Default I Did It!!

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and made my B&H Photo order. A Canon 50D, battery grip and 2 sets of batteries. Woo-hoo. Now all I have to do is try to keep from going nuts until next Friday. Come on UPS truck!!

Oh I see, thanx Jim. At least im not going to be filled with questions inside my head when people are talking about B&H now.

m.c.adams, i remember the time when i waited for my ipod nano to arrive, i kept checking the delivery service's site to make sure my ipod delivered to me on time. what freaked me out was that i found complaints from people on the net about that delivery service not delivering their packages, i.e. item lost or never delivered etc. haha the good thing was it was delivered to me, the bad ting was it was late like about a week from the scheduled delivery date. happy waiting

The smell and feel of a brand new camera out of the box is like no other...
I wonder what IMG_0001.jpg would be...
All the best to the new gear!

Thanks for the best wishes everyone. I've been wanting to upgrade for some time now and with the extra money made at my show, it was time. My kit is getting pretty good now as I'm keeping my 350D for a back-up. Raoul, thats a very good question, what will #1 be? Something to think about this week while I'm waiting.

Damn - I'm really considering splurging on another 1D 4 now.

Congrats. Don't take too many photos of it - take some with it.... camera lust can come after.
