Overnight Camera-warehouse.com.au have issued the below press release, saying that the Canon EOS 5D Mark II will hit Australian for Christmas with availability from late November. The RRP is stated as AU$4299 for the body and AU$5799 for the Camera and lens kit, however they mention street prices to be $4000 and $5200 respectively.

From my personal research street pricing for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in Australia is looking a bit lower than that with the body at least already seen as low as AU$3785.

Below is the press release:

Canon EOS 5D Mark II to Hit Australia for Christmas

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, November 12, 2008 Canon have released pricing information for their much anticipated EOS 5D mk II full-frame digital in Australia today, just in time for the full force of the Christmas marketing engine to take effect.

Available as body only and with a 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens, this camera will attract only those with money to burn (not many of those around at the moment), or with an existing 5D who know the difference a full-frame sensor can make.

With an RRP of AU$4,299 for the body only and $5,799 for the lens kit, this is not a cheap option. Street prices are expected to come in around $4000 and $5200 respectively (source: http://www.camera-warehouse.com.au/p/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii).
