WTB 50D Release Date Rumor

[djw1969]

Paying extra for rumor of delivery within 7 days.

Come on! If you have the knowledge, share it! :)

[nofotomojo]

Not sure what that date is, but the 60D is two weeks later :p

[djw1969]

Probably means nothing, but the 50d kit is no longer available on circuitcity.com.

There was a period of time on circuitcity.com where the nikon d90 kit was removed from circuit city (for pre-orders) just prior to being made available for normal orders.

Maybe we are getting close?

Camera shop here says Sept. 22 for first delivery

[scokar]

I'll sell you a rumour of the release date. Do you have any buyer references on this or any other boards ? :)

[djw1969]

No references here but I can tell you my son is on the football pitch tomorrow at 1 and I am hoping for an overnight miracle at one of my local retailers! :)

'Arriving in 6 days', if you believe them.

[djw1969]

Pre-order now and receive with your EOS 50D the following FREE items:


Sandisk Extreme III 8GB CF card (5111823)
Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag (5134824)

Hard to click the pre-order button with a vendor you have never used. I wish B&H said something other than Oct. 6, and I reckon they have a billion pre-orders already.

Hopefully they made enough...

I have received info from a different UK retailer stating that they expect the 50D on Friday or at the start of next week.

Sep 27th?! wow thats suprisingly early. I thought it would be atleast December just in time for christmas.

[Professor Tom]

I called Canon and they said "October 15."

The 27th does look promising ... at least in Japan!

Hopefully it comes with the 18-200 and you can get a deal on that.

I thought they would release this when photokina starts, not before. Japan should get the cameras first!

[djw1969]

All I have read is that Malaysia has gotten the 50d. Have not seen any reports from any other countries.

Canada was supposed to have them yesterday, but they are now saying 10 days.

Sadly, it may be 2 more weeks for U.S.

Hmmm I figured if Malaysia has them they would immediately start shipping out but so far, auctions on ebay are still void of the 50d.

[ryanyboy]

Got mine yesterday from big camera chain in the UK.

So far - VERY pleased with it.

[qadsan]

The Best Buy in Burbank California had a few 50D's in stock earlier today.

[DigitalSpecialist]

Best Buy in St. Louis already has three for sale. I had my hands on the demo this afternoon.

[entrophy]

Ill check the the bestbuy here in Irvine tomorrow and give a report

[Cougar548]

I just called in Kansas City and we don't have them yet, however he did give me a date of October 5th. Here's to hoping!

[jamesn]
