So I bought a 6d over the weekend as a backup to my 5D Mark 3, overall the IQ and the noise at high ISO is pretty great, but I cant stand not having the joystick like on the 5D Mark 3. I took it back to best buy today and the CSR was trying to give me a 5D Mark 3 for $2699 + tax. He said he was price matching from B&H yet from what I know all places are selling it for $3499. Cant help but think I should have jumped all over that deal...

You cannot get a 5D for that price anywhere :P. I would have jumped on it. The guy probably did not know what he was talking about :)

Looks like he was pricing at what BH sells the mark II for :) lol you could have had an awesome deal and they would have died.

Dam now that I see that link I'm wondering if he would have given me the kit with the 24-105. I think the only reason I didn't do it was because he was trying to act like he new everything about photography and I just couldn't stand that and he seemed to pushy.

I would think the correct price would show as soon as the bar code was scanned at the register.

Yes, but as a salesperson (who didnt know anything), he would have rang it up and changed the price. Then he would have called over a manager (who also does not know anything) for approval. They will ask what they are doing, and he will say "Price matching BH". They would then approve it.

This is quite literally how it works there :P. I used to work for Best Buy in the digital imaging department XD. One time a guy came in because he just purchased a 5D mark II (for more than the 7D he said). He was worried that he got ripped off and thought maybe the 7D was a better camera. My manager started explaining that the higher the number, the higher you are in canons line of cameras. HAHAHAHA... yeah I had to fix that :P.

There is a VERY good chance you would have walked away with a super cheap 5D Mark III :).
