Please be very careful ordering from this seller. Google them and you will find current information that may lead you to pass on them.

When I bought my kit from adorama, it was a 5d2 24-105, battery grip, spare battery, case, 8GB UMDA Sandisk CF, remote release, and software bundle for $2990. When you take out the goodies It would put the 5d2 kit near 2750 give or take (after I bought that it jumped up $300 the next day and $100 more once the rebates ended)... Must have been a typo on the price? But they honored the price.

That's a great deal if it was a Canon grip. All those items add up.

The irony was at the time, the kit with JUST camera and lens was $3199 but that same kit plus all those extras was $200 cheaper... It was a no brainer...

Aww I can't believe I missed this...You can sell the 24-105 if u don't need it...that would make the 5D II less than 2k brand new!! :-*

5D2 body has been on sale in Canada for $1999 and will continue till at least Christmas if there's stock. I got mine for $1899 about a week ago when a large retailer had a 1-day offer of an extra $100 off any camera over $1000 ;D

I think you can still order from Henry's (www.henrys.ca) for $1999. Shipping to the States (if that's where you are) and the exchange rate will cost a few bucks extra but still a great buy.

My question would be will they charge fees going out of the country? I always step back and look at things when I have to buy things out of the states...

My understanding is there is no duty and they will ship it by USPS via Canada Post so there will be no brokerage fees. However, I don't know all that for a fact... another member had the same questions a few days ago and was about to place an order... I'll search to see if he made a final posting about it...

Could this pricing be an indication of things to come?

Best Buy is now showing the 5D Mark II w/24-105 lens for $2749.99. Currently it says Backordered: Usually leaves our warehouse within 1-2 weeks.
