Yet ANOTHER "Just ordered a 5D!!!!" Post!

As the title suggests, I got approval from the "Senior Domestic Advisor" (aka, the wife) and I pulled the trigger on the 5D + grip from B&H today!!! ahhh, so excited to enter the world of full frame!

I'm also getting the 24-105 as well for kicks... My 24-70 isn't going anywhere as I need the 2.8 but if the 24-105 finds its "niche" I'll keep it, if not I'll sell it and put it towards an 85L....

now the worst part of ordering new hardware- THE WAIT!!!!

Congrats.... I am going to wait and see that the 5D's replacement is going to have before I pull the trigger...

Congrats! The 5D paired up with either the 24-70 or the 24-105 is really great!

Yes, I'm going to keep my 30D as a backup... I'm undecided as to whether I'll sell my 10-22 to fund a 16-35... I'm gonna wait and see....

Yeah, I thought about it, but gauging the improvements Canon made to the 40D vs. the 30D, I found it wasn't worth it to me to pay the premium... $2200 for a 5D is a great deal and I need one now so... now I just need that Brown truck!!

Welcome to the FF club.

You are gonna love that camera.

I'm in the same boat, waiting for my 5d - Will be here Wed, just in time for a trip back to Houston (My old college stomping ground)

Nice going! 5D ROCK! I love em, got 2

I lose at this all the time.


Enjoy the FF, you'll appreciate it.

My wife just asked what your wife got out of the deal?

Congrats on joining the 5D Club! And the 24-70 will still be your best friend indoors.

I just picked up a used 5d, and 24-105 with extra battery for 2600 on this forum (thanks aaronlam). So far I LOVE it. Coming from the 400d, the viewfinder is so much nicer, the dof shallower, and the noise pattern is a lot finer and more pleasant. I think 24-105 is an underrated lens. I have the 17-55 on the 400d, but I will most likely sell it. I will probably keep the 400D as a back up, and pair it up with a long lens on trips, so I wont have to do all the lens swapping.
I now also love my tamy 28-75 on the 5d. Its a phenom portrait lens. wickedly sharp.
