Jessops (UK) - Canon price increases??

Hi all,

I've been reading CR for ages, but only just joined the forums - so hello to all you fellow Canon fans!

My current camera is a 400D, which I bought back in 2006... so it's been some time now that I've been wanting to upgrade. I had my eyes set on either a 7D or 5Dmkii, but just noticed that Jessops (here in the UK) have increased the price of both those bodies! The 5Dmkii + 24-105L kit I was about to order from Jessops has just gone up by £200! Does anyone here know what's going on or are they merely increasing prices for a short period so that they can then offer us some 'xmas deals'?

Many thanks in advance.

5d mark II is still at an all time low price.

Thanks for the link!
So what do you guys think is the reason for the price increase?


Either end of Canon wholesale discount/incentive or exhaustion of stock.
Prices could drop tomorrow if new incentive on offer.

Prices at Vistek, a Canadian store, have risen due to the floods in Thailand.

They have posted this on their site.

Perhaps this is the reason?
