Pricewatch Deals / Re: Canon Rebel T4i in Stock at B&H, Norman Camera & Samy's Camera

« on: June 18, 2012, 11:57:42 AM »

Looks like Buydig has the 18-135mm kit in stock (at least from their website).

Yes, I saw that Buydig (aka Beach Camera) shows the kit T4i/18-135 kit in stock.
I put in my order on the website.

Now, when I look at my order on their website under "My Account" it shows my order is "processing". But, it shows the standard non-STM version of the lens. I called and talked to a salesman this morning and said I want the STM version and not the standard one. He wasn't sure so he's going to talk to their Canon Rep and get an answer for me and call me back. So, I guess he put my order on hold.

I'll post back here when I hear back.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Specs [CR2.5]

I have a dilemma.
I own the original 300D Rebel and would like to upgrade before my big Hawaii trip come July 10th.
Been thinking about getting a T3i but I'd really hate to buy last year's model if the T4i is coming out in the next couple of weeks.

I know it's going to cost me significantly more to get a T4i as they won't be discounted at all right at first.
I can get a new T3i body for right about $490 with that $400 off combo rebate deal they have with a printer (I'd sell the printer on eBay) and I figure a T4i body only is probably going to be around $750.
I' still go for a T4i if I have time but I wish I knew if it were going be in time right now.

If the t4i is announced in June, how long will it take for the body to become available in stores in the US?

I'd doubt you would have one in your hands by June 11th, unless they announced it June 1st or sooner. With the rebel line, they are usually available within the month of its announcement (unlike say, the 1DX), but, Canon's production may be slow enough that that is not true this time. They might also have held off the announcement until they had enough stock to meet initial demand.

How about by July 9th? What would be your take on that? I'm going to Hawaii on the 10th. I wouldn't mind upgrading since I still have the original 300D Rebel.
