But I'm going to try and hit up either Adorama or B&H in the next week or so to try out the 5DII. I would like to test out my 85L on it before I buy it.

No, disappointment with the 5D II.

Hopefully there isn't any disappointment with the 5DII

Told you to keep the 7D and sell the T3i...

But I was going to sell off the 7D either way.. I needed a wider angle lens anyways cause I can't use the 85 on crop all the time it's just not nearly as wide as I need it to be. Either way I was going to be getting a 5DII.

hmm.. is it sold out? or delayed? buy.com shows preorder o.o

http://www.buy.com …-s-edition/224525410.html

Format:

Xbox 360

Condition: Brand New

Pre Order Now: Release Date: 3/6/2012
Pre order this item today and it should be shipped on or around the date above. Pre-order does not guarantee item will be delivered on the release date

frys.com also shows a release of 03/06/12
http://www.frys.com …te=sr:SEARCH:MA​IN_RSLT_PG

Stores usually get an allocation of units for preorders, Especially with certain collectors editions

I remember when Mass Effect 2 came out the N7 collectors edition allocation ran out MONTHS before release, Our store was only allocated about 25 units or so....

Collectors editions usually work something like the publisher will mint off a first run of them, then allocate them to the various retailers, So Gamestop might get x number, Best Buy gets y, Amazon gets z, etc

Gamestop will then take and look at store performance for preorders and such, and allocate the copies accordingly, if it looks like they'll need more, they usually contact the publisher and say "Demand is higher, looks like we're going to need more copies" and the publisher will either 1. make a second run based on demand, or 2. Say there will be no more, and to remove the item from the preorder list... This is how you can "sell out" before it even is released...

Usually a publisher like EA is generous and ships a few extra units in case if one gets damaged or something, Most stores get 1-2 extra collectors editions as a "just in case" thing.... Of course sometimes Publishers SUCK and SHORT you... (Happened with Fable III's CE)

In this case, I looked at Best Buy, Gamestop and Amazon, and all three were showing NO, All three also offer preorder bonus items and Amazon and Best Buy were giving away between $10-$20 in gift cards for a preorder, and Gamestop is offering 30% extra trade credit (40% with a Power Up Rewards Pro membership) Giving them the best deals

Buy.com, Newegg.com and Walmart.com are NOT giving any form of preorder bonus item or incentive, Which is why they probubly still have their preorder allocations.. OR they did not get ANY allocation and they're just preselling and figure "if we dont have enough, Tough ****"

I nabbed one at Walmart.com and have it set to be shipped to my house, I may or MAY NOT see if my least busy local store has any of the allocation left for me to preorder anyways...

Normal editions you RARELY need to worry about, because they are produced en masse and are restocked FAST, the collectors editions however are rarely ever reprinted after the first run and rarely restocked after the release day

There will be. It's AF Sucks.... Now I'm being harsh, there is a reason it's such a popular camera, it's a great camera when it comes to IQ and such, just after having a 7D, the 5D II lacks in certain areas.

Eh... You're going to wait a few weeks though right? Hopefully the 5D III will come out and MK II prices will drop.

Can't really go wrong with either, but with people like Helen around, Adorama is great.

I spotted this today...

I was in the city with 3 of my friends and it was funny cause 3/4 of us had cameras and we saw this huge mass of fellow photographers. I guess it was a learning group or something? So we kinda tagged along for a few blocks the wound up leaving them then caught up with them closer to wall street and when we passed them they were reading off names so I was glad that I didn't stay with them

What body is that? With a 70-200 F4?


I saw a photographer today at the Open, he had what I'm guessing is a 5D II and 24-70, then a 7D with a 70-200 2.8 and a 2x. Both bodies gripped... it was just weird seeing a guy running around with that with media credentials at a big golf tourney, when just about all the other photos are running around with 300+mm primes.

Oh I mean I'm sure the AF will be the same as the T3i, but it's getting my lenses to actually focus properly. With my T3i my 35 is FF (maybe?) and I have no MA so I can't adjust it to the body. The 85 could also possibly be front focusing but the weird thing is when I'm at home and focus on something it focuses perfectly...

But I'm going to try and wait I don't have enough money anyways and I'm hoping they announce the 5DIII in hopes of prices dropping on the 5DII.

#1 reason why I would go adorama over B&H is cause of their customer service
