So who has ordered 1DX in Canada. Let's keep each other posted.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( yeah.. that's what i was told.

Nope, every time I asked that question I got the standard pre-programmed answer "It's all up to Canon Canada, we have no idea" blah blah blah...

Got word that mine is shipping to me today from a western Canada distributor. Should have in my hand by Tuesday. I am a CPS member and have been keeping in touch.

CameraCanada just put up a notice on their 1DX page saying that they will have a big shipment coming in the next few weeks.

I'm in Montreal, but I put a hold on one at Henry's in TO early on (I think it was February). I used my CPS number and was told it would move me up the line. I got an email in June asking me to confirm my postal code, but they did not have an expected date. I haven't heard anything since. Canon did want to know if I was going to the Olympics. I am not. I figure it was for on site support.

To be honest, I bought the 5D Mark III at the beginning of May when the 1DX was being delayed again and again. I'm considering not nabbing the 1DX and going with a second 5D MIII instead. I am actually nervous about that phone call now: "Sir, your 1DX is ready to ship. Shall we charge your card?" "Ummmmmmm...."

Anybody have news on the expected Canadian CPS pricing? 6500$ still?

CPS price is $5900cdn, got that price from camera store in Calgary after they verified my CPS membership. 2 1dx arrived in Edmonton, and it's true that CPS gets priority. Camera store has not gotten their shipment yet as of this afternoon. Vistek is still quoting CPS pricing at 6300.

I'm number 6 on the camera store list. We'll see how many they get in.

Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Cheers!

Got got my notice from The Camera Store in Calgary, they shipped my 1dx on Friday afternoon, should be in my hands on Tuesday.

Cheers

Just picked up my 1DX today in Toronto at Vistek!

 

[Shnookums]

I have been on the pre-order list of a smaller store in Montreal since the day of te announcement and never got any call from them. But, I ordered Monday online with CameraCanada in London Ontario and they shipped my 1Dx one yesterday, only one day after I ordered it

I should have it by today or tomorrow. Give them a call or order online!

Good luck to all!

I called CameraCanada this morning and they said their current wait list has 0 people. So I put my name on their list and as soon as they receive another shipment they will ship mine out.

CameraCanada received 4 units last week.

I got a 1Dx, a WFT-E6 and an ST-E3-RT from the Camera Store in Calgary today. My serial number was #36 so there aren't that many in North America that have gone out yet.

For what it is worth, I am CPS and heading to London.

 

[WesternGuy]

For those of us among the uninitiated 8), will someone tell me what a "CPS" is and how I get one? Thanks.

The CPS program is available to full-time and part-time imaging professionals that meet the membership level requirements of equipment ownership and business status

I got my 1D X from the Camera Store today. My serial number is 104. I guess I will be keeping my self occupied for the next few days or more.

Got mine this week and i got serial number #27

I wonder though if those serial are for Canada only and that in the US they have different serial numbers...

 

[WesternGuy]

JR, I was told that I had the 104th one in North America, so I am guessing that the numbers are for both Canada and the United States. Doesn't really matter - I have mine in time for my African safari in early September and that is all that matters to me.
