According to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary “Desire” means to “long or hope for”. That is exactly what I was feeling when I stopped in my local Shutterbug store and talked with the Canon Rep there who was showcasing the new Canon 5D Mark II. Holding this new camera in my hands completely defined desire for me. I’m sure the look on my face was the same as a puppy staring at a dog bone with drool running out of his mouth. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t drooling but I came close. I’m not going to rehash the technical specs on this camera, like the 21MP sensor or the HD video capability, but I will say that it sure felt good in my hands. What didn’t sound so good was the Canon Rep telling me it was about a 6 month wait before he got any more in this area. Sounds like the waiting list is quite long as people who want a smaller frame camera with the capabilities of a 1D series come out of the woodwork to get their hands on it. I guess my “desire” will have to wait a bit longer.
