5D Mark II in my hands
Thanks to my great friends at Pictureline, I was able to secure one of the first Canon 5D Mark II cameras to be publicly available in the US. I can't wait to run it through some test work before putting it into production. High ISO, here I come!
November 26 Update
After putting the camera through some simulated production work last night, I feel safe in putting it into actual service. I will be using it today for a magazine assignment (with my workhorse 5D along as a backup of course). One thing to note is that I have discovered how much I use the battery grip on my camera bodies. I hope the BG-E6 arrives soon at Pictureline.

Excellent!! Id really be very interested to see some High ISO shooting. I haven't really seen any tests yet.
Those guys and gals at pictureline is awesome. I wish we had one here in Las Vegas. There is nothing even close here.
Awesome! Hopefully a review is coming?
Lucky! Enjoy it!!
Good news indeed, looking forward for your impressions on it.
Congrats!
I'm on a list for one of these babies, so a critique of it will be much appreciated! I'm especially interested in how high an iso you can go and istock will accept with no noise reduction.
