Hopefully since I got my order in with Adorama in early September, it won't be long! :jump:

You should check this out...pretty mindblowing. This is done with a production model bought in Beijing.

The performance in low light is stunning. ( Yes there is some very nice glass on the front of that thing but still :eek: )

This will change of course, but right NOW at $2699, this has got to be the Ultimate DSLR currently available, except for those who shoot in some fierce outdoor weather (or don't need video at ALL). I tell ya, if some of the shooters on this site ever got a 5D2 and recorded video as they were shooting a sunrise from the top of Hood or Ranier, etc, and burned those to DVDs as video tutorials made on-the-fly, I'd buy those is a New York minute.
