Canon Canada appears to have increased the price of the 5D from $2799 to $3099. I already put down $300 at the $2799 price. I am now trying to find out where I stand. If I have to pay another $300 I will cancel my order. I have bought a lot of expensive equipment from Canon and right now I do not have a good feeling about further dealing with them if this costs me more.

why not buy used? you can get a mint 5D for about $1300.

Not unlike the first price announced for the 1DMKIII. Canon saw the huge number of preorders and raised the price $500.

Wait a couple months after the release and the price will drop.

Yesterday buydig.com had the 50D body for $1199. $200 drop.
