They only had one left or I may have tried (although I did rape that store by getting it for that fluke price, I wouldn't want to take advantage)

Looks like it came with a 4 gig sandisk extreme iii card inside the camera, filled with sample pics from inside the BB store So its not a virgin camera.

check the shutter count. i would bring it back then if it looks like a demo item, they advertised this as new right? maybe they'll give you a further discount for being a demo/opened box?

You got a free CF card--that would make up for it in my mind

Well after dumping the card and exif sleuthing, it looks like this card is just a beater card they use for showing off cameras, as MOST pics are from a 7D (the card was 100% full of random shots around the store)

Only 19 of them came from a 5D2, and it was only used for 2 minutes, by a BB employee:

Did you check the shutter count with EOSinfo?

I tried to get 5% off to offset tax using Discover shopcenter but when I tried to checkout yesterday my card was declined. By the time Discover called me to remove the hold on my card the 5Dii was OOS so I "saved" $2300. Still tempted to go with the continental miles deal.

23.

Which includes the 4 I took myself. Awesome.


And it looks like my 40D only has 11000.
