Official Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 - User Thread

[tecnica]

place ur name in shops yet? think first batch all chop up by ppl who pre-ordered

No leh cause I need to sell my entire crop setup to fund mk3.

I think I will wait it out first.

 

[esoeij]

Dunno, didn't ask about the 24-70 Mk2. I saw the TK Foto waitlist, I think less than 20 names.

i think if name is not in the first 10-20.. can forget about it liao. anyway.. good stuff is worth the wait ! is the MK 2 of 24-70 release on the same date?

Although by no means cheap, but it's lower than what most have speculated. With street price being lower than RRP, I can predict huge demand for this cam immediately.

Cheaper than most expected it will be.. but street price will still be 4k+++ which is no small amount to most of us folks :S

 

[larlarloo]

I hope I can get it in time before I go on holiday next month! :cheergal::cheergal:

It seems that my price prediction of between $4,500 to $4,999 is accurate afterall! :bsmilie:

Lucky its only around SGD$300 more from the US set cause of the low exchange rate. I was thinking if its $4999, it will be a horrible for us & we'll see ppl flocking to HK to buy.

hmm.. more like those peeps in Japan (refer to my pricing in Japan thread: body only ~ SGD$5,500) will just fly over to Hong Kong (close proximity only!) to buy there! :bsmilie:

Likely Malaysia street price will be lower
