I’ve found a Canon 5d Mark II camera body in Manchester, NH and will be picking it up on Monday (the camera store I was working with here in Cleveland had already sold the one the senior repair tech thought they had in stock). Sunday I’ll be stopping in NYC to go to the B&H Super Store (the camera dealer I purchase all of my equipment through online) to purchase the L-bracket and batteries, since Hunt’s Camera in Manchester doesn’t have them in stock. Technically, B&H has a 5D Mark II in stock, but don’t expect it will still be there by Sunday…however, they wouldn’t let me prepay for it and have them hold it since it’s over $1500, which seems like a stupid policy. They’d be happy to ship it to me though. Very helpful…And now with all the necessary arrangements made for acquiring my new gear, I’m off to Niagara Falls, which I had to scratch from the 2006 plan after a freak blizzard dumped two feet of snow on Buffalo.
