Christmas came early for me yesterday, after hearing a rumour that Canon had just sent out another batch of 5D Mark II Kit's to dealers, with this in mind I gave my Camera shop (DigiDirect) a call, low and behold the answer was "Yes sir come in and pick up your 5D Mark II Premium lens kit".

Having a chat to the owner while my order was being arranged by the sales person, they apparently received only 4 5D Mark II kits this week and a similar number of bodys last week. I got the feeling Canon's short supply of the 5D Mark II had been quite stressful, with over 100 people on their waiting list for the 5D Mark II. I can just imagine a large majority of those eager 5D Mark II camera owners calling on a daily basis on the off chance more stock had arrived.

I was one of the lucky ones, but then again I did order and pay in full about a month ago.

Below are a few photos of my new 5D Mark II Premium lens kit:

There is more to come including video once I have the chance to get into the Sydney CDB some time tomorrow.
