email from Canon Professional Services pointing to a demo day on 3rd December (in the UK), so it can't be too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakim_peled1 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Don't know. Don't care. Never will I be an early adopter. Happy shooting, Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The so-called 5D MkII use to be the talk of the town just a few months ago ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durr3 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 My local Canon dealer told me that they are expecting the 5D II to arrive by month's end. They will ship the body only first and then the kits later. This is odd, since they usually ship the kits first. Oh well, FWIW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy shooting, Yakim.............. -sometimes early adoptors are early disappointees. besides, I can't afford one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_m19 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It would be nice to have them available before the holidays! (C'mon Santa...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenPapai Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 "Don't know. Don't care. Never will I be an early adopter." Why is that the best answer? How is that helpful? (it's not and it's not). But agreed... two months waiting now, early on it was shipping in October then rapidly changed to Nov. 15 or so. Sounds like 1st week of December now. No one here knows.

hudef Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The wait has been painful for Canadians as our dollar has paradoxically dropped a lot over the last 6 weeks. So it will cost us more: Hello Price increase affecting Canon 5D MKII preorders. Due to a 15% depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar Canon Canada has increased the retail cost of several cameras and lenses. The EOS 5D MKII body price goes up to $3099.99 and the EOS 5D MKII with 24-105mm L lens rises to $3949.99. This price increase will affect all current preorders for this product. All Canadian authorized dealers will be reflecting the new price. Your place in line is not affected by this change. Your credit card online billing statement may still reflect the pre-authorization we did against your card at the time your order was placed – please note this was not the charge and will not be the final price. If you have any questions regarding your e-commerce order please call me at 1 416 868 0872 x 2480. Thank you, Conrad Barrington, assistant manager, Henry’s Cameras E-commerce From Canon: Canon 5D mark II price change A number of factors have changed since the early tentative price announcement back in September 2008. Due to the very volatile economic situation and the resulting exchange rate shifts in the Canadian and US dollar, we have had to adjust the pricing of the 5DMK 2. We thank you for your understanding. * Conrad Barrington * Henry's Commercial Department * www.henrys.com * 416 868 0874 x 2480 * fax 416 868 4951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reza motaghedi Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I would rather to wait until February (after christmas) that prices drop. I guess a 5D or 50D would be slightly cheaper then than now. I agree with one of the postigs here. I dont want to be early adopter. After a few months there would be mroe reviews about functions and flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty_castilla1 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 It will be on it way November 29th both body and kit! Canon announced the release date, http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://cweb.canon.jp/camera/eosd/5dmk2/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25E3%2583%25AC%25E3%2583%25B3%25E3%2582%25BA%25E3%2582%25AD%25E3%2583%2583%25E3%2583%2588%2B11%25E6%259C%258829%25E6%2597%25A5%25E7%2599%25BA%25E5%25A3%25B2%25E4%25BA%2588%25E5%25AE%259A%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DZPl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.elliott Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Too late for me anyway - spend my cash on lenses instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_glucksman1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I just got mine...but then again, I live in China and they seem to take a dim view of the Japanese telling them they cannot sell something until Nov 29. And they also seem to think nothing of selling the kit version of the camera with the lens removed (which is what I ended up getting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quenched Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 did you have to pay US dollars James? If not what was the US equivalent? Cheers S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
