If Canon had any doubts about how well the Canon EOS 5D Mark II would sell during this economic crisis, all of those doubts would have disappeared long ago, some 3 months after first hitting the shelves the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is still in short supply. This US$2700 camera with its ultra sharp HD Video Recording and Low light performance, is every photo and tech geeks must have, Just do a search in Twitter for “5D Mark II” you will see tweet after tweet of reports of proud new 5D Mark II owners who would not swap it for the world.

So why is during this economic down turn people are still willing and able to fork out US$2700 (US$3500 with lens) for this, is there a segment of the community who are unaffected or don’t expect the crisis to affect them, or is it the economic crisis is over reported in the media?

It’s a hard one to call, but whatever the reason Canon really hit the nail on the head with the 5D Mark II, both in terms of marketing and the features/specs.

If you are still trying to buy a Canon EOS 5D Mark II Adorama have been shipping quicker than all other Camera retailers and I have been told they are expecting another shipment very soon, which is not yet fully allocated to customers, so get in and order quick before they are allocated.
