Is the 5D price up?

Just looking over at B&H and the 5D is listed at $2,299, isn' t that higher than what it's been beyond even taking into consideration the rebate which was somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 wasn't it?

In a way it makes me feel good, I paid $3,799 for mine with the 24-105, 2 batteries and a really decent case a year ago. I don't feel so bad anymore, yes it's gone down but not as much as when people were saying there were places you could get the camera body for $1,599, now that made me feel a little cheated.

With the rebates, it was 1899 for the body, and 2599 for the kit. The rebate was 300 bucks...which would put the body at 2199. However, by what you are describing here, yes, the body has gone up.

Oh well...I've had mine for almost two years now...and with the triple rebates, paid almost around what a new one costs now. Not bad for 2 years' worth of depreciation.

Yup, it went up about 100-200 at places over the weekend.

So the kit was 2699 IIRC last week on amazon. then it jumped to about 2800, Now, overnight, the kit (24-105) is $2,999.00.

How is this possible?

Low supply, high demand.

Man this makes me feel so much better now that I got it while it was on rebate!

Seriously. Same here, though, it was for my wife's b'day present.

that is what i already expect before the spring rebate over, after each promotion, retailers will bump up the price, to make recent buyers happy, but for how long??? probably a little over 30 days, when return policy expires.

Good point on the 30 days.... and right in line for the new 5D to be announced.

Weird how it all ties in together now, isn't it?

it is weird..
are you saying my feeling of happiness only short lived? oh wait.. I am already looking for another body... lol

Wow! I just check the prices @ BH and their prices gone up again. The 5D body is $2399 and with the 24-105 kit lense, the price is $3099. Something must be up with the new 5DMII or they're very proud of their pricing.

Yeah during the rebate, their price went up $100 I got caught in that and ended up getting the camera someplace else due to it.

WOW--the price for the kit lens version is $3299 at Amazon!!! That's over $800 more than I paid in May. What's up with that??

It's under $3k at newegg.

Still, these prices are crazy!!!!

You can get a brand new USA model Canon 5D with full warrenty for $2000 from a very reputable dealer.
