Don't know about the price...

But the photo they have listed is of a 5D actually.

From B&H's 30D page: Important Notice!
This is a new item. It is not available yet. We have no arrival date at this time.


Just what my research has told me.

I believe that the price is a little high. The reason that is is because this is an early adopter price.

This means that if you REALLY want this camera, you can pay a bit of a premium and get it before anyone else on your block (or country) does.

The local stores here in Taipei told me that there's a major production or distribution node in Australia, so they get them before everywhere else, even earlier than countries in Asia.

I don't know how true that is, but that's what he said.

People on DPReview.com have reported being able to buy this camera for a couple of weeks now.

Seeing as they don't take Paypal or Credit, and just want money order type of payment (i.e. no refund or theft protection) and seeing as they have a picture of a 5D and a 30D, I'd assume that this is a scam.

The MSRP of the new 30D is 1399 for the body and 1499 with the EF-S 18-55 kit lens.
