chrispy43,


Thanks for your input. I am really interested in your comments about the 5D Mk. II. I had a 5D, and found it was too slow for some of the shots I wanted to take. Otherwise, I loved that camera. Maybe the 30% increase in fps is more than I thought.


Actually, through a strange set of circumstances, I ended up "winning" an auction on eBay for a brand-new, in-a-box 40D kit which includes the 28-135 lens. I realized, after I ended up winning this camera kit, that I really think I want the 1D Mk. II.


Therefore, I think I will sell my not-yet-arrived 40D kit. I am going to include a 1GB CF card, too, to sweeten the pot slightly. Anybody interested? [] I'd like to get what I paid for it, which is about $900.
