Canon EOS 5Ds and 5Ds R Available to Preorder at Midnight Tonight

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.

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.

    This camera will be a flop. No one cares about the most megapixels. Does canon want to lose more customers to nikon with this garbage upgrade. .

    Who ever said people don’t care about Mehapixels is fooling themselves.
