Canon 5D Mark II Deal on Buy.com
Buy.com has the Canon 5D Mark II in stock for $2279 with free shipping. It’s $2499 at most other retailers right now – although B&H Photo is giving $500 worth of video production Red Giant software with the 5D Mark II at that price, which probably makes the B&H deal worth it if you are going to be doing any serious amount of video shooting with it.
These look to be official product shots from the Sony A77, which is due to be launched later this week.

Canon 1Ds Mark IV on Canon Website
When I first saw this list for extended warranty options showing the Canon 1Ds Mark IV, I figured it was a typo since it’s pretty common to see the 1D Mark IV mistakenly listed as the 1Ds Mark IV (even on some of Canon’s sites).
However, this was actually a separate listing from the 1D Mark IV and the 1Ds Mark III, already in the chart above. And, the 1Ds Mark IV listing was a different price. [Read more…]

The Sony A35 now appears to be widely in stock and shipping. The latest translucent-mirror alternative to DSLRs looks to head up the entry-level end of Sony’s Alpha line with reports that the flagship Sony A77 will be announced next week.
The A35 sports a 16MP CMOS sensor and fast live view autofocus unlike any other manufacturer has delivered in a DSLR. It also records full 1920 x 1080 AVCHD video.
You can find the Sony A35 at B&H Photo and Amazon.com.

For the past few weeks, Canon USA has been regularly listing refurbished Canon 5D Mark II’s for $1999. They sell out pretty quick each time.
They’re back in stock now (here’s the link to the 5D Mark II page), along with solid deals on several other Canon bodies, including the Canon 60D for $799.
There are also a number of refurbished Speedlites and lenses available direct from Canon USA.
The Sony A77 was briefly featured on a nomination page for the Good Design Expo starting later this month in Tokyo. The listing confirmed several key features for the new A77, including a 24MP Exmor CMOS image sensor powered by a new BIONZ processor that will help the A77 deliver a whopping 12fps in full resolution stills.
