Well, if all goes well, my sig will be changed by tomorrow afternoon (friday).
I called all over the country, and I think I found a store with the only two 20D's in Canada!
Not only that overnite shipping is only $45cdn. So I should be clicking this weekend. And since there is only one tax, I still save almost $100 in taxes. Only 24hrs until my first lockup :wink:
I'm crossing my fingers that I dont get one with any dead lcd pixels, or other problems. I hate when that happens.

(sorry, just couldnt contain myself)

What the heck are you going to do with all those extra pixels?

Start practicing your shutter squeeze. Or get bigger CF cards.

Doh, now there appears to be some credit card problem.
It looks like either Henry's or Camera Canada charged my card on the pre-oorder even though they said they wont.
Man, I have 1 hr to straighten this out for next day delivery :roll:

:cry:

You're not going to fix it. Call the credit card company and ask for a credit line increase. Faster than fixing it through the store, which will take days before it gets to the CC company.

Get this. I was on the line with the CC, and I guess the process DID go thru, but the vendor missed it.
They said they would call the vendor while I waited to fix it. So, Im waiting with the phone cradled on my shoulder, I bent over to pick something up, and .... I accidentally hung UP!!! :oops:
Now I'm in their long queue again!
I guess I have to laugh! Is this some sort of sign maybe?? :shock:

Yeah!
Now it's gone thru!
Everything is fine. I think Roanjoan was the one who kept saying the wait will make it more enjoyable in the end. Well, this SURE better. :lol:

Will do. :)
I just realized, without my 300D kit lens, 50mm is my widest.
Autumn is probably the perfect time for a wide angle too.

Oh, and I want the 400F5.6L. WHEN DOES IT STOP! :twisted:

Hey, that's exactly what I did the other month, just in case I might want to buy a 1DmkII or a 1Ds mkII on a spur of the moment. I surely didn't want some little detail such as my credit limit to get in the way of such an exciting purchase. :mrgreen:
