A CPS member from Vancouver, B.C. picked up a 1Dx body from a local store in the suburb of Delta yesterday. Used it to photograph a bike race. He let the sales clerk, who is a friend of his, handle it for a short while. The sales clerk said it was very impressive.

I asked when would it be available to non CPS members, and he told me around late September, early October.

But at least there are a few already trickling in to local retailers here in Canada.

Canadians always get the glory...last.:p

They're just saving the BEST for Last!!:p

I'm a CPS member, If you meet the criteria, apply to become a cps member, its paid for itself about 3 times already this year. I just picked up a 17mm TS-E and saved 400 bucks. Saved almost twice the cost of the membership, and I still have all the other bennies too.

You get a discount with your membership? How does that work?

well, I'm not sure how it works for online shoppers, but I've registered my membership with the local Mcbain Camera. Canon gives people with CPS "pro pricing" on all their professional gear. Some things you would think are pro, aren't, like the 5D3, so you get no discount, but every L lens I've inquired about is significantly cheaper.

Like I said, its a "Canon" discount, so you should be able to get the discount at any retailer if you can prove your a memeber.

No, there are different cps division for each country/region. They all have different programs.

No, unfortunately I cannot afford the 1DX, but I am always on the lookout for Canon discounts!

I'll just settle for the camera please......!

At this rate it's not inconceivable I'll clock up a year on pre-order (I ordered 19th October 2011).

If anyone is looking for one or doesn't want to wait for their preorder, there is one for sale here... https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1206293
