Why would anyone pre-order? A serious question.

What is so incredibly urgent that you can't wait a few months until after it has shipped?

The title of this post is your answer, so you can get a free cfast card and a reader! Besides I pre-ordered it the day it was announced even before they had the special deal with free card and reader, because I want to get it/use it as soon as it ships.

Like I said in a later post, the 64GB CFast card is not all that useful, especially if you plan on using the 4K capabilities on the 1DX Mark II. And as it USB 3.0 I would probably just connect the laptop direct to the camera.

I am sure it is going to be an amazing camera, I just want to test it first. I am funny like that! ;D Hopefully will be able to do that early April.

Out here in India, I've placed my pre-order will the local Canon dealer. Canon dealers are bundling the Sandisk 128GB CFast card and the card reader with the 1DX2.

Not sure I would have been so quick in placing the preorder had only a 64GB card been on offer.

Does anyone know if you need to put an actual despot down to preorder, or can I just add my name to the list? I'm buying in Canada but live in the UK currently.

I know you British try to spread your ways, but Canada is free now. Mostly.

Hi tpatana.
I was about to post and ask just how this helped answer the question feeling it was most unhelpful. Then I saw it and LOL you caught that one just right. ;D
Assuming that R1-7D actually meant deposit can anyone help?

Cheers, Graham.

Hahaha

Yes, I meant "deposit"! It's my iPhone's fault for auto-correct, and my fault for not rereading what I wrote carefully enough.

It depends on the retailer, for instance B&H ran my credit card within 24 hours for my 1DX MkII preorder, Adorama don't run the card until the item is in stock and ready to ship. So get in touch with the specific retailers you are interested in buying from and find out their specific policies.
