The EOS 5DS ($3699) was announced, but not available for pre-order because the camera does not yet have FCC approval. To get notified the instant the 5DS are available for pre-order, use our notification system to sign-up for pre-order notifications on the EOS 5DS or notifications on the EOS 5DS R.
Since yesterday’s launch we’ve had a surprising surge in interest for the 5D Mark III and 6D. If you have read the EOS 5DS specs and decided the camera is just not for you (or are not willing to wait until June), there are still some excellent deals on the 5D Mark III and 6D as retailers continue to clear them out:
The 5D Mark III is only $2149 (might be import) from GetItDigital via eBay. As recently as yesterday, readers have recently reported receiving Canon USA warranty cards on 5D Mark III purchases from this store. (Recent purchases of the 1D X for $4199 have been without warranty cards — likely grey market.) If you prefer an authorized dealer with a guaranteed Canon USA warranty, our street price is $2399 AR.
We also have the EOS 6D brand new from an authorized Canon USA dealer with a full Canon USA warranty for $1299 after the $300 Canon-mail in rebate.
How is Getitdigital reputation ? Ihv been thinking of ordering a lens from them – the 18-135 IS STM.
I bought a 6D from them during black Friday. The only problem I had was that I called back after I ordered to switch payment. ofcourse that locked up the money twice. one on each card. But they answered the phone. answered emails. and if I get another good deal again , ill buy from them. It is grey market.
As expected
Great service…if you are looking for new Canon equipment use this service..
Does this mean that production of the Canon 5D Mark III will be discontinued when the 5DS and 5DS R are available?
No, the 5diii will be replaced when the 5div comes out. The 5dr and 5ds are totally different animals and are geared towards a different demographic.
