    Nice, congrats James!

    PS: pretty nasty(for some among us), but good marketing tactics from Canon there

    I am not so sure that is good marketing myself. When running a business I have never considered it good practice to anger potential customers and would never go out of my way to send repeat business from existing customers to my competition. How many advertising dollars does it take to bring in new customers to replace those who give up on a brand?

    Talking to the Canon Australia rep, he mentioned that Canon is flat out and focusing on 5DMK3 construction, that is their priority, other stuff like battery grips, not a priority. I don't know what comes out of what factory over there, but his words not mine.
    But the MK3 will be worth the wait.

    Says it should get here tomorrow.

    Too bad I am on call until 10PM..... going to be a long day. Even longer day if I can't get someone to hang out at my house and accept the package.

    So...excited.

    Well, I ordered the kit from buydig and canceled my BH order. They have free overnight shipping, so I should get it tomorrow.
    I should be able to sell the lens for $800.

    Feels like cheating, but hey... I'm going on a trip starting Sunday and I'll have the 5DIII!

    As Dave said, YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!

    BIG Surprise today!!! Never got an email from B&H but after Dave said his shipped I checked out my order and it had a tracking number!!! I was kind of annoyed that I didn't get an email so that I could properly prepare but when I rushed home and since I hadn't missed the UPS guy yet, I got over it. Minutes ago he did come with two boxes: Diapers for my daughter and my 5D Mark III!!!!!
