I would say that your information is relatively disturbing :(  Having said that, I still find it difficult to believe that these lenses won't show up for another 3 months.  The rumor about dollar devaluation being one of the factors causing delay in delivery really doesn't make much sense.  They could jack up the price another 10% and I seriously doubt that one in ten who have either ordered this lens, put down a deposit, or have intentions of getting one would change their mind.  But I guess no one really knows when they will show up but I would think that the market here in the U.S. is superior to any in Europe or places like India!

Getting back to the genesis of this post, is anyone out there actually getting their 600's that they have ordered delivered?  Any insight as to why Canon is taking so long to get this lens to their customers.  I have had mine ordered for some time now and am still waiting to get my hands on it...thanks for your replies!
You noted that you have had  yours ordered "for some time now" - how long?  I have been waiting 2 and 1/2 months now and still no indication from either my dealer of Canon Canada when it is likely to arrive.  Greatland, where are you and who did you order it from, not that it is the dealer's fault, but it is still his "problem".  My new tripod and gimbal head should arrive in the next couple of days and I would really like to have my 600 II to test it out - obviously not yet  >:(.

I am located in California but mine is ordered from an East Coast company.  I am not being told exactly when I will see mine but I ordered my 1Dx from the same people and I got mine well in advance of when most people got theirs.  I am optimistic that I will have mine before Christmas and hopefully before Thanksgiving but I have no guarantees.  I suspect that Canon ships in spurts so hopefully when a large shipment comes over I will get my hands on mine.  I sold my 500 so really need this lens before I am off to the Serengeti in February.....would hate to have to rent one....

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 1dx, or d800e?

To put the 5dMKIII and the 7d in the same category as the 1Dx is pathetic....there is no comparison between the 7d and 1Dx for action shooting, and the 5d MkIII is still not near the camera as the 1Dx in those areas where it's strengths are.....if you have the money, what in the world are you waiting for?  I had a 7d---in comparison it is garbage.  I have a MK IV, great camera, but doesn't come close to measuring up with the 1Dx....

I would be a happy camper if they could just start delivering the new 600 that has been out for awhile....I have had mine on order for awhile now and not really able to get much information on why they are taking so long to get them in circulation.
