Yeah. Plenty of messages here CDS!

Yeah, start with his fingers. They must be awfully tense since he's always making typos!

Good one PaceAce!

I Found One This way...

Reading the posts on this forum, I noticed that many who already have a 1D Mark II in their bag got them from a smaller (often local) dealer as opposed to B&H or the other big ones.

I placed my pre-order several weeks ago with a ship that may never see a port (CDW). Earlier this week, I decided to search the Web for a smaller dealer that may perhaps have a Mark II in stock (in my dreams) or atleast a very short wait list. On Google, I searched for "any state canon camera shop" and called about six, apparently smaller, camera stores or web sites and got my name on their list.

Today, I searched for "montana canon camera shop" and found Vann's. I called the 800 number... when the sales person answered I asked "how long of a wait list do you have for the Canon 1D Mark II? Answer: I don't have a wait list but I do have a Mark II sitting right here on my desk - I couldn't find anybody that could add it to the web site! Its about $4500 isn't it?

Needless to say, mine will arrive here in the Fabulous Florida Keys on Monday! No need to buy a lottery ticket today!

Hey, that's great! Sometimes you just have to go out and make things happen. I would imagine CDW's list is starting to shrink pretty rapidly. Too bad for them, but great for you (and me).
