Ordered and on the way!

New camera body on the way!!!

NO, not the Mark III

I wanted to get a 2nd Mark II and found a refurb ... by the time I figured out the best way to pay for it (I'm out of work) it was gone so decided to get a new one ... Still about $500 less than my first new 5DMKII so I'm happy. As I was telling a friend (he really wants the MKIII) once the 5DMKIII hits the shelves, I bet the MKII's just disappear!

I'VE GOT MINE!!!

From the Canon store? Report back on it when it arrives...

Why post this????

umm... enjoy.... 5d2 is a great camera!

Kind of because I'm excited! It's not Christmas but if it were snowing here I might feel like it was!

Everyone talking and excited about the Mark III and it is simply the announcement of it and it hasn't even shipped yet and I really don't see any major reason to shell out over $1,000 more for it so went with a 2nd 5DMKII while they are still available!

I had been putting off another body hoping the MKIII is something really better. Decided to buy the MKII now rather than get all hyped up on the MKIII ... which I kind of did with the 7D rather than buying the 5DMKII at the time ... don't regret it but wished I'd just gone ahead and bought the 5DMKII at that time, instead

OK, won't do it again! sorrrry!

johneo, Hey, congratulations. It's fun to see people excited. Have fun and keep shootin'. Mike

The temp in my car just said 88 degrees. As warm as this winter has been, it's hard to believe it's snowing anywhere in the US. I'm in the Carolina's.

In in Chicago and it's in the 80"s here! Unbelievable!

No, not the Canon store but the same price with a company discount and free shipping from Dell. Delivery on Friday

Yeah, I don't really think I'd be that excited if it were snowing here either! Up here in southern New England, we had very little snow this winter and that is fine with me! Temps in the 80's tomorrow ... to early for that too!

You already got the good lens for it as well. Congrat!
