For those that didn’t pre-order a few months ago, the chance at getting the new Canon 5D Mark II seemed rather bleak.  However B&H Photo was one retailer that did not do early pre-orders.  Obviously I have been refreshing their page hourly to find out if they have any in stock.

I got word on DPReview.com that B&H started taking phone only pre-orders today.  Needless to say I called them up and was let down when the salesman said no such thing was occupying.  I called them back an hour later after seeing more people getting theirs ordered.  This time, I was successful.  I even got the same salesman I had earlier.  I received my email confirmation and am pretty excited.  They aren’t sure exactly when they are supposed to receive their shipments, but reports indicate that it maybe this coming week which marks the start of December.

I’ll certainly be posting a review as soon as I receive it.
