Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
What do we expect the delivery dates to be? I have an event April 22-24 that would be ideally suited for this body. If I can get concurrence from "the boss" I may just have to pre-order. Life is too short to wait to see what the 5D4 will be like and then rationalize the purchase of one over the other.

Canon USA shows April 29th. B&H is typically a few days ahead of that, but probably not in time for your event. Then again, it could arrive in mid April, late May, or any other time. I would definitely have a plan B.JMZawodny said:

*sigh* That always seems to be the way things work out. Well I have June events too. Those should be safe. I guess the April event will be the last hurrah for my faithful 7-year-old 5D2. I'll also have the 7D2 for the daytime action. Thanks.

Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
tragically, and insulting to the intelligence and the pocketbook, is the price of the new dual charger from canon
the price for this lump of black polycarbonate and few bits of metal is $ 399.00 ....anyone who understands cameras and equipment must surely realize that this probably costs 3 or 4 dollars usa to manufacture , likely in china
canon has greed and disrespect of its users and the forefront of its agenda as a business... users should boycott this item and let canon know in an e mail .....let this become news and an embarassment to canon .....i firmly believe they deservei it

She's not happy and is making the demand that she gets her own DSLR in return. My daughter wants my 5D2 and a couple of recently replaced zooms. I think this is something I can work with.

Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
Only in Canada is there such a thing as a CPS discount. The 1DX was $5950. Because of the CPS discount my super telephoto lenses are worth more now than when I bought them. I wouldn't have touched this camera at $8000 retail in Canada but at $6700 it looks a lot more tempting. Anyways, my preorder is in.
And yes I do have to pay 5% tax on the camera. Some Canadians have to pay a lot more....

Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
You know, I'm a little irked by the pricing on the AC adapter. The DR-E19 DC coupler is $250, but you obviously need the other half too, the AC-E19, which is $400. $650? Really?
In contrast the ACK-E4 kit for the 1DX, which comes with BOTH the coupler and the AC power adapter is $100.
Sure, no one else makes this accessory presently and people will likely not risk their 1DXIIs with the eventual 3rd party accessories, but I am genuinely wondering what justifies the price point.

£5199? Ouch! Sorry to hear that. That's about $7,500. I really hate UK pricing of camera equipment.

Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
Thanks (I think). I was hoping for no higher than $8,500. Might see it come down a little bit once Nikon reduce the D5 which some are predicting.localhost said:dslrdummy said:

AUD$8999 = USD$6300
Same price as Nikon D5

And Yes, they deliver a 64GB Sandisk CFast card and a reader as part of the package.
Thanks, I am really looking forward to this one!kaihp said:arbitrage said:
From what I can tell from the Canon DK website, Canon is offering the same CFast card & reader for free if you buy and register before October 1st, 2016.
I just checked: same applies to Norway, Eldar. (Congrats on being first in line for the 1Dx2)

Re: Preorder: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
Yes, but it's only USD$200 more than B&H, in Aus you pay import Tax on anything over AUD$1000, so I figure what the hell, 200 bucks is fine & I need that Camera, well..... not really, but I want it, and now I've pre ordered so I'm feeling fine.
And it comes with that charger thingy that someone complained about the price in an earlier post, so I get the expensive boycott-able charger thingy free, sort of.

Sincere apologies, Eldar. I did not mean anything negative or even sarcastic by it, but I can see how my comment may have come across in the wrong way. I have every respect for you, and the images you post. Thanks.
Eldar said:That was a terrible post ... I was just so thrilled with getting a treat :expatinasia said:Eldar said:I just had a call from my retailer, who wanted my CPS number. Apparently, due to platinum status, I am now first in line
Eldar, I would expect no less.
