->> Hey Nick, I'm glad you think so as well ;-)

Seeing how many people are very interested in getting their hands on this camera, I figured people would be interested in knowing their shipping.

Happy New Year everyone.

my question is...why in God's name would you buy something that expensive and say something like that? I mean really.
If you're unsure of a product and buy it....what does that say about YOU?

->> I think I agree with Chuck?? At least I know I'm not going to spend thousands to find out if the AF really is Kick Ass or not.

I'm starting to get the hang of manual focus anyway. :)

->> Chuck: What does it say about me? That maybe I'm hoping Canon will finally deliver a camera that is capable of taking in-focus pictures. That it would feel great to finally go to a game not having to worry about the camera in hand not performing as it should. I took a gamble on the MKIII when everyone was saying it was bad and I got stung. My mistake. Trust me, I'm hesitant to buy another, but all the reviews so far are great. The files look great, the high ISO files look great and a few people on here have had the benefit of shooting with one and they've all had great things to say about it. Like I said before, I hope the AF is kick ass, because the AF in the MKIII was horrid and I don't believe I'm along in my wishing for better AF performance from the MK4.

My original post was more about letting people know the cameras are shipping. I know many here are on waiting lists so I figured I would let people know that it won't be much longer before many of us will have the in our hands.
