In a few days I will officially be a Canon user :DDD

Id like to thank onepage for his patience over the thousand emails that I sent him asking for advice on what to get.

Heres what I ended up getting (I got sort of swayed into getting the printer because theres a $500 rebate when you get a camera and that):

Canon EOS-5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Body Kit
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard AutoFocus Lens - USA Warranty
SanDisk 16GB Extreme Compact Flash Memory card
Slinger Camera Bag
Additional LP-E6 Battery
FREE: Red Giant Adorama Production Bundle for PC/Mac a $599.00 Retail Value

Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II Inkjet Photo Printer with 4800 x 2400 dpi Resolution, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Interface for Mac & Windows

Tiffen 52mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter

I may look into getting a speedlite soon too, I might just end up going with one of those cheapie pop-up flash bounce things though.

So excited to finally upgrade after 2 years.

Oh right on. I'm kinda surprised he didn't say get a 7d and invest more in lenses.

I would, but then I'd be stupid.

Congratulations, Alexandria

Well he knew I wanted to upgrade to the best extent that I could, and that camera does the job ^^

I looked at a lot of 5d II vs xxx pages and it won out every time. Especially for what Ill be shooting.
