Question: Anyone pre-ordered this and got it yet? I know the camera is released.  I'm wondering how many 5D Mark II's, Amazon has received from canon.  I pre-ordered on September 18th and haven't gotten an email update from Amazon yet.  A few days ago, the status said that the camera would arrive after December 25th but now that status has disappeared and it reverted back to 'we need more time to give you a shipping date.'  Anyone else have any more information?
Document: I pre-ordered a Canon 5D2 on September 17.I emailed Amazon on October 25 asking about the camera's ETA.Amazon replied with an apology and stated that they would upgrade my shipping to next day when the camera was received by Amazon and was ready to ship.
I have jumped from measly 20D to this and I am amazed at the leap. i am also very glad I waited. I almost bought a 5D months ago and all the props here has to go to my brother, who soundly instructed me to wait it out. And wait I did. I ordered the camera in November and got it only a few days before Christmas. Quite a present.Of course you need a few good lenses with this camera to capture it's full essence.
This is arguably the best camera currently available. But you can get it anywhere else for $2,699--I don't know what game Amazon is playing overcharging by nearly $1,000, but my query to them a week ago received a stupid reply and obviously no effort to correct this downright bogus price. Shame on you, Amazon!
Usually, Amazon is very fast in shipping, but for some unknown reason Amazon decided to ship out my 5D2 kit three whole days late when I specifically requested local express delivery. They did reimburse the extra shipping charge yet didn't provide an explanation as to why the lateness.The 5D mark II is outstanding nevertheless and picked this over both the new 5D3 and 6D as there is not a significant difference in image quality other than the super ISO ability of the newer sensors.
I received this camera on December 1st and have taken almost 500 photos so far. A mixed blend of portraits, scenics, novalty and still life - all are amazing. I've used the cameras fully "automatic" setting - and when set to "A" - am most impressed with the ISO range and how little noise is produced at high numbers. I've been a happy owner of a 5D for some time, and the upgrade to the Mark II is worth the money - believe it!
I'm thinking..Intro:I have had my Canon 5D Mark II for a little over two weeks now. And I'm having a hard time putting it down.I tried switching back to my Canon 40D and the very first thing you notice is how small, dim and fuzzy the viewfinder on the 40D is compared to the 5D Mark II. Especially if you are older you will really appreciate being able to easy see and read information in the viewfinder not to mention you can actually manually focus with it.
So, I made a point and brought the Canon 5D Mark II body to the service center in person to have it fix. When I talked to the service rep, I was told it would take 7-10 business days. However, the entire service transaction took more than two weeks to complete. When I called for status of my unit, I was told the sensor had to be replaced and it has been on back order. So, it appears that this HOT SPOT issue is more common than usual.
I just received my 5D Mk2 less than two weeks ago. I have ran it through probably 2000 actuations and just today noticed a very obvious dead pixel. I have not exposed it to any harsh conditions, although I was hoping to be able to. I am sending it back for an exchange but I am very disappointed. I will re-review when I receive the replacement. I've been putting this off and finally jumped to get this camera and just don't know how to feel.
Like many 5D Classic owners, I was looking forward to the release of the 5D Mark II, which was finally announced September 2008.There was a lot of hype, but also a lot of unjustified hate for it from the beginning.When the original 5D was released, it was the only DSLR under $4000 that was full frame. There are now three full-frame DSLRs under $3000 (currentgeneration): Canon 5D Mark II, Nikon D700, Sony a900.
I'm sure you've read through review after review, so I won't bore anyone with technical specs. I wanted to upgrade to a full frame and couldn't decide which to get. At the time the new 5D Mark III just came out and the 6D was on it's way. Amazon had this for a great price and I couldn't pass it up. Obviously you can't go wrong with this camera and I've been completely happy with it!
Answer: Check out dpreview.com's forums for a thread about this.  Amazon mislabeled the body only boxes as kits and sent them out to folks who had preordered kits.  Those of us who ordered our bodies early should have had them shipped, but have now been knocked back to round two, thanks to this cock-up.  Those who wanted kits, but received bodies only can return them, but also are being offered partial refunds, so I'm guessing that most will stay misassigned.  I'm also guessing that this means we'll see a surplus of kits and a longer wait for bodies.  Anyone think Amazon will do the right thing and offer those of us who should have received first round bodies a discount on the now surplus first round kits when they come in?
