If nobody has any in stock, it's a sure sign of one of two things: either it's so durned popular nobody can keep it in stock, or Canon is about to introduce a new model and has intentionally dried up supply prior to its release.

Salt them ducats away. You'll get your dreamcam soon enough :)

The Best Buy near me had them in the local warehouse with a couple of days lead time to get them.

But I'd recommend not taking any new gear to a wedding until you thoroughly test it and know all the functions by heart. Even if that new gear is as awesome as a 5D Mark II!

I'm in best buy alot and I haven't ever seen them offered here. Maybe I'll call them and see.

and you aren't the first to mention about the risks about taking a new camera to a wedding. and I know that would be a bad idea.. and yet it is sooo tempting!!! It can be a 3rd body, and played with during the reception when stuff slows down a bit

The ones near me actually are selling them as body-only. I played with one for awhile, but am not in the market just yet. I'll make do with what I have for now.

Have you called Roberts Imaging? They're in Indianapolis, but they seem to keep 5D2's in stock fairly well.

I need to hold a sign saying: "Will work for Canon 5D MII". I'm "just" an amateur so I likely wouldn't make any money with it to pay it off. :(

I heard Arlington Camera had some in stock recently. Might be worth checking out.
