Looking for 5DmkII - 01-17-2009, 10:29 AM


Hi Guys,

It's been a couple of weeks so hopefully some things have changed :-)

Does anyone know any stores that have the 5DmkII in stock? It's finally time to upgrade the wife's camera.

Cheers
James

I heard that Competitive Camera here in Dallas had a couple of body and lens kits in stock as of yesterday. Don't think they have any that are body only though.

Can't you just go to Camera Co-op and put a deposit on one from their next shipment?

I got one (body only) last weekend up at the Woodlands Best Buy (they had 3), so it may be worth calling around. Do a quick search on this forum because there was also a 10% off coupon, not sure if it's expired. Adorama also appears to have some in stock...

it seems back ordered everywhere, so why don't you wait a little bit. Just get your wife a diamond instead, get the 5D MK II later when it is in stock.

Best Buy has a locater on their site... I drove to one way out of the way (150 miles) to get one for my mom. Call ahead and some managers will hold it until 7:00 or 8:00 pm that day. Just make sure they hold the mk II and not the old 5d.
