Many camera stores (including B&H) now show the 7D Mark II as shipping on October 30th. The stores from Canada are no exception, they’ve also announced the same ship date.
The ship date is nearing, and this also means a last call for a great pre-order bundle deal. Camera Canada, a reputable Canadian authorized Canon dealer, has the EOS 7D Mark II and EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for $2298 Canadian Dollars + $29 shipping (approximately $2080.00 US dollars, given current exchange rates).
In order to get this deal shipped on the first day (October 30th), it must be ordered by end of day Tuesday (October 21st). You can still order this bundle up to October 29th but it will not ship in the first allocation. It appears that you no longer need a Canadian address to order this deal.
The US dollar continues to strengthen against the Canadian dollar, making this an even better deal. It is like getting the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM for only $280 on top of the price of a 7D Mark II.
Our readers report paying no tax, duty, or other custom fees when purchasing from Camera Canada. Click here to check out the deal at Camera Canada. Please note the official price is $2298 Canadian dollars + shipping. We can’t predict where exchange rates will be on October 30th, as you aren’t billed until the item ships, but at today’s rates it is $2080 USD. Our readers report that Camera Canada has been open to billing in US dollars at the prevailing exchange rate, so you can ask them about this in a week when they are ready to ship the order.
We can also now report that the confusing form with a Canadian address requirement (that was the subject of much consternation) appears to be no longer required to place this bundle order. That is great news!
Ordered one. Came to $2090.28 USD using Paypal.
Finally ordered one.
What kind of warranty comes with the unit
Canon USA and Canada has same warranty.
Historically, cameras have come with a “Canon USA and Canada” warranty card. When the Canadian stores receive this item they will check to make sure this is still the case for the 7D Mark II (Canon can always change anything at any time.)
Why is this not getting a lot of love? This is such a good deal with canon warranty. I dont really care much for the lens, but if I can unload it for $700-800. That gives me the body only for $1300-1400.
Agreed!
Usually a 1 yr. warranty.
Can Camera Canada ship the gift bundle to USA addresses as well?
No, the bundle comes directly from Canon Canada, and is a mail-in offer that can only be shipped to a Canadian address.
Order in, hope its as smooth as everyone says! This is really a steal.
Shipping was listed as 0 by the way, don’t know if that will change or not.
Also the status is backordered now… 🙁
Yes, because they don’t have stock of the item yet — stock is arriving on October 30th.
Trying to decide between this and 6d with 24-105. Will probably go towards the 6d. But this 7d2 one seems to be really good deal in terms of value.
Btw, the deal is still up. Maybe last call is next Tuesday, not yesterday?
Yesterday was the last day to order to get a spot in the first allocation (on October 30th).
If you order now (up until the 29th), you can still get the deal, but the store can’t be certain that it will be the first day.
I didn’t think of it that way. Good point!
Finally pulled the trigger!! The value of this bundle is too good to pass up. Now just waiting for the refurbished 70-200 2.8 II. Selling 7D $650 24-70 F4 $650….cost for 7D Mark II $800
Allright so I pre-ordered last Tuesday after 5pm ET.
Then on Oct 22, I received an email that the order was “backordered”. Anyone know if mine will ship on 10/30 or if I ordered too late?
Anyone get a shipped notification yet? Ordered mine on the 19th. No update yet.
Same for me, I’m ordered mine on 21th. Still backordered.
Looks like the first shipment to them was not a full allocation; they are getting more today and some more early next week, and are working their way through the pre-order list in order. I don’t have an ETA on when all pre-orders would be filled, but they are working on it. I’d suggest that everyone wait patiently, this is a very good deal…
Anybody who preordered in september got any update? I preordered around 9/22, but mine is still not shipped yet. Call them a few times, but they don’t know when.
Just got my shipping confirmation email.
One week later, without updates. I hope they can ship my order by Nov 10th.
Most orders shipped. When did you pre-order, was it late?
Pre order on Oct 21th paid on 29th via paypal.
Ordered on oct. 22nd. No shipping info yet
Finally shipped! Now waiting for that fabolous Canon EOS 7D Mk II 😀
