take this with a grain of salt though, as this is what my friend told me from his personal experience

take this with a grain of salt though, as this is what my friend told me from his personal experience | I bought my camera from multiple electronics 2 or 3 years back now. The customer service is very much so less than desirable and they are extremely pushy on selling you on additional accessories (he belittles you and almost implies that you're an idiot for not agreeing to purchase his suggested accessories). I bought from here only because it was cheaper than other locations. Next time around I think I'd rather pay more for better people to deal with

Accessories are marked up from 35% - 100%.

Anyone interested in a 5d mark 2 w/ grip??
I just picked up my order today at Broadway Camera.
After taxes its about $3900. I just want whatever I paid for it.
Shoot me a PM if you're interested or know someone that is.
Reason for selling is that I'de rather have the cash at this point in time.
I bought this thinking I was gonna get it when it first came out and that I could make
a quick buck on ebay. But 2 weeks later, they don't hold the same value.

Heh...you aren't the only one. The first 2 weeks it was a trickle, but now canon is sending us about 20 a week. Got 2 Nikon D3x in today....and they were gone within a few hours. Holy shit, the D3x with the 24-70 f2.8 is amazingly sharp corner to corner.

Yes, it is. It's way better than the 1Ds MkIII though. The pros don't care about the price much. They can recoup their costs easily and it can be written off as a business expense.
Interesting side note: We tested the new 50mm f1.4 against the new 24-70mm f2.8 and... the 24-70mm f2.8 at 50mm is SHARPER than the 50mm prime at almost all apertures! Of course, we were pixel peeping, but the difference was noticeable in the D3x NEF files. It looks as if Nikon didn't update the optics of the 50mm. They just added the N coatings, AF-S and G designation it seems.
They came and went!

Holy cow they're in stock already!??!?!?
Damn Nikon's moving fast these days... I remember a few years back when it would take at least 4 or 5 months to see the cameras available after they've been announced... now it's almost within weeks or 1 month.
I've downloaded some offical samples of the 24mp files and they were f-king amazing.
I'd still take a D3 over this though... but obviously I'm not the target market for the D3x. lol

Maybe it will take a while to figure it out but I've been using my d300 for about 2 weeks now and it doesn't feel as easy to use as the 50d.

I think Canon's UI is pretty solid. You can pick it up and pretty much figure it out.

They came and went! | lol the d3x better be better than the 1dsmrk3 since its like a year and a half later. thats like generations apart in the digital world. i was really upset when i got my 1dsmrk3 and heard about the 5d mrk2 until last week. did a shoot under 3200 and got crisp prints without any noise on 11x17s. but then again im sure all other high iso/mp cameras nowadays do that aswell.

It's the slowest camera in its price class, and slower and less responsive than even some cheaper DSLR's. The price difference is a lot for the consumer, but doesn't matter much to the working pro.
