Canon EOS 5D Mark III | First Thoughts

[Dave Johnston]

Let me start this off by saying, I have never had trouble or other issues with BHphotos packaging. Ever, but what they chose to ship my 3500 dollar 5D3 is pretty amazing to me.

This is a picture of the box. After I opened it.


No padding, no bubble wrap..... Nothing.... I could hear the stuff in the 5D box sliding around when I picked up. That was immediately followed by an intense bout of nausea and anxiety.

Luckily, nothing seems to be malfunctioning at this point. Only time will tell if this remains true.

On a good note though. This is the first shot I took with the camera.
