I pre-ordered a 5d MkII yesterday. If all goes well, I should have it in early December.

Whee! Bounce bounce bounce. I can't wait!

    Patti,

    This is AWESOME! After you get your new baby, could you maybe post some sample shots and also 100% crops?

    For example, would love to see a reprise of your totally fabulous Golden Gate Bridge photo, in 21.0 megapixels.

    Blessings and Light,
    M

      I will absolutely be publishing samples, including a 5d and 5d MkII side-by-side shootout.

      I'm not sure what golden gate bridge picture you mean, though. Bay bridge maybe? This one?

        Yes, exactly, just love that photo!

        LOL, I got my sense of which bridge it was, because the lights on your photo are "golden."

        Can't wait to see results of your new camera!

          You should have preordered weeks ago when it was announced.

          You're most likely going to be waiting longer than you think.

          This camera is on a lot of lists.

            Maybe, maybe not. The place I ordered from is a little bit off the beaten track, and I suspect they have less of a queue. They're also really good about delivering things when they say.

            But if I have to wait, I have to wait.

      Sadly, that $1999.95 price is for the vanilla 5D (not the spanky new 5D Mark II)... expect original 5D prices to plunge once the Mark II is in wide distro... Maybe $1,400-ish by next June, yeah?

          Funny thing 1999.95 one week. Regular price $2013.95

          Now that is savings! I think they're already plunging on eBay.

            I would love to see some video from this camera, too, if you have the time.

            I just got a D90 and really like the video capabilities - yes, they're limited, but for shooting band music videos and short vignettes, it's really hard to beat. I might consider upgrading to the 5D mkII if I can justify the price....
