p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Any news on 5DSR shipping?


I'm still waiting for my 5DSR to come in to my my local store who ordered it for me. It must be on a slow boat from China (after being made in Japan of course). Is it true that Canon places a low priority for the small business camera stores and place them way behind the big internet outlets. Especially when it comes to sending them new releases and giving them a low profit margin on the lineup on 'L' lenses. This makes it harder for the local camera shop to compete with the big online retailers. Or is all this just a perception?

I like to support my local shop since they take care of me when and where they can. But it's not easy sometimes.

No, it's not true... much to the chagrin of the big internet outlets.

I called around and found a local store that had one in stock on the very first day of availability (and they even gave me a $175 discount off of what every other store was selling it for).

I actually had another store offer me a camera the same day, but they wanted full price for it so I passed it up... maybe I should have bought it and flipped it for a quick profit.

Actually, it is Not in stock at Adorama. If you click on the "Check Availability" link just under the Buy It Now button, it will show that it is still Backordered.

Some people actually do that. They pre-order a new release with the intent of selling it online at a small profit while it's still hot and hard to find.

Would you pay more than MSRP for one?

Nope, I'm not that desperate, But, I'm sure some people would. Here's one option to pay over $5220.00+ for a 5DSR. Probably Gray or Black Market though.

Overpriced 5DSR on eBarf (Grey Market ?)


Car dealers are notorious for adding their own in-store mark-up to popular newly released car models or special editions that trickle onto the show room floor.

I don't see any valid reason for the 5DSR to be so far behind the 5DS. Every single component between these two cameras is identical with the exception of the AA counter-filter and an "R" painted on the body. The release delay has to be a management business decision rather than parts availability. I don't know Canon intends to gain by intentionally delaying the release. If anything they are probably losing out on sales.
