I got my Canon 5D from Amazon because it was $100 cheaper then B&H. The order was processed by Amazon and shipped from Amazon: not another linked retailer like they have for some other photographic equipment. Items I have received from Amazon have always been new. |

I was sure Engadget misread it, but I have read it myself now - several times - and have no idea what Canon is playing at. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me. Nikon has compressed RAW which reduces the filesize by about half - losslessly - so I just don't get it. |
