The First from Europe
Oddly, it looks the same as the American 5D2.
This was sent to us from Copenhagen, Denmark.
I'm still waiting on the first 5D Mark II from Canada & Tuvalo

Just collect mine in Ireland today. Only one kit supplied to the shop but I got them to take the lens out.
Ten minutes after collecting it another shop called me with another kit, again only one supplied to the shop.
I think, only one kit or body supplied to Rajala Pro Shop Sanomatalo
in Helsinki, Finland. They don’t say how many? But thay say about my number in a line, it is 11. Also thay say, that may be I have to wait more then month with that number to get camera! May be only in New Year?! Not good news for Finnish photographers! Not at all! It look, we are again last in Europe! Or may be also new cameras can not find customers after delivery to the shop? :) Many “friends of the shop” would like to be first hand-holders of new rare thing? ;) Because Rajala Pro Shop keep in secret amount of first delivery for no reason! Nobody need to know how many of Canon 5D Mark II in Finland now! No one need know how long to wait! :) Will see! Let me know if I am not correct! No information, many questions! Sombody from Finland, tell me truth about this situation!

And now there is a text (verkkokauppa.com):
“Ensimmäinen suurempi erä on alustavan tiedon mukaan tulossa viikolla 51. Tilauksia on kuitenkin sisällä niin paljon että ainakaan syyskuun jälkeen tilanneet eivät valitettavasti tule saamaan kameraansa tänä vuonna. Teemme parhaamme, että saisimme saatavuuden paranemaan.”

Rough and short translation:
“We should get a (first) larger shipment during the week 51. People who ordered after September will not get their cameras this year.”
This sure feels like a long wait. :) Luckily I am almost at the top position in the current queue list.
I have got 5D Mark II in Finland – Helsinki! I was N 11 in waiting line!
This is one of the best post I ever read. How hard was it to build your site? Could someone like me with no experience do it? Thanks very much for any help.
