Speaking of price wars, Nikon just launched an aggressive price rebate on its DSLR. Will Canon sneak in any more rebates before the holidays to make their products more tempting?

Why don’t you have a buying guide like macrumors and nikonrumors? They basically tell you to avoid buying a camera that’s about to be updated.

Fortunately, I believe that Circuit city did not accept pre-orders for the 5D II.

Apparently, they owed Nikon lots of money. Circuit city and Best Buy had some pretty good price wars on cameras, this will certainly reduce the competition.

@ Ed

Exact-a-mundo. Their automated online order system cancels orders that can’t be shipped in a certain time frame.

I called Helix directly. Chuck was very helpful and reinstated my order (kept me at #30). Though he seemed a little flustered about Canon not having product ready for consumers. I can’t imagine running a photo/video store this season.

Bebobcola;

Contact them and tell them you are willing to wait and want to keep your place in line. US mail order laws require a seller to ask buyers for a confirmation of a order if it is not shipped in 30 days, so it may have something to do with that. Different businesses may implement the law differently.

I just ran into this on a delayed order from Dell.

Sweet. But I just got some bad news today regarding my 5DmkII order. Read below:

“We have canceled your order as this item is out of stock.
The (credit card) account was not debited. Thank you for the
interest. We apologize for the inconvenience.

What the heck does this mean?!?!

Hey, good news. I wish you the best of luck with the site and I look forward to it’s development.

I know how you feel about forums, but is there any chance a basic one could pop up here in future? Perhaps a CR forum / news widget?

Cheers, Rod

Interesting, I couldn’t find that kind of help on the WordPress forums. I still have no idea how to implement that though. :)
