He's carrying my 30D, and I'm just a bit excited. He stopped by at 9:30 AM, but I was at work, and my office that will receive packages wasn't open till 10. He's making another run later today (I guess they do 2 attempts with 1 day air, as my last lens I got on the second attempt of the day as well). Will it be here by 5? 6? Oh how I hate waiting....

The time could not pass quickly enough as I waited for the time that UPS would normally get to me. Every time I order new gear I have my little anxiety thing. Something about photographic toys that does that. Robert

First impressions: AF is FAR faster than on my Rebel....viewfinder is noticably bigger and brighter, and I love the 2.5" LCD. The whole thing just feels so much more polished and responsive compared to my Rebel. Oh, and if anyone is looking for an original Rebel with Grip, it'll be for sale sometime in the next week and a half. Jordan Steele - http://www.jsteelephotos.com

DC9 Senior Member 301 posts Joined Nov 2004 Location: Somewhere Over America More info | Dec 02, 2006 08:52 | #12 Yea with all the weather that marched through this week I was biting my nails yesterday waiting on the brown truck (in UPS lingo it is called a Package Car) with my 16-35mm lens onboard. Tracking said it was “Out For Delivery” but by 7 PM I had given up and figured I wasn’t going to see the lens until Monday which would be to late because I needed the lens for this weekend. Low and behold though the Package Car Driver showed up at 7:10 with my lens. I thanked him profusely and asked if I was the last stop. He said only thirty more to go then he could go home.

ScottyMac Member  33 posts Joined Sep 2005 Location: Colorado More info | Many a time has the tracking info showed "out for deliver" and I didn't get the package. Our UPS driver has an occasional attitude. Of course, its all part of some perverted conspiracy. If they're delivering something that doesn't interest me, it will get here early. If its a camera body or lense, it will come from New York to Colorado via Madagascar. 30D | 17-40L |[COLOR=Black] 70-200/4L | 50/1.4 | 300D |18-55
