5DM3 here I come!!!

Placed my order today and its already been processed and shipped. I hope to have it delivered by Wednesday.

Yay!!!

Where did you order from?

sounds like the beach camera deal on ebay!

Beach Camera but not from Fleabay. They are authorized Canon dealer and currently have kits in stock, not single bodies.

Ahh...I don't think I'd get a kit this time around. Harder to get more than the $800 price difference from the 24-105 these days - especially with a lot of them hanging around.

Congrats. You are going to be VERY happy.

Congratulations - I love my 5D II and 'kit lens' - you will too!

Happy Shooting.

Shoots, mines arrived last week Friday and still hadn't find the time to play around with it.

yay for you!

You know what sucks, I bought 24-105 in February when I wasnt planning on buying Mark 3. I am still going to flip new one and I make up the difference. It all depends on what kind of channels you run it thru.

By the way, you should explore the bundle that I bought - for $100 more I got a few things and it was 32GB CF Sandisk Extreme card that was ~$120 @ B&H, $25 extra battery, $50 Canon brand bag (flippable for $40), garbage filter set, cleaning set and yesterday (when I shoulda bought it) they even had generic 5d mark II grip bundled . I woulda flipped it for $50

The flip flops, this is how we do it.

the Canon Gods are not going to be smiling on you, better get that thing out and start clicking them off

Guess who got the package next day after ordering it....

I stopped by the Calumet Photographic in Philadelphia yesterday and they had one they are renting.
Someone had rented it over the weekend and it was back.
He brought out a 24-70 lens and I put it on and got to play with it and the AF for a few minutes.
(No CF Card)

WOW!

It feels different than the 5d2 that I have.
Almost, I don't know how to say it, almost plasticky and inexpensive on the outside.
Yet the functionability is flawless!

I Want one!

NOW!!!!!

I would have thought the same thing, but up here in the GTA there are loads of people asking $1250+ for their 24-105 lens. They don't even hide the fact it was from a kit, and no box etc. Its hard to say if they are really selling them, and for how much in the end.
