7D Availability News (POST ANY AND ALL UPDATES HERE ONLY)

Walked into Best Buy in Emeryville Ca Wednesday and bought my 7D (they had 2), came with the EF 28-135 kit lens.

PS. Anyone interested in swapping EF 28-135 for EF-S 18-135, if so PM me. I'm going to see if I can use the 10% moving coupon after the fact today.

Hey Ron,
You live right out in Emeryville? What kind of stuff do you do? I'm also from the Bay Area (San Francisco).
 
I've been following the whole 7D and 5D thing for a few months now and it seems that everyone who's had success in using those online best buy coupons had to really convince the cashier to make it work. I have a buddy who works at Best Buy so I'll ask him about bringing the coupon in after the fact, but my sense is that it won't work unless you can really "talk the talk".
Why would the coupon not work. It doesn't exclude Canon digital cameras, isn't expired, and comes directly from Best Buy themselves.

I think he was asking if he had already bought the camera at best buy and then brought in the coupon after the fact. Could he get the discount then. I think most people are getting the coupon to work when they have it in hand during purchase, but after the fact seems iffy.

Personally I'm curious where in New York is this Best Buy he got his. Or if there are any other shops in New York state that has some in stock. Body or Kit.
 
Received mine from ePhotoCraft.com and can't complain about a thing. They are still out of stock though. But they were no hassle, no worries, communicative about the pre-order list (gave me my approximate place in line). I would buy from them again without a worry. They can't be bad if they are one of the biggest photo stores in Washington, DC.

Ah ok, that makes a lot more sense :)
 
Ontario / Rancho Cucamonga / Glendora BB's still have 28-135 kits in stock, and yes the coupon works.

Got mine. Time to play.

You guys hear anything about J&R? I ordered one through them a week ago. I called and they said that I was one of 46 orders and that they would be getting 200 cameras in on their next shipment, whenever that is. I also ordered with Amazon & Adorama but no word on both.

It's tough because most of them are closed for the long holiday, but I live in NYC and will be hitting up J&R, B&H and Adorama in person next week and will give you all a report. Good to hear J&R will be getting more cameras then they have pre-orders for. Means I might be able to walk in and get one!

PS. do you know the name of the store in Peekskill where you got it? I'm actually headed upstate this Sunday. Maybe I can put one on hold and pick it up! Thanks!



I got it in Best buys in that Peekskill area mall....
 
Found one kit with 28-135 lens at a Best Buy in Albuquerque, they said it was their last of two. They even let me use the 10% coupon. :nads:

Went to Best Buy today with the 10% coupon 2 days after purchase and to my surprise they gave me the price adjustment. FYI, the Emeryville Ca best buy still had 1 left as of 5 PM today.

Yeah! Perhaps the bankruptcy of Circuit City has put Best Buy on notice that they can go away just as easily... :violent5:

Just bought a 28-135 kit at Best Buy in Woodland Hills, and they accepted the coupon. I believe they have one kit left in stock.
 
I just canceled my amazon order. I called best buy in Chicago and they can get me a kit in 3 days.

Edit: Anyone know where I can pick up this 10% off coupon?
