Yeah, that was a joy-kill. No pre-order here until I know what this is supposed to be doing. Also, only works with a wide open lens (not a problem for me)eoren1 said:For all the speculation about Dual Pixel RAW, this line just...sucks:

Whatever, the kit package will start dropping more than the two separate packages together. Maybe Canon also hopes some people will go for the kit in the beginning because body-only is limited(??).dilbert said:unfocused said:davidj said:Body only: $3,499
Body + 24-105 kit: $4599
24-105: $1,099
Why buy the kit? If my maths is right, it saves no money than buying separately (and actually costs a dollar more).
I noticed this too. It's pretty much the same with the 24-70 as well. I don't recall if this is typical or not, but I don't think it is.
Maybe this is another one of Canon's tactics to control prices - ie. by setting the kit prices to be body + lens, a retailer can't unbox the lens and sell them separately for less than the MSRP.

Michaels is advertising it for $4999. They are generally not the cheapest, so expect street prices to drop below $5000. I would give it at least a year for prices to settle.
For most of those who have the 5DIII, there is hardly a desperate need to upgrade, unless you have really punished your 5DIII.

I came here to say that. Canon's web store is $5699, JB is $5699, Teds is $5199, and Michaels is $4999. It's being offered as body only or with the 24-70 2.8. I'm guessing they'll start offering the kit with the new 24-105 a bit later on, which will mirror what they did in Australia with the 5D III with the premium kit (24-105) and the professional kit (24-70 2.8 ).
It's a lot of money, but AU$4999 is slightly less than the US price of US$3499 plus 10% GST.
