Really? Is this a rumor site? I can see the price increases on lenses not the body. almost 10%? That’s a lot. If Canon does so, it will lose the market to Nikon…….
I think Canon wants to increases the sales on the Q1 so the “NEWS” is out. I want one too but still hold off till the price down or rebate.
Guys don’t be fooled by the rumors……. well, if the money is not an issue now, why not……
Yes a rumor site.
And I don’t think you can actually be ‘fooled’ by a rumor – because it is just that…a ‘rumor’!
Viewed from Europe, it looks like Canon tries to get as much turnover as possible, while not renewing quickly enough its products line (particularly on the lenses), maybe to keep the investment rates low enough…
Some people are disappointed because they have been waiting for a long time a renewal from Canon which is not coming (ex: we still wait for the new 400mm/5.6L, a 3D body, or some new lenses in the pro or consumer area 24/2 or /2.8, the new pro tele 500 & 600/4 IS, …).
Well, it looks like Canon is not as proactive as it was, but the competition (Nikon and Sony soon) could wake up Canon…
Already the Canon EOS 5D mk II is out of sight for the average consumer. I remember in December when the price of the camera was $2700 CAN – now its going up again from $3099 CAN to $3299 CAN. Sorry, the economic situation in world wide doesn’t warrant the huge mark up on this camera. Sorry, you just cannot justify this major jump in price. It doesn’t make sense.
Lower the price so that people will buy more – not less!
What are the best third party lenses for the EOS 5D Mark II?
Give me suggestions for a wide zoom and a telephoto zoom.
