Canon EOS 5D Mark II in India

Saturday, December 20, 2008

I happened to meet my photography equipment dealer yesterday, and asked him about the price of the new EOS 5D Mark II out of curiosity. The 5D, it seems will be available at Rs.139,850.00. According to him, Canon has currently frozen distribution in India until the moment they resolve firmware issues with the camera. It might take up to a month before the camera becomes available.

For those who do not know, Canon EOS 5D Mark II is the new Canon Digital SLR camera with full frame sensor, live preview and HD video capabilities. Apparently they are running out of stock in the west, and some dealers are even selling them at a premium!
