Canon didn't even bother to have a launch event like they did for
the 20D and the 1dsMk2. My guess is that so many people queued
for the camera via store lists that didn't have to any marketing.
Then, got the idea that they could fleece a few photogs early on.

apparently they had a launch for "members of the press"...

maybe they thought photogs aren't interested...bunched the 5d and 1d2n together with other stuff...
 
Hi Irwan and Ah Pek

Dropped into John 3:16 Photo Supplies (phone: 65 6337 2877) and got to handle a 5D for a few minutes. It was a customer copy so no test shots or even a power on, unfortunately.

Felt very familiar to the 20D but that viewfinder is just …well … wow, especially for these older eyes.

They are selling body only for S$6500. Most of their copies are spoken for. But, they did have one pre-order free up and were expecting it to be delivered later today.

At that price though, I think I will wait a month or so or pick up one in N.Y. next month.

Andrew, yeah it seems price is a bit high especially when I can get one in Australia for AUD$4,900. I reckon Malaysia could be a better place to shop.

Cheers

Buy from Camera Electronic Service Centre in Perth (same timezone). He can sell tax free to overseas, so your looking at about A$4500, and you'll get very good service from a real brick and mortar store.

Only worry is that Camera bodies generally have a local warranty only, unlike lenses that have world wide warranty...

At an exchange rate of 1.28, plus 2% foreign exchange commission for the credit card, plus 5% Singapore GST, that is S$6169, excluding shipping and insurance.

Not worth the trouble, considering potential warranty issues.
