It has the same white box marked \"Sample\" as the pre-prod copy I tried. This is probably still a pre-prod.
Did the site speficifically say it\'s a production camera?

And in other news...
The Akihabara Website is reporting that they\'ve received a production copy of the EOS 5D Mark II. Apparently, Canon has begun shipping the camera to the press for review.
The EXIF data from the samples provided by Akihabara show firmware version 4.1.1. The previous pre-production models we\'ve seen all had version 3.6.1.
I really think that in a few lucky places in the world, the camera will hit store shelves before the end of the month --- about two to three weeks before the USA.
