So, Monday I went to the camera store to buy a User Guide for the new Canon camera I was impatiently waiting for in the mail. I wondered when it might deliver, I never saw an email that it shipped, or a tracking number or anything. I was a little anxious, cause I didn't want to be at work and miss it when UPS came to deliver my sexy new camera, or, even worse, leave it sitting on my doorstep!
So I wandered around the store, dreaming about the new filters, memory cards, lenses and bags I was going to buy for my beautiful new camera...kinda like shopping for a pet... I finally left and headed home. When I pulled into the driveway, I saw it; a big square box with Canon labels on it SITTING ON MY DOORSTEP!!! I freaked out for a second, but quickly got over it, ran inside, screaming and tore open the package.
The GORGEOUS 5d Mark II is heavier than my last camera, which is not surprising at all, considering the last camera I bought was the Digital Rebel XSi, 3 years ago. Sadly, that great little camera is obsolete now, but will be a perfect back up. The lens that I got with my kit is surprisingly a great lens, not that Canon would pair such a fantastic body with a mediocre lens, but typically kit lenses aren't that great..that's cause they want you to buy a better one. The kit lens is a 24-105mm f/4, it will be great for landscapes and portraits!
Now, I think I have changed my mind about the Zoom lens I want to buy. I had picked out the 70-200 f2.8, but there will be so much overlap in range between the kit lens and that zoom, that I think I may go with the 100-400 f/4...? I'll have to bring my camera in and play with them both...oh boy!
