The 50MP EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R will be available to pre-order at most major camera stores tonight at midnight ET, according to the availability date listed on B&H’s site.
Availability is scheduled for the end of June.
Savvy readers have noticed that Camera Canada, an authorized Canon Canada dealer, already has the cameras available for pre-order. After adding shipping (about $40) and converting to USD at current exchange rates, the final price is about $350-$400 less than the US dealer price, about a 10% savings.
- EOS 5Ds: $4099.00 (Canadian $), final price approx. $3350 USD
- EOS 5Ds R: $4299.00 (Canadian $), final price approx. $3500 USD
Historically, Canadian camera bodies have come with Canon USA and Canada warranty cards good for warranty in both countries, but this is yet to be confirmed specifically for the EOS 5Ds.
