Haha, that was quite the response. Thanks all…. I’m going to enjoy the photography a lot of you have posted.

I’ll probably give away more than 1 T-Shirt, I’ll contact the random winners this week for mailing addresses.

  • Geoff,
    I just walked into a Ritz store and ordered mine last Saturday. They shipped it out on Monday and I should get it by next Monday, latest :-)
    Maybe you can do the same.

  • CodeSith,

    I hate you! I am very sad that is possible. I would have to pay tax now which I would not mind that much only to the fact that I would have the camera much quicker. What part of the country are you in? I just keep hoping mine will ship out this week. I can tell you my local shop if having to separate kits as that is all they have gotten. I am on their waiting list too. Still got 4 more people to go there. Calumet in SF had 90 Pre -orders paid, I am not getting in that line. I even tried calling Hawaii to get one, see of some dinky shop had one. Wish I had your luck code!

  • GRRRRR. …. in europe the 5d MKII is still not available. What’s happening? Pre-ordered mine as from the first possible moment. It seems that not deliveries are made to europe :-( Did somebody in europe (NL, UK , Germany or France already received their cam?)

  • I went to the Ritz store online, but no shipping to Canada allowed (max authorized= 3256$)….

  • Estimated release date for 5D mII body only on the Vistek site: 12/08/2008… even if it’s a special order.
    without preorder ? I can’t believe this!!

  • Geoff,
    I’m from Redmond, WA. I Actually got the one with kit lens. The guy at the store told me that a lot of people pre-ordered the body only package. So it’s more likely to get your 5DII sooner if you order the kit lens package. 24-105 f/4 isn’t half bad. I figured I’ll just get the kit lens package if that’s what it takes to get my 5DII before Xmas.

  • CodeSith,

    Yeah I already have a 24-70 f2.8, so I have been trying to avoid buying the kit lens. I just might have to though if i want the lens. Thanks for the heads up.

  • You guys aren’t worried about the firmware, apparently. I’m waiting until several of you rave about the autofocus and the processing before I jump.

    Then, if you’re all NOT happy I can wait until Canon fixes it, like they still haven’t done for the 1DsMkIII.

  • I pre-ordered WAY back and still nothing. Henry’s tells me they’ve already sent out one shipment, but apparently I wasn’t in that one – even though I was told I was #17 when I ordered and would get one FOR SURE in the first ship. So disappointing. Crossing my fingers that it will be any day now…

  • I was at Calumet store in San Francisco and the rep told me they only received 3 for the whole store and won’t get any till next year. He said shipment was slow with the distributor. Nobody knows anything on when the next shipment.

    This whole thing is killing everybody. Some folks are getting their 5Dmk2 while a large bulk of other folks can only hope and pray they receive something via email or call. We are all drooling over the pictures!

    What a mess? Is this worth stressing out?

    We have better SUCCESS to get a “T-Shirt from Canon Rumors!”

    Canon got us all on the run!

  • Just called the Calumet store here in the LA area (i’m on travel here) and the guy at the store said they had 5 paid backorders and about 50 on the wait list. He expected delivery in MARCH! Yikes.

  • Profeel pulled the impossible. I just received my tracking number and will be getting my 5Dmk2 next week. Note: I placed the order just last week, Wed 11/26. For me, they beat Ritz, OneCall, Calumet, Adorama, J&R, and B&H. A local New York store (Profeel) is the way to go! Thanks Canon rumors for directing me to go local stores. Hopefully CR is still accepting pictures of the open 5Dmk2. What would be really nice is to have a CR T-shirt next to my new 5Dmk2…..LOL!
