Either way I\'m not convinced that I should be happy about paying $450 more than a price announced 4 weeks ago.
At least NIKON are giving retailers until 12th November before a price rise.
Those 5D2\'s are in a shipping container somewhere between Japan and Vancouver as we speak, the prices didn’t rise midway in the Pacific. The increase should have been on the next batch.
Really I can\'t see why anybody is trying to defend Canon for jacking up the prices in Canada, especially posters from the US telling us we are whiners for complaining about this.
Are you trying to prove some point? We are not happy and I think those of us who have pre-ordered have a right to be annoyed.
Those of you in the States, you are alright Jack, why care about us? You obviously have no sympathy, why dispute our right to be annoyed at Canon? They have lost a lot of good will from Canon customers. You Yanks telling us we have nothing to complain about isn’t gonna put $450 back in my pocket.
No, the increases have to be on the first batch. The camera was designed and built in Japan and Japanese R&D dollars were used to create the camera.
Now, the loonie takes one of the largest weekly declines since 1970 and you are expecting to have the same purchase power for imported goods, unfortunately things dont work that way.
Sometimes things like this work to your advantage sometimes they don\'t.
