Announcement of the Canon EOS 70D DSLR - Availability Update

Great fuzz and buzz today with everyone talking and commenting on the new Canon EOS 70D DSLR.
EOS 70D is addressing the photography enthusiast (once called pro-sumer) segment of the market with a brand new 20.2 mp Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor and a collection of features borrowed from the higher level EOS cameras like the 7D, 6D and 5D MkIII.
The major breakthrough however, is the Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology implemented on the new sensor, which combined with the new 18-55mm IS STM and 18-135mm IS STM lenses is promising an unsurpassed auto focusing experience in video and/or live view modes.

Canon EOS 5D Mk II + 24-105L IS USM kit at rock bottom price

Expired!

No doubt Canon EOS 5D Mk II is a discontinued model and replaced by the more feature rich but more expensive Mk III while the price gap was filled by the new EOS 6D.
Nevertheless, EOS 5D Mk II had set new landmarks and is still a dream camera in the wish list for many.  If you are in Europe and looking for a used EOS 5D MkII then you may have it brand new together with the EF 24-105L IS USM lens at the price of a used bundle.
