As one grows up, the excitement of Christmas diminishes... you know what your getting (socks) and it's focus drifts away from the presents and more towards spending time with your family and friends...

But this year... this year.... i can not wait for Christmas morning!!!!! I feel like a 10 year old kid eagerly anticipating the nintendo shaped box under the tree... Why am i so excited this year?... well let me tell you! While finding a hiding spot for my wifes present at home (macbook air), i was rummaging at the back of the guest room closet to see if there was space there, i found a 5d mkiii kit!!!! :D soooo.... it is there, 15ft from where i sleep.... and i can't touch it until the morning of the 25th! Hence the excitement... I just hope she charges the battery for me! :)

Anyway, this has no real relevance to anyone, but since i don't have many photo-buddies (recently moved to india) here so i needed to share... now i need to act all nonchalant so my wife doesn't find out...

I hope you all have a great Christmas season and a happy new year... :)

-> carefully open the box
-> take out the original camera

-> buy a disposable camera, and label it "5DMkIII" with a black marker
-> put it into the box and seal

now, when it comes to unwrapping, quickly(!) pull out the 5D to frame the expression of her face.
Great photography is all about being well prepared ;)

My wife can't tell the 5DmkII from the 60D, and she's used the 60D on a trip :o

This is the absolutely BEST and MOST HILARIOUS post I've ever read on one of the photog fora...Merry Christmas, adhocphotographer...well as I said in the days before the 5D3s official announcement: "there is joy in the waiting..." 8) And be aware: The 5D3 is an awesome camera! Bought one in August, payed the premium but it was worth every swiss franc! Took some 2.4k photos to date.

Thanks... i had to share and I'm glad it spread some cheer! I'm loving all the possible fun i could have with this, but knowing my wife, i don't think she wants me to find it... so all i've done is charge the battery and place it back in the box (good advice chaps)!!! 5 days...... :D

I don't know how to handle this. I am trying to teach my children not to open the Christmas presents before Christmas, although I have admitted to doing that myself when I was a child. Has this spread into the adult generation now? ;D

My wife came home last week with a wrapped pressie, handed it to me and said you better learn how to use this before we leave for India (we're in India at the moment for a friend's wedding). I had been lusting over the 5D mkIII since it came out but refrained from buying. I unwrapped the box and it was a brand new 5D3 kit. ;D ;D ;D

Don't know what I did to deserve my wife but I would so do it again and again (and again)! I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine. 8)

Well you had better upgrade that Air to a Pro Retina! Fair's fair! Otherwise she might swap the 5DIII back for a 6!
