Re: Canon \
trust me don't but a 5DMk2 . the autofocus is no where near usable for the high ISO things people want to do with it. better buying something new that works .terjegudmundsson said:I am just planning to buy 5D MKII, - maybe a good idea to wait some days for take a look at the announcement?
I guess the price will fall right after..

Re: Canon \
i'm not entirely convinced that Nikon are finished with their announcements yet, so could be some surprises to come from Canon in response. Despite releasing details of their mirrorless cameras, their I AM COMING campaign (http://www.iamcomings.com/) is apparently not due for another couple of hours yet. I can't see that they'd start the campaign and then not bother with it and announce early without taking the site down. Unless it's not Nikon at all...

Re: Canon \
Stores deal with sales reps. Sales reps are not high enough up on the food chain for that kind of advance information.

Re: Canon \
Did the bloke behind the counter sell you that line of BS? :
Clearly, they know how to separate people from their money... We are approaching the end of the quarter. While I agree with unfocused's comments in another thread, stating that a reduced price on the 5DII will have no meaningful impact on Canon's corporate bottom line, moving more units of a big-ticket item very well might make a difference for a relatively small retailer like Jessops (yes, they're a big photography retailer, but small compared to a department store, such as John Lewis with >20-fold higher revenues).
So, I'd say the most likely scenario is that some retailers are trying to meed quarterly sales targets, and discounting the 5DII is one way they're trying to achieve that. That's why there are price reductions by some retailers, and not others.
Oh, so sorry. Let me guess, you're real name is Masaya Maeda and you're just trolling these forums for personal amusement, right? Domo arigato for your sage words of wisdom, Mr Maeda.

Re: Canon \
Things are heating up!!!
I have no idea what will be announced tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be something cool that we all care about (5DmkIII). All I know, there have been multiple times where prices for the mkII have sunk to prices that had to be below cost only to go right back up and no new 5D being announced.
We can all hope though can't we.

Re: Canon \
I certainly don't care about the 5DIII...
People that want the 7DII, what is wrong with you? The 7D is nearly new still and has tons of great feature that no other Canon camera has... What is wrong with it?
People that want a 5DIII, ok... This one needs an update I grant you that. Still, let's not forget the 1DsIII is more than 4 years old...
Tomorrow, if anything is announced it should be a 1DsIV or something like it. Maybe a 5DIII along with it. The 7DII is nowhere near...

Re: Canon \
That confirms it!!! New 5D tomorrow!!! They only changed the name to CR-2 PLUS Retinal Camera, and it now weighs 44 pounds. I guess I'll have to get a new tripod now.
