Happy day for davidfig=sad day for AeroSmith.

[AeroSmith]

Well, I just shipped off my 5D to forum member davidfig. It's a sad day indeed for old AeroSmith. The 5D was my first dSLR. It opened up a whole new world for me. And while for the last few months I've been passing her over in favor of my two 1-series bodies I will still miss the 5D with its amazing color rendering abilities and high ISO performance.

davidfig: enjoy and please take care of my baby.

Man... a 5D isn't a half bad way to enter the DSLR world. And at least you have two very excellent cameras to still work or play with

I can't wait. The poor UPS person isn't even going to have to get out of the truck if I have anything to do with it.

You should have cookies and milk waiting for him/her.

My ups girl is just interested in getting to the next drop off. So if I'm at the curb she will be happy.

AeroSmith, I here by promise to take good care of my new baby. I'll even let some picture out to the POTN forums.

So what new toys did you get for Christmas?

Well, with the $1,765 (after shipping) I got for the 5D (was that sticking it to him enough, Dante?.....probably not) I just ordered a 24-70/2.8L and a 430EX with bracket, cable, etc.

I really surprised at myself...here I've been a prime lens/natural light devotee and I just ordered a zoom lens and a flash. Oh God, what have I done.

You just like to love 'em and leave 'em don't you? You've broken the cameras litttle heart and now she won't take pics like she did before. Poor davidfig is getting a sad, sad camera. You should just sell all of your stuff you camera filanderer.

This is the first camera I've ever sold. Heck, I still have the AE-1 that my dad got me 27 years ago when I was 11. That's why this is so hard for me.
