My friend in California just bought the 5D Mark II kit with the 24-105L for $2800 from Henry's. Aside from the screaming deal that is, she got the free shipping deal they're offering.

Even if you pay for shipping, it only comes to about $12. My friend says when she added the camera to her cart, it showed the shipping cost. On her PayPal statement though, she only saw the cost of the camera.

FYI, seems like justsomedude is right; Henry's might be out of stock on the body only. I can't find it anywhere when searching. But still, even if you already have or don't want the 24-105, paying $800 for that lens is a steal. You could sell it for $900 or $1000 and be selling it less than most online retailers.

Hmm... too bad. Sorry, I guess I'm not being very helpful but another large Toronto retailer to watch is Vistek: http://www.vistek.ca/camerastore/DigitalSLRCameras.aspx but they currently have the body on for $2300 which wouldn't save you anything. Futureshop has bodies in stock at $1999.99 CDN but probably wouldn't ship to the US since they're owned by BestBuy. Henrys had the body a couple weeks ago- check the site daily, maybe you'll get lucky.

I ordered a 5dm2 from Henrys several weeks ago and paid $2,762.15 ( after Can to US exchange) plus $82.86 ( foreign transaction fee) for a total of $2845 charged to Paypal. I also received it 1 day from Toronto to Philadelphia,PA.

This was the kit for the 24-105L. I don't need the 24-105L so I'm selling that ( white box) for $950.00. which will bring the body cost down to $1895.00. Just an amazing deal on an amazing camera that suits my needs for many years to come.

Henry's was a delight to deal with. No hiccups and as I said received in 24hrs with the standard $12.00 shipping that comes through the USPS.

They have been on sale all over since Thanksgiving. The best prices are in Canada. The warranty is for USA and Canada, so US residents lose nothing by purchasing from Canadian stores.

Here is a link to a 5D stock tracker. CR also has links to popular stores, which give them a few dollars for referrals at no cost to the buyer.

I had a great experience with Henry's Camera in Canada and got a 5D MK ll body with US warranty shipped for $1,992. A rep told me they have been selling a lot to US customers. The shipping was very fast, and using PayPal without an account couldn't have been easier.
I'm under the impression they regularly get batches of the body because they often sell out at those prices.

If I were to do it again, I'd order one and wait for their next batch.

Lowest price around from a legit dealer
Great customer service
US warranty
Fast, low-cost shipping
No tax

Make sure you know where you are buying from.

I'd rather spend an extra $50+ at B&H and know that I'm not receiving something dodgy.

B&H happen to have also dropped prices nicely on the 5D2 and 5D2 kit.

I tried the Henry's $1,999 deal a few weeks back on the 5D when it was in stock. After 3 failed attempts I called Chase (my credit card provider) to ask them what the deal was. They simply said they wouldn't authorize the charge to Henry's. Raised to many questions in my mind, so I gave up pursuing the order.

However, I may snag that BH deal... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/833531-REG/Canon_EOS_5D_Mark_II.htm

$2,799 is hard to pass up.

I never implied that anyone was lying. Your bank has its own reasons but it's not because of Henrys' business practices, people in this country worship that place. Besides which, two other American posters in this thread successfully made the transaction you attempted and had rave reviews. The consipiracy theorist in me wonders if it has anything to do with Chase being the financier for Best Buy/Future Shop, but it couldn't be that, could it? ;D
