But it did. The depreciation of the CAD dollar only occurred in the last couple of months. Canon have not sold a single 5D II or committed themselves to a firm price to anybody. Their MSRP is just that - a suggested retail price. Canon Japan had not jacked up their price at all - the price is still the same .... in yen, of course. They are not gouging or profiting from this price increase. If the CAD dollar had appreciated instead of depreciated, the price of the 5D II in Canada could actually be lower than here in USA i.e. it could have gone either way. It\'s a roll of dice, and you lost, unfortunately.

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.
