Guys! 5D MK2 with kit lens is now $2800 everywhere.

Something might come out tmr??

Hmm .. 5DmkII body only @ $2000 .. I hate being tempted.

my buddy pointed out that @ $2k at vistek & henry's etc, the 5d2 is $500 cheaper than at B&H Photo or adorama.

how often does that happen?

If that's the case, expect an announcement on October 30 :lol: although it will most likely be a couple of weeks after that.

there's also this:

if the rumours about a cheaper FF camera more dedicated to ISO than video are true, I can see myself being interested in an upgrade but with a mk3 surely coming in at $3500+, my mk2 will do me just fine for the forseeable future.

Oh man, can't wait for the new printers to be announced!

Returned my 5d Mk2 on the last day. I am excited to see what the Mk3 could be

It can't be long though, right?

Like Admiral Ackbar said, "IT'S A TRAP!!" LOL!

Surfing around POTN, it looks like a good handful of Americans are ordering 5DII bodies from Henry's up here since our price is a few hundred less than the current US price.

Heck, it almost makes me want to pull the trigger on one. But I think I'd settle for a 5Dc for now...... (hint hint, WTB!!!!)

Same on CanonRumors - some people were asking if Henry's was a reputable seller in Canada - one guy was charged 2013 USD from Henry's for a 5D2 body - I guess the taxes are dealt with by US customs.

Funny how the tables turn... I have never seen Americans flocking north of the border to purchase camera gear.

Wouldn't it be better if "we" were the ones going down south to buy gear since our dollar value is higher plus some of the states have lower sales tax?

Have you seen the value of our dollar lately?

Back when $1.00USD = $1.60CAD (2002-ish), people from the US were buying new cars in Canada! Even with our higher retail prices it was cheaper for them with the 60% spread on the dollar versus a 20-30% markup.

I've been out of the loop on the Cdn dollar... I just looked. My bad.

end up jumping to the 5d2... picked it up from FS since the one around my home have it in stock...

I think its a good time to buy now.

I'll be selling mine (bought at May 2010) shortly for less than $2K.

btw the rebate ends on Oct 29th

The 5D3 shall be mine

Actually, I only have the 40D now. Does anyone think it's a good idea to trade that in for the 7D until the 5D3 gets released and has settled in price? I already have the 7D battery grip (long story), and am debating whether to sell or keep.

For the 5D3, I can wait. Yes I can!

The 7D is a great rig but so is the 40D. One of the best photographers on this forum, IMHO, shoots with a 30D and has exceptional images. I have a 40D and have been tempted by the recent 5D2 price drops but am personally holding out for the 5D3.

I'm waiting for a 5DMk4.

Before the 7d came out, there were some rumors about a 3d (or something in between a 1d and a 5d). Is there anything like that this time?

There is talk of them splitting the line into a lower end FF body - possibly a 3D or 6D and monetizing the 5D3's video capabilities. It is all speculation at this point.
