Hey Guys….I got mine on Wednesday @ 3:30pm. I am truly amazed at how well the camera takes pictures at such high ISOs. I haven’t messed with the video yet…I’m sure it will be sweet.

A tip: If you are looking for a camera try calling remote, small Mom and Pop Camera dealers. I did this and pre-ordered two months ago and was 2nd on the list. Those that put cash down went up the list. Usually the lists are very short. It might be worth a try calling.

Quick question…I’m looking at fisheye lenses. What do you guys recommend to go with the 5D mark II and why?

Hello All,
I just received confirmation from my local retailer here in Central California that they are going to try to ship the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but if not they will ship the week after. He spoke to his Canon rep a few days ago. I’m confident we are going to be getting our cameras by the end of week 1 in Dec. I’m #2 on the waiting list…. :)

I also checked with Vistek about dates here in Calgary and I also got the same date Dec 4th. But they did warn me that it could be up to mid Dec before the camera arrives.

canon is shooting themselves in the foot with the competitor’s price (d700) down at henry’s to $2970. so either canon is really arrogant or really stupid, but my guess is, it will backfire.
i’m not getting 5d2 until the prices are down again.

Aden Camera told me this morning that they’ll be receiving the 5D Mark II shipment first week of December. They’re pretty positive that all pre-orders to-date will be fulfilled. I guess we just have to wait and see.
