“Hello , my name is Dan W:

Thank you for contacting the B&H E-Mail Sales Department.

It is a housing for the old old old D60, Canon’s 2nd DSLR camera. It is not for the replacement of the 50D (which will probably be called 60D but we do not have any beans to spill about it). Nor do we have a cat to let out of the bag.

In most cases when Canon announces a new camera, it is leaked on DP Review before stores are told anything.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Thank you, we appreciate your business.

This is completely incorrect and has been discussed TO DEATH in several forums including dpreview, fredmiranda and POTN. Several legit retailers were obliged by market conditions to raise prices on several Canon lenses some of which are included in the current rebate promo and some of which are not. Recently several additional retailers have also raised prices on the same group of lenses.

The suggestion B&H did something ethically questionable is ludicrous and contemptible.

The first two letters are from the product’s brand, Nimar in this case. I’ve asked the web guys to check what camera this is designed for.

I’m calling BS on this. Canon raised their lens prices, which meant that B&H, Adorama, and Amazon all had to raise their prices at some point.

I checked today; B&H and Adorama both have the *exact* same prices for all of the instant rebate lenses (they even have the same lenses in stock, both are only out of stock on the 50mm f/1.2 USM).

And lately Amazon has been the *worst*, they have been out of stock on most of the lenses with rebates and many others as well. They don’t even bother to list themselves as sellers right now for some fairly common lenses (100mm macro and neither of the 70-200mm f/4 lenses), and on other lenses where the the primary “Buy now” links are for their “advertising affiliates”, those prices are *significantly* higher than B&H and Adorama. If you didn’t know what the going rate was, it wouldn’t be hard to overpay for glass at Amazon. (Just for sh!ts and grins, look up the Amazon affiliates’ ticket-scalper pricing on the 5DMkII from DBROTH and Pavilion: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II/dp/B001G5ZTLS)

I use Amazon for lots of stuff, but I’d have to think twice about buying glass from them between them being perpetually “out of stock”, their week-long delay “black hole” for their free super-saver shipping, and the rip-off pricing of their “trusted” affiliates.

That’s when I take my SLR and push the button and it instantly takes a shot. Their megapixels mean nothing when it takes a moment for the autofocus to work and they miss the shot. :)

If I would have it my way I would of reduced the MP to 12, increase the FPS to 8 and put a better weather seal on it.

I think it is common for typos like this to happen.

So guies, I simply called B&H customer service and they confirmed it is a tipo mistake.

Sorry…

PS: I think there is a slight difference between rumors and false/non verified info. A rumor can hardly be verified. But in this specific case, a simple call would have solved the question… To me, it is not a rumor but an artificial buzz to generate traffic on the site. Come on CanonRumors… we deserve better !

Because nobody else in the world has such great Policarbonato.
