from what I hear, by end of next week or beginning of the week after, at latest, if you are willing to pay local sales tax it should not be too much of a problem to get one (and even by today or friday, if you don\'t live near NJ, haha) all the little guys I talked too seemed to think anyone would be able to walk in and get one the day they arrive, no problem. The frenzy is mostly about internet order places that let you avoid sales tax and a few of the more famous, well-trafficked smaller shops.
Anyway, just my impression. And, of course, this is a rather US-centric view. I don\'t know about elswhere, best of luck.
also my impression that canon is EVIL. Seeing how almost everywhere BUT the home territory of the NY Yankees fan base appears to have already received stock, or will so by Friday. EVIL I tells ya. DIVEST FROM CANON!
Either that or they are tracking my posts and making sure that wherever I am will not get them first, just in case I do end up, by some miracle, getting a pass to shoot the actual last soccer next week (NCAA finals) or the park suddenly starts allowing regular patrons to bring camera in again. EVIL I tells ya! In fact, I wouldn\'t be surpised if at least 98% of their total budget is devoted to tracking my posts and foiling me every step of the way haha. Actual cost of 5D MkII development and parts.... $39.95. Cost of development, parts and foiling me.... priceless. Diabolical.
anyway, hope everyone who has one is well satsified and loving it and having a blast. take lots of pics of those 6-legged Madden turkeys and turkduckens and other traditional thanksgiving monstrosities. and make sure AI Servo is on, they can be feisty.
