The 5D2 has a average price of £1650 but I thought I'd seen it advertised late last year for £1499, could be wrong though.

I just checked the UK price for the MkII and it's still currently higher than it was before Christmas...

I am new here but hear me out.  2 dropped in price and 3 is brand new.  These prices will stay for 6+ months.  B&H sets the price standard for everyone to follow for a lot of photography equipment.  Adorama would match it and other authorized dealers would follow.  Bad economy in Europe and US means less sales and supply is in lower stock because of last year's earthquake.  I know Canon wasnt directly hit but Japan as a whole was affected.

Canon has 2 of their top cameras out.  They can control the prices and market.  When some new body will be announced maybe 2 will get $100-$200 dropped but not to $1800.  Maybe from $2200 to $2000.
