Canon EOS 5D beginning to ship in Europe, Canada
The Canon EOS 5D appears to be landing at dealers
in parts of Europe, based on the number of enthusiastic first-use reports we've
received since September 24, 2005 from photographers in the UK, France and
Germany. We've also heard from two pro photo retailers in Canada that their
initial allotments of Canon's newest double-digital megapixel digital SLR are to
arrive today (along with the first EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM stock
also).
In the U.S., shipping of the EOS 5D is still
expected to commence next week, says Chuck Westfall, Director of Media &
Customer Relationship at Canon USA. This is on target with the early October
2005 release planned for the camera in the U.S.
