Apparently B&H received a shipment from Canon - this would be a good time to check any other previously OOS Canon product (there have been many) you are looking for.

Sold out: And while on the in-stock topic, B&H also has the still-hard-to-get-9-months-later Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body and 24-105mm IS L Lens Kit versions in stock.

 
Gone: Act immediately: B&H has the awesome new Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Lens in stock. These have been lasting for only a few minutes.

 
Gone in about 5 minutes: Act immediately: B&H has the Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Lens in stock.

Stuff for sale ... These offers are available within the cUSA. To be fair to everyone, all items will remain for sale until I receive a firm "I'll take it" under agreed-upon conditions. I will accept Paypal if shipping to the verified address. Email me if you are interested in purchasing.

Canon TS-E 24mm L Lens - $875 shipped
This is the original version of this lens. It is like new except for a tiny fleck of paint missing near the serial number (smaller than the center of an 0 in that number). Includes hood (couple of very small rub marks), pouch and manual (no box).

Sold: Canon 580EX II Speedlites - $325 shipped
I have three of these to sell (had 9 for a project - no longer need this many). Comes in box with pouch, mini stand and manual. These might have a tiny bit of tape residue, but otherwise they are in excellent condition - no dents or scrathes of any significance.

I spent the last day and a half traveling to/from the Canon USA Press Conference in New York City. Notably absent from yesterdays new product announcements were DSLRs and lenses. So for now, we will have to entertain ourselves with the new:

PowerShot G11
PowerShot S90
PowerShot SX20 IS
PowerShot SX120 IS
PowerShot SD980
PowerShot SD940

Here is the Canon Press Release.
