Show what you received in the mail today!

Yes yes, you KNOW what I'm talking about!

UPS, Fedex, DHL, USPS, GreyHound...these are some of your bestest best friends for the day.

The wait, the patience, the anger, the rush....oh can't forget the burnt pocket. Yes you felt it. Now you need to show it off. What did you get TODAY?!

What did I get?

I was just supposed to get the Olympus e-520... ended up getting quite a bit more This thing is small and light compared to the 40D.

The Box from B&H...


DOH!


Double DOH!


Couldn't help myself and got the 14-54... which is dust and splash proof and under $400.


The Olympus lenses are small, here's a look compared to the Canon 50mm f/1.8










I said my pocketbook is cabbage, so why not make it more cabbage! Needed the triggers.


Waterproof... as if I need it... why not?

i got my new stuff in yesterday. but i dunno how to take a picture of it since i'll be using it

 

wow i am jealous...

in for test shots.....

 

Nice setup. If you dont mind me asking, about how much did all that run??$$

 

Too much... guys, you could have gotten the deal of the year with this e-520 with lens kit... over the 4th of July weekend, dealers were already marking it down from $699 to $560. Everybody has it back to $699 though. I wanted in body IS, plus the Olympus 4/3 system had alot different than what can be found on the Canon EF system... like their legendary color, 2X crop factor, and of course, the in body IS that will allow even wide-angle lenses (and fisheyes) to be IS'd. The Olympus will be a great addition to my Canon gear IMO.

Total cost? Only $1,700+. Still, not as much as a pro body. God, I can only hope the 5D replacement will not be a heartstopper. Still, it's 'only' money...

 

Cameras taking pictures of cameras, lol.

 

The UPS man brought me 3 different boxes Friday

From Newegg:
Canon 40D w/ 28-135mm

From Adorama:
Canon 50mm f/1.8 II
Sandisk Extreme III 4GB CF
Canon 200DG Bag

From Digital Foto Club:
Manfrotto 804RC2 Head
Manfrotto 190XDB Legs

And a picture, taken by my Blackberry..

 

Nice, you did your homework. Now lets see what you can do.

 

haha what a call out

 

+1 lol

Also what is Team DNF and the Anti DNF? Sry if its a newb question.

 

well my new stuff arrived a couple weeks ago, but i still want to play.

so the near gear is:
canon 40d
canon 24-105 f/4L
sandisk 4gb extreme III

in the next couple weeks i'm hoping to buy:

better tripod, probably a dynatran one (at828)
b&w 77mm cp filter
canon 430 ex flash

 

Man I really need a DSLR... Wish I had known about the 4th discount.

 

team DNF is the my350z gaming clan. and anti dnf is pretty much just making fun of it.

 

Lol. I'll get ya some pics up soon. I don't like the 28-135mm kit lens so I just ordered a 17-85mm and will be selling the kit lens Do like my "nifty fifty" though

Edit: here are a few I took of my car..





Shot of my Justin335i's car with the new CSL wheels..



And a duck picture for the guys at POTN ..

 

^nice, what are u dropped on? lol.

 

Hey, I wasn't calling you out BTW... I just have the majority of your kit... the 40D with lens, the nifty/thrifty fifty, manfrotto pod (although I have the 055xprob)...

You don't like the 28-135? It is/was one of my favorites.

I love ducks... especially the white ones that you shot.

 

Hurry up and get that flash, the instant rebates expire in a week... July 19th.

 

Hotchkis springs

Haha, it's all good. The 28-135 is nice for reaching out a bit, but I've shot with the 17-85 before and I like having a little bit wider angle for landscapes and certain car shots. Got a few more pictures today, I'll post them up in a little while.

 

I didn't feel like waiting so I picked up the 5D for a back up body. It's still a great camera for ~ $1650 once you sell the 24 105 kit lens (and $210 for the grip).
