Well it’s here. Just not here.
China, Japan, USA, Australia and Europe have all received their limited initial shipments and the numbers aren’t too impressive. It will probably be weeks before pre-orders are filled in most places, though it looks like Australia’s numbers are the worst of the bunch.
Rumours floating around DP Review and OCAU suggest that Australia’s first retail shipment was just shy of 80 units, 7 of which were said to have made it to Western Australia — that’s not many at all.
The good news is; additional shipments should be arriving every week through December. So I’m hoping I’ll have mine in hand well before Christmas.
If you didn’t even know about the 5D MkII yet, here’s the short version:
- 21 Megapixel Full Frame Sensor
- 3.9fps RAW Shooting
- 1080p High Definition Video
- A massive 50 – 25600 ISO range
- And a lot more
