I’m totally ecstatic, thrilled, and amazed! I just received my Canon EOS 5D Mark II today from the post office!

My Rebel has served me so well the past years and I’m still impressed at the images I can achieve with a “consumer-level” DSLR. Unfortunately it does have it’s limitations and I finally decided to make the jump to a full-frame camera body, which is my new 5D MKII. It is bigger and better in every way than my old Rebel XT, and I’m amazed at not only the image quality, but the ease of use. I only had to flip through the manual once, and in minutes I had it set up just the way I like it. I can’t wait to take this new body on my next shoot and don’t worry, I won’t let my Rebel XT gather dust. It’s still a good camera in many ways.

I was so excited to unpack and unbox the 5D MKII from all the shipping materials, that I snapped a few shots of the process with my EOS Rebel XT that is now my secondary body.
