Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Delayed? [CR2]

(1/4) > >>

Canon Rumors:
Share Oh no :(
I’ve heard from multiple places that the upcoming Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II will not reach market by April 17, 2012 as originally stated by Canon. There is no official new date, but we’ve been told and seen elsewhere that it could be delayed until July 2012. The 5D Mark III has been a relatively successful launch, I am disappointed to see that has turned out to be an exception instead of a new rule. None of this has been confirmed by Canon yet. Speaking of 1D X
I posted earlier about the 1D X being allocated to CPS members first in some countries. That does NOT include the USA.. I know it’s true in this one (Canada) as I had to provide a CPS number for preorder. Source: [DC] cr

Wow. If true, it really will beg the question why do Canon even bother with release date estimates?

Perhaps in future they should just tell us it'll be done when it's done, rather than constantly undermining themselves.

That's good news for me. :)

Of course, given the way Canon releases have been working lately, even if my B&H preorder is high enough on the list to get a camera from the first shipment, I still might not see the camera until 3Q...

Urgh... Dammit...

If true this is very disappointing. After all we've already seen photos of the retail packaging and samples of seemingly final lenses. I wonder what the holdup is? Something strange is happening with these delays and I don't like it.
