O.K., I had to do it and I finally did. UPS just dropped off my new Canon 5D camera from Adorama. I couldn't pass up the deal and am completely jazzed beyond belief. It is an awesome camera to say the least and have wanted one ever since I held it in my hands at a local camera shot. It feels about the same in my hands as my 20D, but looking through the viewfinder with the 17-40mm makes everything seem so dang wide compared to the 20D...I am going to really enjoy this camera.

I went for the package deal/rebate with the PRIXMA Pro 9000 printer. I couldn't pass up the $500 rebate on the set...awesome printer too I might add, at least that is what I have read...

WOO HOO!!!

I have one of those; it's working very well for me. Enjoy!

Grats on your new Toy Michael!! :D I so wanted that one but didnt quite have enough and was going through serious withdrawals after drowning my last body :P so ended up with a 40D but love it anyway.. still dreaming of full frame though

Thanks Dave..I actually considered the 40D for the sensor cleaner, but ultimately chose the full frame over the sensor cleaner...that will probably be something on the new 5D when they revamp it. Would be a nice option...

IMO the "sensor cleaner" doesn't really do much at all. I'm just going from experience with my XTi and now the 40D. I went for the greater bit depth and 6.5fps just gave me warm fuzzies thinking about it :D and the fact I had originally thought my 17-40L was toast...
