And as they are usually ridiculously priced, I was surprised to see that the items actually come out cheaper than they are selling for on the used market.

5D2 for 2,123.99

Also, they have sale price on some of their lenses. Been thinking of snagging a 55-250 for the wife, and Best Buy's price is now $199.

Here are their lenses:

That's weird, BestBuy usually does this only when new models are about to come out. 5DM3 anyone?


Gear: Sold :cry:

Wow, talk about some good prices. BB is usually never this good for prices. Should be a good for all the people wanting the mk II from the CLP program.

Negative.. it hasn't shown up anywhere even testing them so there's no way they're already making room for something that hasn't even been announced. I got my 5dii from BB with a 10% off coupon last year so I was happy then.

Tried ordering the S95 and 5DMII - can't be shipped and no in-store pick-up available at ANY store within 100-200 miles (bay area, central valley).

I've seen this from BestBuy before. They offer great deals, but no stock to sell (in-store or online)and they won't offer backorders/rain checks for that price either. It's useless.
