Canon General / Re: Canon's Supply Chain Back to Normal by end of June?

and i expect prices wil keep going up anyway just because people are stupid enough to buy it anyway

And what other choice do we have - not to buy them and complain about prices?
Some people have to buy lenses for work and don't have a choice either.

p.s. Everything is going up. Gasoline and gold is at all time high, yet people don't stop buying.  Are they stupid, too?

if all people hat dont NEED it to work dont buy it it becomes cheaper soonas shops and caonon will suffer from no sales at all.
buying something to expencive justifies the price screwing a lot of people just because someone has to much money.

I wish it would get a metal mount again.. but that would be awkward seing as how they went from Mk I metal -> Mk II plastic ..

il probably get a version of a 50mm between now and 12 months (no rush, no  money in the bank), so im glad to see this rumour. hopefully its true and  brings something nice. Presumably the 100$ 50 should stay 100$ though..

they can verry well keep producing this lens and make a usm version alongside it

I cannot envisage a huge price increase on any of the new 50mm lenses.  Largely Canon are cheaper than Nikon and the Nikon 1.4 is not much more than the Canon how would Canon justify a massively expensive  version to it's customers?  I expect a lens with a broadly similar price.

seeing the past 7 lenses that canon gave a upgrade thats not how things seem to go sadly
all where alot more expencive or almost double the price of the old version.
somehow canon is either way to confident/cocky or people are still stupid enough to buy silly expencive gear wich automaticly justifies the rediculous prices...

im afraid the last is a big part of the problem!

as for the 500 1.8 if it has USM and same or better IQ even i am crazy enough to pay 220 bucks for it and im a real nitpicker on prices.

as adition to me other post i think canopn would be doing themselves a favon if they stiopped using any motor but USM as it highly improves the focus ability's of a lens and i guess that the older usm by now is rather cheap to produce and miles better then these anoying micromotors.

i guess its smething people are willing to pay a little more for as now theres often the regret they didnt get a good lens the first time.
like the new kit lens and the 55-250 are great lenses IQ wise however there just terribly slow focusing.

lets hopw the 50 1.8 III IQ is as good as the mkII but it gets USM so it actuay bothers focussing unlike the MKII wich is crap when it comes to focusing .

id pay 200 ish euro for a improved version and they get my old one back as thats a shitty lens preformance wise.
but knowing canon its not gonna get USM and cost about 250 euro as all there new lenses are more then twice the price of the old ones.... greedy buggers.

i cant see the t4i being released before the 70D as there is nothing else to put inthere wich by then will be worth the money as any improvement will mean you will be buying a 60D unless they will have a new sensor by then but i cant see them put a new sensor in a rebel first.

revolutionairy noise controll sounds good it almost sounds TO good making me wonder if this is just a load of software noise controll or some actualy improvement.
other then that im not really interested in any of the features except maby touch focus for life view noise and shutterspeeds higher iso gives me is my main concern.


ps. the post confirmation question doesnt know about yellow snow i suggest you educate it before you know what happens.

I would never trust a Media Markt sales clerk for anything...

hehe i agree however if he was one wanting profits he would say there wouldnt be a upgrade at all this year so he can sell a camere now

With the price of the new Canon offerings, there’s going to be lots of room for other companies to make big glass more affordable.

cant agree more canon is totaly kicking itself out of the market with the prices of there new lens releases there really a lot mor expencive the the competition and it has me wondering if its still worth getting canon lenses or any canon gear for that matter..
the 580 has gotten almost 25% more expencive over the past 5 months the 7D body is still the same price as it was on the release date the only thing that noticibly dropped in price fast is the 100MM IS macro wich went from 980 to 790 euro.

if this is a trend that continues to go on canon will have a difficult time in the future as its harder and harder to make money with photography and these massive price rises arent helping.
for example the old 70-200 F2.8 is was 1550 euro (1750 now)  the new one was sits at about 2100 euro thats a massive price increase for something already really expencive.

ah well we will see what it brings us in the future and lets hope the competition dishes out some nice gear that can finaly compare to canons focus speed and IQ for little less

I apparently have to remind a few folks that Canon Rumors does not think new camera stuff is more important than the tragedy in Japan. I wish the country the best recovery possible.

Probably the best thing we can all now do for the people of Japan is to support their economy by continuing to buy their products.  So remember the oft quoted advice, treat rumours as fun but don't put off your your purchasing decision just because you hear one; especially now.

i agree lets ask the goverment to remove some of the import taxes and regular 19% tax so i can afford some more gear.

somehow i hope the 580exII replacement comes sooner then later as i need a good flash and the 580 has gon up from 300 euros to 380 euros now and a new model might kick down the price again to just under 300 (or atleast i hope so).
