Anyone look at camera prices lately!? WOW!!!

[Alan]

the 7D is out of stock. I guess you can't get a new 7D for $1700 anywhere in the US right now. the cheapest price I can find is about $1900 on a ebay store which I trust. I think it's a good time to sell.

OneCall.com has the 7D listed for $1699 and free shipping. Even if it's not in stock at the moment, it's still available at the listed price. A short wait to get one wouldn't be a big deal to me. I'd be out taking pictures with a previous gen camera in the meantime.

yes Alan, you are right. Amazon is selling their 7D for $1700 but out of stock too. the thing is that how long is it going to take to back to normal.and ordering at $1700 and wait is not a good idea anyway, because when the supply back to normal, the price should be a lot less then $1700. if you can sell your used 7D for about $1350 now, you probably can buy it back brand new for the same price in few months when the supply chain back to normal. just my 2 cents.

it's been super busy

Glad to hear that is all. I can relate to that, that is why I only get to check in every couple of days or so.

FWIW, Amazon has the 5DII (body only) back in stock, so there is some movement in the supply chain. Also, depending on your ability to wait, I notice that Amazon is offering the 7D + 28-135mm kit for $1699, although it's out of stock. Still, if you order it at that price, you'll get it at that price, which the same price listed for the (also out of stock) 7D body only! Granted, it's not an ideal lens - but assuming you don't need it, you could sell it on CL, FM, or eBay and effectively knock ~$200 off the price of the 7D (bringing it down to the pre-shortage price, I suppose).

this thing is changing fast like the stock market, just checked the price, the 7D(new) is selling for $1750 on ebay, how much will it be tomorrow?

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

Alan, for people who must buy from B&amp;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&amp;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.
