Today was almost like Christmas at the Clarke homestead. I got the call this afternoon that my Canon 5D Mark II had arrived. I hadn’t pre-ordered the camera as I wanted to wait a few months to see what everyone else had to say about the camera before running out and buying one. At just over $3000 this was an investment that I wanted to make sure was going to be worth it before plunking down my hard earned cash. Several calls to various camera stores around the city over the past few weeks revealed that the camera was on back-order and likely wouldn’t be available until the end of February or early March.
Much to my surprise I received a phone call today from Gord the manager of Don’s Photo to let me know that he had one available so I rushed over before the store closed and picked it up. Here is the official un-boxing video shot with my Flip video camera. Keep an eye on the blog for the first test shots once I’ve charged up the batteries and had some time to get out shooting.
