    Battery
    One of the reasons I am loyal to a local store. When I ordered the camera, I didn't know about battery scarcity. But when they called to tell me the camera would be in I asked for an extra. They said their shipment would probably be in a day after my camera so they are holding on to one for me.

    Where are people finding the LP-E6 battery? I've been loking for a spare for over 6 weeks now...

    I paid for my 5DMK2 and got it the next day but the spare battery took a week. I was lucky to even get their last battery grip. My local stores sells all their 5DMK2 within 24 hours of arrival.

    The new consumers are videographers. My salesman said a weddiing videographer ordered 3 more because his first 5DMK2 did so well for him.
    I like photos especially ones shot by Canons. I'm just another fanboy :ivar

    Tested the HDMI port on the 5DmkII. Details from my other post about that uncultured mongrel.

    The 5DmkII ROCKED in video mode through the HDMI port.

    Around the beginning of the month I placed an order with Tallyn's for the 5D Mark II. I also put myself on the notification list for B&H when they opened that up a couple of weeks ago, and earlier, on the list at a local Camera shop (who told me I probably couldn't expect it before April).

    To say that I've been anxious would be putting it mildly.


    Got my call from Tallyn's today, it's been shipped! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif


    Now, about those memory cards....


    Got it! wings.gif

    How many people on the list still don't have them? Canon's got quite the backlog.

    Procrastinating, I know.... My photo funds were pretty much fully depleted after the shootout, 50D and all the recent additions to the studio. So it took me a few months to replenish the $$ back... Luckily I got a few gigs lately, my modeling/portraiture venture seems to finally starting paying back little by little :-) mwink.gif
    Yet of course, I'm almost broke again now:-) rolleyes1.gif

    Well... I've had the 5DMkII for about three weeks now.
    Great camera thumb.gif
    However after putting the 50/f1,4 on it I got some very inconsistent results in terms of AF (my other lenses are f4).
    I did some extensive testing (ruled out the lens) and the body is now at Canon for AF adjustment rolleyes1.gif
    They said they had 3 bodies in for the same issue the last week... eek7.gif
