I drove the 160 miles round trip to pick mine up in Canton, OH. When I originally got there, they had a 5D(original) waiting for me. I informed them that wasn’t the correct product they were supposed to hold for me. So I went to the camera section and didn’t see any. I asked the 2 guys working there and they said they wouldn’t get anything like that in stock. I asked them to check their system since it showed in stock on the Best Buy website.

They punched it into their computer and their mouths hit the floor in disbelief. The one guy ran to the back and brought out the 2 boxes. They were just as excited as I was. I also got it with 18 months 0% financing. To me that makes up for any sales tax savings had I purchased online.  I canceled my order from B&H, so somebody behind me in pre-orders was one step closer to their own Canon 5D Mark II.
