kelvinz Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Canon EOS 5D Mark II After giving my niece/goddaughter my 40D I meant to buy one of these but hesitated. I kept the good lenses, in anticipation of the new beasty. Frustration over amp internal pics pushed me to pull the trigger. Happy now, although I want more lenses, of course. Once you go full frame(FF) there is no going back It's down hill from here as to get the most out of FF you will need to purchase lenses that are $1500+.

Voltron Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks fellas. It was silly waiting this long to buy it but I am happy I have it now. I considered going the Nikon route because Gene and Peter are big proponents, but this thing is more familiar from the 40D days and IT'S GOT 21 MP and HD VIDEO BEOTCH! Dan, it's true I am not really prone to half measures at this point in my life.
kelvinz Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Sent payment for this set this morning: Hope to get them next week!
Asr Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 for myself: - Antennas Direct DB2 (HDTV antenna), damn this thing really works! Getting much better reception now over UHF. - Stax SR-404 Limited (pre-order). I got twitchy. for my mom: - HP G60t laptop PC (Core 2 Duo @ 2 GHz and 2 GB RAM), to replace an old Pentium-4 1.4 GHz laptop with a litany of technical problems for my dad: - APC Back-UPS ES 8 550VA (a previous APC UPS had fizzed out)

Hey, I'd be all over the 5DII if I could tolerate Canon ergonomics! The only thing holding me back from the D700 is that I know within a year to 18 months there will be a 20+mp Nikon at the same price point.
Edwood Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 LOL, why would you want more pixels? You printing wall posters? If anything the larger pixels = less noise.
Hopstretch Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 what resolution does it run? Club Monaco? Roughly 1998.
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 LOL, why would you want more pixels? You printing wall posters? If anything the larger pixels = less noise. Not so much for the more pixels, but that the "old tech" D3/D700 will be a lot cheaper at that point.
ojnihs Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 i've been watching movies for a few hours, and i'm pleased as punch. i helped my mom buy an HDTV today (a Samsung LN40B550 is what we decided on) and i've had my fill of HDTV set ups for the day. good to hear. i'm a big fan of plasma tvs, too bad Pioneer dropped out, but Panasonic makes some damn good ones as well.
jinp6301 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 what resolution does it run? 2560 x 2400 Its a 2009 model
atothex Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 I like Club Monaco. They're the only place I can consistently find size 28 waist, so they're probably my favorite store by default.
n_maher Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 yes, it's just been a sad morning for Jacob. i miss my TV. Did I miss something? What happened to your TV?
Dusty Chalk Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 He got a new one, and this is his first excursion away from it.
n_maher Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 yes. anyways, since i now have a nice tv, and there is an xbox 360 attached to it, i figured that netflix might be a good idea. so i signed up for the 1 dvd at a time plan, today. i don't care about the dvds that much. I'm pretty sure the 360 will also play *.mov or *.wmv files which can be pretty handy. It's not as good or as capable as the PS3 in this regard but I got my brother in law's to do it.
