I have an insider friend who says the new 5D Mark II is shipping to all stores TODAY!  This is good news because we may have in time for Thanksgiving (and wouldn’t that be a nice thing to be thankful for?)

 For those who don’t know, this camera has been pre-ordered from Ritz for the past few months.  I am excited by the possibilities of full frame, ultra high ISO/Low Noise, 1080P Hi-Def video capture, etc.  This camera will blow away the comptetition at this price, particularly if you have good Canon lenses already.
