Some questions re: 7D Mark II:

Is there (or will there be) a kit with the new 18-135 IS USM? I thought when that lens was announced they said there would be but I don't see it anywhere...

...except on Canon's website where they have it with the WiFi card:

https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/eos-7d-mark-ii-ef-S-18-135mm-is-usm-wi-fi-adapter-kit

However, the price there is puzzling me ($2450.) You can get all three same items, bought separately, for $2140. on B&H right now. Meaning I could get the body and lens for just $2100.

What I'm hoping for is to get a discount as typical with the kit where the body + lens is cheaper than if bought separately. E.g. maybe $1999 or less in this case. But I'm not seeing that option anywhere.

Anybody have thoughts or recall rumors that such a kit will be offered?

Canon used its product pricing policy "new" for this particular kit. Yes, it is absurd to buy a body kit and lens without any discount when compared to products purchased separately. The market logic will make the price fall in the coming months.

Thanks - I guess I'll just keep monitoring it. Would be nice to see that kit with an appropriately discounted price.
