<strong>From Australia</strong>
The first country to our knowledge to get the new EOS 70D is Australia. A few have started to trickle in to retailers around the country. For the moment it appears only kits have made their way to retailers.</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>Bodies are arriving at retailers as we speak.</p>

<p><strong>The rest of the world…</strong>

We’re told by B&H Photo to expect arrival of the camera to happen before the end of August. Stock will be pretty good, but preorders are still recommended. European retailers should get them around the same time.</p>

Indeed, and the box on top is body only, while the one on the bottom is a kit.

 

[Ewinter]

I work retail in the UK. We get bodies tomorrow and 18-55 kits by the 27th

 

[vlim]

I can't wait to read the reviews from dpreview and tdp 8)

 

[awinphoto]

Okay our auzzie and UK friends... pictures... we want to see pictures of what this puppy can do =)

 

[WhoIreland]

there's a batch in Dublin,Ireland today too - arrived this morning

 

[Woody]

Will be picking up my copy tomorrow.

 

[Plainsman]

After the 70D could the new 100-400L be far behind?

 

[supe3]

they are getting in the shipments but are they allowed to sell them? or when will they start selling them?

 

[Pandypix]

I have to say the price is pretty good at JB $1499 for the kit but body only is not showing there I will still be waiting a while before I make a final decision and purchase as I am off travelling using my 500d. Christmas specials I hope will make this even better.

 

[fvaron]

Just in time for fall colors!

 

[brad-man]

After the 70D could the new 100-400L be far behind?

Yes.

 

[Strobe the globe]

Awesome!

 

[bsbeamer]

any thoughts on an updated firmware release for this camera in the coming weeks/months to add additional features? was on the phone with a Canon tech for an unrelated issue and seemed to be hinting that could be happening at some point in the future - obviously wouldn't elaborate at all, unfortunately...

Hi,
Saw it on the store yesterday night and play with it.

The normal AF is faster compare to 60D and the live view AF work really well and fast. High ISO performance basically same as 60D.

By the way, I notice that the 70D user manual indicate that there are 2 version: 70D (W) and 70D (N). 70D (N) do not have WIFI... certain country cannot use WIFI??

Have a nice day.

 

[Chewngum]

Australia pricing seems to be just above $1300 body only.

An excerpt from an email B&H sent me today:

We thank you again for your preorder of the Canon EOS 70D DSLR Camera. We are happy to inform you that the Canon EOS 70D DSLR Camera will ship out to you by next week.
You will receive a confirmation email and tracking number once your order has shipped.
It’s our pleasure to serve you, and we look forward to serving you again in the future. Thank you for your continued patronage.

I noticed DigitalRev jacked up the price $150 sometime during the day yesterday, trying to gouge those poor bastards who simply can't wait an extra 3-4 days.

You guessed right. Most countries agree to standards for radio communications and as long as the manufacturer can prove that they meet the standard, they are allowed to sell the product. That means one set of certification tests covers almost all countries.

Some countries have their own standards and some have restrictions on what equipment is allowed to broadcast.... For those places the only real solution is to remove wireless functionality. It can be as simple as leaving out a component, such as a wireless transponder, and a slightly different firmware with those functions removed from the menu.
