I'm considering purchasing a new Canon 5DII. I'm wondering if the
lenses that I have will be compatible or if there will be any problems. My lenses follow:
Canon EF 24mm l:2.8 Canon Zoom EF 100-300mm 1:4.5-5.6
Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 Canon Macro EF 100mm 1:2.8
Tamron AF Asperhical XR Di LD F 28-300 1:3.5-6.3
Also in pricing the camera I've checked 4 sources such as B&H.
They all seem to be set on $2699. Camera World will pay for
shipping and handling. Is there any place that I can get a
lower price that you would recommend?
Thank you for your assitance in addressing my concerns.

Most lenses that wouldn't work on the full frame sensors were just the ultra wide angle lenses for APS sized sensors. Probably anything under 24mm would be the questionable lenses.
The place to get the camera cheaper is in the FUTURE.
Grey market but that's not worth it. You're better off going w/ free shipping and no sales tax or occasionally local stores have events were they pay the sales tax.

I don't know anything about Camera World. I always try to buy somewhere reputable where I can return it if there are any issues. I like Amazon.com and B&H. Amazon is incredibly easy to deal with any is great about returns. B&H is great, as long as you do not mind the occasional rude salesperson.
I would do a little research on Camera World if you are not already familiar with them. There are some pretty shady camera stores out there. Bait and switch, ship a grey market without mentioning it, charge you card and not ship for months, etc. The old saying, "If it seems to good to be true, it generally is". Just ask any of Madoff's clients.
