Timing

skydog · 9th of April 2008 (Wed)

For those that keep up with this...early last year (2007) Canon announced the Mark III and the 40D. Even after the announcement it was not until Oct/Nov did the large distributors like B&H have the camera. I know many of the pro shooters had the camera earlier (who is their source), but for the general consumer it seemed to be 9 months after the announcement. So even if Canon announced a new camera today, how long would it take someone to really have the opportunity to get one?

You've answered your own question. If Canon announce a camera today, then by your reckoning it will in 9 months...

That's not correct, the 40D was announced in July and deliveries started just a couple of weeks later, I had mine mid August. The 1D mkIII is another story as it usually is with the pro models.
