So, September 22 could get quite intresting.
By the way, I hope it includes a 5Diii for me anyway 8)

I wonder if it's more a case of a relatively small dealer in the pro market just not wanting to place another order when they think there might be a new model on the horizon? I seem to remember something originating a while back from another NZ store. I'd assume Canon has an MOQ of some form so maybe they just don't want to order another 10 when they only sell one or two a month?

P.S. I live just a little north in Tasmania so of course not saying anything negative against NZ, I just understand how a dealer in a smaller country that has less sales doesn't want to get stuck with "possibly" obsolete stock .
