They have gone into voluntary liquidation. It's sad because they were my local pro dealer and served me very well over the years. More pro dealers are set to fall by the wayside if Canon keep up their demands for upgraded premises, studio hire and such like. The current economic climate just doesn't support big capital investments.

Also be aware that there are significant price rises predicted for Jan 09. Anything from 10-20% is forecast.

Anybody got their hands on a 5d MkII yet?

Strange as it may sound, many prices have already risen as a result of the Vat decrease .

In being forced to look at their prices to adjust the vat rate, a lot of places have already begun to remove any 'offers', and to push up the prices due to changes in the £/$ rate .
