Officially this is the 2nd photo taken on my new 5D Mark II however the first one my daughter had the audacity to blink as I clicked the shutter button for the first time. lol :)

For my first shot I decided to test out how good this thing really was at high ISO. This was shot at 6400, f/4, 1/80. I am drooling at how clear this was for noise even at 100% crop it was still really sweet. Only a little touch of noise reduction in Lightroom at is was awesome!

Here are some others that i took right after.

Then just for fun I tried maxing out the ISO at 25600...for an old fashion look it actually kind of works.

By the way I am in love!

I felt that way when I got my 5Dc on Tuesday. (except for the part where you shot over 3200 ISO lol). I wonder what the shutter count is going to be after this weekend.

Just got mine today! First pic was a bad one though, since it was a rush job to capture the monsoon-like shower we got here in NY. Technically it wasn't the first either since it's a refurb, but that's besides the point :P

Hmmm. I'll have to go back and see if I can find my first one with my 5DM2... It was only 6800+ shots ago. :)

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.

Yup, I found them. Nothing to spectacular. I took a picture of my cluttered closet. It was actually Image #5 so I'm thinking the place I bought it from did a few test shots with it before they shipped it. Later that day I took it to a football field where the kids were practicing. It came with the 24-105 lens and I had some fun shooting with that even on a wet, hazy, cloudy evening. Oddly enough the first thing I tested was ISO 6400 and that picture came out pretty clear. Not a bad shot of my cluttered closet. :D
