DARN! If Best Buy carries it, I guess that means it is not a "pro" level camera..... I can use it at home, but not at work :(

I'm pretty sure I've seen Best Buy carrying the 6D so maybe they are trying to be pro?! Do what Scott Kelby said buy the battery grip and then other pro photographers won't notice.

Wait...Best Buy will be carrying it also! What! Game changer since I have a Best Buy ten minutes driving distance from my house than the 45 minute Express Bus Ride to B&H. Thank You for posting this! ;D

Last I checked, BB had a 15% restocking fee for all returns. I would take the 45 minute ride just to have that safety net in case it wasnt what you expected.

I know (about the restocking fee) I purchased my first DSLR Canon Rebel XS from there.
I use to work part time at Best Buy a few years ago and my manager still works there.
That always comes in handy, I'll stop by the store next week when it's released to check out the demo if I don't get a chance at PhotoPlus Expo.

Don't forget the biggest ripoff there is, the WFT-E7A version 2, for only $849:

$849 for a wifi transmitter. Unbelievable.

There hasn't been a restocking fee on anything purchased at Best Buy other than special order and custom order appliances in years. Product bought through their Best Buy for Business division may have restocking fees.

As long as you return it with the box and all included accessories within 15 days, you're all good. They also price match B&H and items shipped and sold by Amazon.

Here's their policy:

i have gotten used to having the wifi on my 6d and 70d. i really wish the 7dii had it built in but i have an idea that should work. it has 2 card slots cf and sd, you can specify what files to write to each so if you use an eye fi card and shoot raw to the cf card and small jpeg to the eye fi in the sd card slot then it should do the same thing.

File transfer is only one of the useful features of wifi... Although... I won't miss this feature. But there are many people who will!

$849 for a wifi transmitter. Unbelievable.

I've been reading the manual. If you have two 7D MarkIIs and two wifi transmitters (for $1698) you can synchronise the times on the two bodies. That's got to be worth something...

And if you have two 7DII's and turn the GPS clock updates on, both will sync to GPS time, thus automatically syncing to each other.
