Why do so many people order online? If you want the camera asap, go pick it up! Don't you have brick and mortar camera stores in America?

The same online outlets have storefronts. If it's not available online what makes you think it will be available in store? Different states also have different sales taxes. In my state, for example, there is a 7% sales tax. If I order online I can avoid that sales tax if the business does not have a presence (store or office)in my state. I saved $250 that can be used on other gear, and I'm getting my camera one week after it was released even though I just reordered it yesterday.

No sales tax, when buying grey market gear. In Australia we take out money into stores, we walk out with full warranty. No waiting 4-6 weeks for you "pre-orders".

I didn't wait 4-6 weeks for my pre-order, I got my camera the day after Canon released it. Mine has the full USA warranty. Ordering online gave me the convenience of having it delivered to my door, and I paid no sales tax. 8)

The camera is a week old, so you would hope so! Rumours of the V are strong, stores will have to discount the IV very soon to clear their stock that's sitting around.

Why do you feel the need to call someone that hasn't yet received a newly released camera a sucker? Does that make you feel better about your life? Grow up.

I would prefer a "brick and mortar" store, but the nearest store that would have the camera within a week of release date was hundreds of miles away. I pre-ordered my 5D Mark IV online from B&H. The camera arrived via overnight shipping Friday morning, and I've been *VERY* happy with both the customer experience and the camera.aa_angus said:
It is actually a bit frustrating that photography focused stores are so far away because I like to see (and touch) items before I buy them. My daughter is also getting into traditional "film" photography and finding a place for supplies (after her course ends and she no longer has access to their facilities) is going to be a problem, especially since the nearest place to develop film is over an hour away and they take a month to do it.
