Canon 5D mark II

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Well I ordered the canon 5D mark II today from Camera Stop here in Plano. I had a good experience with the order. The staff there is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll have to let you know how fast Canon gets them the 5D Mark II kit with the 24-105mm EF F4/L IS USM Lens. My biggest concern is the auto focus – sounds like from the things I’ve seen in the forums and reviews are black spot problem with highlights and the auto focus is slow with some cameras but most are great out of the box and don’t have any issues. So I hope I don’t get a lemon. I’ll keep you posted…

Camera Stop’s website is good too and has some improvements on the way. They also rent lenses and they may be renting lighting equipment soon as well. I hope they do! The trip downtown is getting exhausting…
