The Canon EOS 5D Mark II should be shipping
to US Dealers as early as tomorrow (25 November 2008), according to Chuck Westfall via Rob
Galbraith’s site
Below is an excerpt from the site Rob’s
site:
“Shipments
of the Canon
EOS 5D Mark II will begin leaving Canon USA's distribution centres en route
to U.S. dealers starting November 25, 2008, says Chuck Westfall, Technical
Advisor at Canon USA. This should translate into some dealers being able to put
cameras into the hands of customers before the end of the week, though shipping
times, the speed at which dealers can absorb the arriving stock and the U.S.
holiday weekend will all impact when Canon's newest 21.03 million image pixel
digital SLR comes available in the U.S. in the days ahead.
As of this writing, we can't confirm if key 5D Mark II accessories are also
beginning to ship to retailers tomorrow in the U.S. Earlier
this month, however, Westfall had indicated items such as extra Battery
Pack LP-E6s, Battery Grip BG-E6, Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E4/E4A and
EG-series focusing screens were expected to ship at about the same time as the
camera body.”
