It looked so lonely... wearing only 8k clicks and all...

Seriously they made an outstanding deal on it for me!
Now its peanut butter and water for a while for dinner, but soooo worth it.

<---- Jealous! Have fun with the new camera - Top Ramen is only 10 cents/package. Haha.

You're smart to buy it in the store...I dont' care if shipping is cheaper than sales tax - waiting for UPS sucks!

Don't I know it!
I really like the shop I go into too. They are usually within $100 on L series lenses compared to B&H, and add shipping and they are even closer. Bodies they aren't so competitive usually, but when you consider that you get to play with the body you are buying before you get your credit card out it makes sense to me. Then consider this story... bought a 300 f4 on Friday from them, played with it over the weekend, found out today that I have a project at the end of this week that I need something faster than my beloved 10D on. Packed up the 300, walked in the store they made a deal to take back the 300 for full credit and made a great deal on this demo 1dMkII.
Try that online! :D Plus, the coffee and old war stories are free!

That's a thing of beauty...truly. I'm supposed to have mine Wed. Oddly enough, mine had 8k clicks, too. Did you get an extra battery? You'll want one.

I actually wanted a spare, but they were out, they'll get me one Thursday, plenty of time before the project.
