The 1 stars are always fun to read. I liked the battery one, that was a well reported topic.
Though I do think there is a lot of firmware work to do. Which disappoints me. It seems Canon needs to address their software QC.
I'm not sure Canon would continue to have the information published if there wasn't some truth to it.
They say it's for "new orders", so perhaps what is considered the current production run was unaffected.
Besides B&H, most retailers are saying the same thing. They can't get any. A store I know with 300+ preorders on their list, got 50 cameras last week. They have no idea when the next allocation will come.
If it were applicable worldwide, I think they would have published an official English version instead of leaving us to Google Translate.
Same with why they dropped the 200-800 from the list. That lens is now in stock at Yodobashi and Map Camera in Japan, but B&H still says “New Item - Released in Ltd Qty”.
But anyone rating the camera low because of the battery situation, is just either extremely stupid, or didn't bother to read any information before buying. Or both.
The notices are global, not regional.
There are 200-800s in stock in lots of places now. This was last week.
"Released in limited quantity" just means they're filling preorders, which still exist for the 200-800.
B&H isn't really a barometer, they get the most preorders obviously, but with that, the most cancellations, non-payments.. and all of that. They do get preferred allocation based on those numbers at times.
Other US retailers are getting nowhere near their ordered quantity.
It's nowhere to be seen in Europe. long wait lists.
one store having stock doesn't nullify the 6 month claim
Lots of other stores I find by going to Canon USA, clicking on the camera and scrolling down to accessories, selecting LP-E6P then clicking on \"Where to buy.\" on the right side shows several stores across the USA that should have them in stock with links. What a long sentence.
That’s the situation a Japanese company is in when the yen is weak. If they sell to the US market (or another market with a relatively stronger currency), the buyer is effectively paying more for the same item. So, it makes plenty of sense for Canon to redistribute limited stock to countries where they’ll make more profit.
Which is more likely, that Canon is lying to perpetrate a hoax, or that they’re making a logical business decision?
