*UPDATED* When is All of the New Stuff Going to Ship?

[privatebydesign]

115.708 INR translated to 1731 USD..... : :

That's before the 2 or 3 markups by the time it gets to the consumer.

That will be a FOB price, it means the cost at the point of departure when ownership is changed. The buyer will be responsible for the international freight charges as well as the insurance and import taxes and duties. Then there is the importer/distributor costs, adverts, sponsorship, storage , insurance and redistribution costs. Then there is the dealer costs and hopefully a profit. All told the dealers won't make more than a few hundred dollars, if that, per body.

Re: When is All of the New Stuff Going to Ship?

Does this mean stock will be available in September?

No.

It means deliveries will begin to the 100K or so photographers who pre-ordered. Expect stock to be on the shelves after Christmas, maybe a little sooner if sales are slow, so if you want one, pre-order. B&H and Amazon tend to get more pre-orders than they can fill, they are the last place I'd pre-order a new camera. Since its full price everywhere, contact your local camera shop as soon as its announced, and put in your order, you may find that you get a camera sooner.

Nah. I never pre-ordered and was able to get high demand stuff like 5D2 or 24-70 2/8 II right away. Just gotta hit the right places and you'll get one in plenty of time for fall sports, weddings, foliage, etc, first week of release.

Has anyone done a pre-order directly through Canon USA? What kind of time frame would this offer versus B&H or Amazon?

Canon ships Cameras to dealers ahead of the release date. Everyone is supposed to hold any received early and ship on the same date. Canon ships on the same release date, so there is no difference.

However, I have seen that B&H gets more orders than then can fill on popular new models, so some end up waiting for subsequent shipments. Your local camera dealer will get one for you, and you won't have to wait for shipping. They are the same price, so if you want it sooner, go local.
