I know, I know...we can speculate and read rumors until our eyes bleed...but only Canon knows when they will release new gear.
But...I've noticed something lately. The 5D mk II is being drastically reduced in price. I bought one 3-4 weeks ago for $500 off the list price. Today, I get an E-flyer from a competing camera store, and they are selling it for $700 off the list price. That's less than $2000.
Unfortunately for me, the first store, while why do have a price match policy, it only extends for two weeks after purchase. Missed it by that much.
But can we read something into this? Is Canon allowing these stores to discount the 5D mkII in order to clear their stock, to make room for a replacement model? That would make perfect sense...but who knows?
Anyway, if you are thinking of buying a 5D mkII in Canada, check out Vistek.ca. (or use that to have another store price match).
