5D Mark II Preorder Pricing – CANADA

October 31st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Canon 5D Mark II

You should be ok
I’m told by a couple of readers that Henry’s is saying there will probably be a price increase on the 5D2. However, current preorders should be safe from the price increase.

I’ll keep inquiring about this.

5D Mark II Price Increase in Canada?

October 30th, 2008 | 50 Comments | Posted in Other News

From a reader

The reader was told there was a Canadian price increase coming on the
5D2.

This would mean all Canadian preorders would end up costing more.

I’ll try to find more info.

It’s done
DPR has completed their review of the 50D (No, I haven’t finished mine.). I agree with some of their negatives and I’ll even be adding a few (teaser!).

Adorama 5D2 Update

October 28th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Canon 5D Mark II

A comment from Adorama (in the comments of the previous post)

I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience that may have been caused.
At Adorama we were initially informed – by Canon – that delivery was expected 27th October, and based our subsequent information to customers on this.

I am unable to comment upon what information was given to other retailers at any point during the past months.

However, as you are all now aware, Canon revised these estimates.

Sincerely

Good people at Adorama.

5D Mark II Availability – Adorama Again

October 28th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Canon 5D Mark II

Gotta love floating release dates
This was submitted by one of the readers here that has kept me apprised of Adorama’s 5D2 stock.

“Looks like they were foolish enough to let people know that their ETA was end of October.  Passed couple of calls have all been quickly answered that it has now been moved to end of November.  Didn’t have my fingers crossed too much”

Bummer

50D Firmware Update

October 28th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Canon 50D

Err 99
This firmware update (Version 1.0.3) incorporates the following fixes.

  1. Corrects a phenomenon in which an image becomes overexposed when C.Fn.II-3 Highlight tone priority is set to “1″ together with other camera settings. (This correction has already been incorporated in the Version 1.0.2 and later firmware.
  2. Corrects a rare phenomenon in which “busy” blinks on the camera’s display panel and the shutter cannot be released due to the timing of battery installation.
  3. Corrects a rare phenomenon in which “Err 99″ appears on the camera’s display panel and LCD monitor and the shutter cannot be released due to the timing of pressing the shutter button.

Site Outage
It was my fault, I was cleaning the web server up and deleted the most important folder on it… i.e. this site. I then proceeded to go to bed.

Some days you shouldn’t touch a computer.
