Looks like if it's new Canon will provide warranty service. That's good news for everybody, the price from Non Authorized Dealer is usually cheaper!. BigValueInc sold 500 5D III for $2400 last week. http://forums.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Camera-Discu...
Thank you for an honest response. I'm also holding out buying Canon gear for now. I hope Canon would do something spectacular in the near future sensor-wise. Get rid of the shadow banding as a start.
