Just came home from the camera shop with a brand new 5DII after my wife convinced me I needed it.


Say what?!?


It's true. I recently bought a used 24-70L used from BH, but have really been feeling it's limitations on my old Rebel XT. I was thinking about picking up a used 5DI, but she convinced me to just go for it and get the 5DII. Still a bit in shock.

Can't wait to start shooting!!!


So now I'm waiting for the battery to charge.


Quick question: I know that with cell phone batteries, they tell you to charge them for 12+ hours the first go round to ensure the best battery life. Is this the same kind of deal, or am I okay to start shooting once it's fully charged?
