Canon EOS 5D Mark II: Possibly have mine in 2 days!

Posted By Mr.Gadget Published in Digital Cameras

Yes. Just got off the phone with JB HiFi in Melbourne and they have assured me that stock of the eagerly anticipated Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR is slowly trickling in. I pre-ordered approximately 4 weeks ago and I am 13th on the list. Hopefully I’ll be giving some feedback on this spanking camera in the latter part of this week.

What makes the Canon EOS 5D Mark II so special?

There are many minor improvements with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II that I’ve talked about over the last couple of months, but for me the deal-clincher was the ability to record HD movies. Here’s one of the latest Canon 5D Mark II videos by Vincent LaForet -it is a MUST see.

For a thorough run-down on the Canon 5D Mark II and it’s specifications please check out this page at Digital Photography Review.

I called my supplier this morning – and have no idea when it’ll be here.

Also, you transposed the ‘t’ and ‘e’ in Vincent Laforet’s surname.

Thanks Will.

I chose JB HiFi because they’re a large company and generally have good prices.

jamsof, from current discussion there should be another batch of 5D Mark II’s going out to camera dealers later this week and then another next week, these should fill the majority of very early pre-orders. I have a pre-order for 5D Mark II (Lens kit) so I am hoping later this week, I am was about 4th of the list with DigiDirect, apparently they got and sold their first two on Firday.
