• New addition to my family (of gears)

  A few months ago, I bought a few of these cards but didn’t know what or when I would use it…. 
  

  …. until TODAY!

  Yes, I voted for Pedro and my wildest dream came true!
   

  I just got a chance to unbox it this evening so ofcourse, I haven’t read the manual.  I did went through all the control just to see where they are, and they’re in about the same places as the original 5D.  Not much of a learning curve.  I want to push this beast through it paces just to try shots that wasn’t possible before.  I will field test this during up two upcoming weddings before the end of this year. 

  Here are some initial eye candy shots:
  
  so warm and cozy inside its antistatic bag

  
  the official badge

  

  
  that’s some insane ISO and RAW file size

   

  
  so clean you can eat off it

  
  felt right at home

  I want to give a big Shout Out to the guys down at Imagine Spectrum who gave me an unexpected surprise this xmas.  I was at their shop, for the first time, on Thursday picking up some printer paper when I noticed they carry Nikon cameras.  So I asked if they also carry Canon, specifically the 5D MII?  They had sold their last one just the day before.  So I got on their short waiting list as customer #2 and today, I walked out w/ this mystical beast.  The staff there are very knowledgeable and helpful with some of the best services I’ve seen.  Check them out and I bet you’ll agreed.   

  Before I forget…. all you guys who helped contribute to my fundraiser, I’ll be contacting you personal for your shoot.
