Any word about how big of a rebate?

And does the end date of the USA rebate suggest that any DSLR announcement will more likely happen after?

I wasn't sent the literature for the rebate. However, if Canada is $1999, I'd expect the US to come in around the same.

I suddenly worry for myself that a 5DIII might be coming before a 1Ds...

If tomorrow we see a 5DIII, I hope the 1Ds is right beside it.

 

[Rockadell]

I hope the price is really low

Don't you think it's time to set the recommendation for the 5D at the camera section to "hold"? Imho it's pretty obvious that there is something going in the FF area in the next six months. Or do you have some kind of a "system" when you change the status?

Regards, Dave

1,999.00 is a great deal for a brand new 5D II. It might just get some of us to buy it when it hit the USA. I sure hope this is true

 

[nikkito]

here in Switzerland the 5D Mk II is also on sale.
i bought it a year ago for 2600 CHF and now it costs around 1900 CHF body only and special deal.
You can check it in digitec.ch
The site is also in English

In Germany we have not heard of big rebates yet, but the price is continuesly dropping since July. You can follow this trend here:

http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/?phist=366844&age=365

The current price is 1750 Euro, which equals about 2300 USD (incl. 19% VAT)..

Same here in Italy: The price has been dropping since about 2 weeks from € 2.100 to € 1.700 right now (about 2.300 USD 21% VAT incl.)

in the uk, it appears the 5dmkii is at it's lowest price yet (according to camerapricebuster.co.uk).

it's currently sitting at £1549.90 ($2427.45). This appears to have dropped by about £200 ($313.24) over the past couple of months. who knows why!

The UK has seem price drops on both the 7D and the 5D Mark II.

5D Mark II body only :-
Jacobs Digital £1549.90
Jessops.com Collect At Store Service £1549.95

7D Body only :-
Jacobs Digital £1088.00
Jessops.com Collect At Store Service £1088.00

Both these retailers are on the high street and don't usually do big reductions like this often.

curious how the 2nd hand market will react to the price drop. Currently monitoring ebay and my local u.s. craigslist area, they roughly are going for around ~$2100 or about $400 off a new for a 5d2 body with under 8k actuations.

 

[bycostello]

that mean something new coming?

 

[nitelife2]

In Germany the 5DII body is now at 1700€:

Look at the chart and you will know that this is still not the end. I am pretty sure that a replacement body is coming very soon.

If you search for "Canon 5D mark" at www.google.de, you can see "Canon 5D Mark III | Amazon.de" on the top of the results as an advertisement of amazon.de
But the link only shows other Canon EOS products.

Here in the UK today is the lowest price so far see - http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod726.html

zacuto (a firm selling high-end movie accessories) just introduced a discount on its EVF

IIRC, last time something like this happened was just a few days before the 60D was announced

which tells me there's probably a new FF with swivel screen coming very, very soon :
or maybe it's just the camcorder that's broadly expected for nov 3rd

The 5D II with the 24-105 kit has been selling locally for $2999.00 Canadian for at least a month.
