Now that you know what to expect from future Canon cameras, how's that 5D Mark II looking? The camera itself is about 3 years old and it's held up through some of the worst shooting conditions. Even with all the new cameras out, it still holds it's ground. That's one solid product. For portrait Photographers, this Full Frame (not APS-C) camera has an even longer shelf life with it's 22 megapixel images.
Typical price on the Canon 5D Mark II with 24-105mm F4L IS (one of my favorite lenses) normally run you around $3300 bucks. Today over at Amazon it's on sale for under $2750 + Free shipping for Prime members. The lens alone is worth about $1K. Doesn't look like other websites are carrying this deal. Not quite sure why it's discounted at the moment, but you can find it (click here).

[Update] Talk about snoozing and losing! Looks like they changed the price already, and I know a few people got the deal. Congrats fellas!

Ugh! I'm going crazy waiting for mine to ship. It's been over 24 hours. That's too long! 😉

Confirmed. Got the shipping notification from Amazon. Pumped.

I was a lucky one that bought it for $2,750, plus I had a $100 gift certificate. I also found a buyer for the lens since I was interest in buying the body only. So that person also got lucky, since I sold the lens for $750. $1,900 for a 5D MK II body is not a bad deal; not a bad deal at all.

I've got the same pack for less than 2000€ on french website a month ago ;o)
Euro is King !!!

Post author@Jordan Mederich - I have no idea if this was a pricing mistake. I know for a fact though there was one time Amazon (not third party) had a price mistake, and they honored it. If you purchased too many, they only honored one for each person, but they did honor it.
Michael
for once I got something BEFORE the switch back!

My money says they retract the offer like they did with the SUPER cheap flash from last week. I hope for your guys' sake it doesn't, but Amazon is smarter than to lose like that.

The thing is i still have the page loaded w/ "sale" price on my phone, but when i went to my laptop to finalize the deal it changed
Emm
Post author@Jorgiepoo - LOL!! Damn, talk about you snooze you lose. That was a heck of a deal gone in like a few minutes..
Jorgiepoo
oh dang, i think they just changed the price 🙁
Michael
Purchased this deal and will sell the lens on CL or ebay. $1900 for a brand new 5D MK II body ain't bad! Thanks Em!

Each time B&H is out of stock of the 5DII, or there's a sale on them, I get my hopes up that they're reducing stock because it's going to be replaced by the 5DIII. Looks like I won't be buying a "B" camera for a while, regardless.

That's great. too bad they don't have the epic price drop on just the body. SIGH.
So what does this mean? Canon had their huge event and told us about the c300, the new lenses, and they have some sort of magical concept dslr that looks huge. there's also the 1dx. where's the 5d mkiii? or anything similar? The dslr w/a video function for amateurs. The 1dx and the concept dslr are huge. I don't need that and I'm sure a lot of other people don't need it either. Sigh.
