Tomorrow is here, and the 7D (new) is back on B&H's list at the same, old price it's always been.

Alan, for people who must buy from B&H and Adaroma, you are probably right if the price is without rebate, I'm not sure if it is always been though. I usually go with ebay, I remember it was about $1450 for a new 7D pre-earthquake. but today, they still selling for $1750 which is higher than the B&H, I expect they will lower their price if the supply chain is back to normal completely.just 2 cents.

Briefly. Yes. Check out the price history graph at Canon Price Watch. It also shows that we're still $100 above the typical pre-quake pricing.

People watch the prices close enough to track it like the stock market....interesting

If that continues, the lensrentals business model is looking like absolute genius.

Watching the prices help me know the "personality"of a camera store.so I know which one like to have reasonable price and which one tends to "rip off".[]


anyway, for the price of 7D, i'm pretty sure it was between $1430-$1470 in most of the time last year in some ebay stores(Canon Authorized, US version, brand new, without rebate, fast shipping, good service). so I think those price watching or price charts should include these stores too.


$1700 for a 7D? no, thanks[]

I wonder if I cantrade options on my gear. Maybe open a margin account with B&amp;H.

WOW, by checking my collection of lenses, I have to agree[]


option plus margin, Rick, you are the most aggressive risk taker I have ever seen[Y][]
