Canon 5D Mk II shipping this week!

David Barry · #1 11-24-2008, 12:26 PM

I just got a call from my salesman at Adorama to let me know that my 5D Mk II is due to ship Friday this week or next Monday at the latest.

Finger's crossed!!

David.

I haven't heard a word one on my (local dealer) pre-order but glad to hear the time is near.

Interestingly, B&H still isn't taking orders so this pipeline may be starting with a small trickle.

I'll be very interested to see some 'production' model reviews by our members. The 50D that I had hoped to buy seemed to be generally not worth the upgrade from the 40D according to most reviews I've seen.

I also got a call from Adorama this morning. I was told next Monday for a ship date. I placed an order for a spare battery. They aren't in stock yet. I ordered a body only. Can't wait

Mine will be in the local shop (Park Cameras) here Fri afternoon :-) Should be fun, I can try the thing out on Sat :-)

They're here! Battery is now charging, we shall see what happens later.

Crap weather outside, so no outside shots to prove it's worth. Bleh.

Looking forward to reading your initial impressions, Richard.

Still waiting to hear something about mine. Since I procrastinated for 10 days or so, I'll be further down in the queue.
