Sorry do you mean 5D2 price?
Have been waiting for this moment to grap one. LOL:gbounce:
 

Wow... That is amazing. Now that put a more challenging choice question between 7D & 5D2...

Seriously the AF on the 5D is really a headache for fast prime other then the center AF point and they are so near to the center i have problem not to recompose if i required my subject near or over the line of thrid.
But once focus hit on, the IQ is stunning. :D
yup, that is the same reason why i've decided not to buy the 5d2 and stick to the 5D! hopefully it will improve on the 5D3? please canon, stop re-using AF modules from 20 years ago!
 

is it a grey set? even the US prices haven't dropped that low...
 

I remember someone questioning if many of the people slagging the 5Dmk2 actually have any experience with it.

I almost closed my wallet after reading all the doom and gloom comments around here. After a few weeks of wavering (which is quite unusual for me). I took the plunge and was blown away. Viewing the first set of test shots on the 24-105, my brain went fuzzy. It's like shooting slides on the M series. The colours, the resolution, the vibrancy.

One month later. I am seriously considering paying up $400 for the extended warranty.

Going to holland in 2 hours time.
If 5D2 is going for so low, gonna ignore it's lousy AF system for a better unity crop factor.
 

confirm, just called them and it is 2960$ body and 4276$ body + 24-105L w/o GST.
Either 5DM3 coming out or they get insane.

Edit
===
2 days ago i went to orient and they were selling body only for 36xx$. It is drop of 700$.

you mean you bough 5D2 body for 2960 :o.

i got mine for $3167 (gst included), paid in cash.
no freebies. no screen protector. no compactflash.
at holland v parisilk.

i wanted to get from my usual haunt ms color but they quoted me $3750.
i mentioned to them about the canon website and they told me to wait 1 day.
i guess florence wasn't around so nobody could decide.

then i called parisilk, told them about the website and they came back to me with $2960 within 30 seconds! the rest is history.. :)
 

OMG no stock at a lot of place. Those with stock remain their price. :(

did u try cathay? they quoted me $3280.

when i was at holland, they had 2 more sets left.
 

Is this a sales trick? What if next week they come out with M3???
 

The more likely scenario would be to anticipate Nikon's launch of D700 successor. I doubt the 5D3 would be launched anytime soon.
 

Yalor!
Maybe 5DM3 will be priced about 3800 so need to drop current 5DM2 price.

I dun think so lah :bsmilie::bsmilie: but i wish

every where oso not dropping oni spore drop? 5DMKIII Spore edition arh? :bsmilie::bsmilie:

did anyone compare Spore prices with and without GST with the rest of the world?
is this a price adjustment to be inline with the rest of the world?

could it be SGD strengthening against the Yen? anyone compared the yen? maybe this is the first thing to drop den followed by the rest

Canon rumor never smell any 5DMKIII yet leh
