On another note - does anyone think the video looks way better on a TV connected via HDMI than on a computer screen? On my Panny plasma the video looks great (except the hideous amounts of moire) - when looking at them on my 2407HC they aren't so hot looking. ]]>Jan 8th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/
Either way, the video data is identical - it's just the output devices that tend to differ.]]>Jan 8th 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/Jan 8th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/
The specs looks pretty exciting on that camera.]]>Jan 8th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-firmware-update-cures-black-dot-ailment/
(I'm a righty but you must have something to complain about 'handy I feel')

However, I found www.digitalrev.com, a Hong Kong shop. I spoke to the reps via email about once per day until I was confident that I was indeed getting the cam that my Amex was charged for. They shipped the cam via DHL and did a very good job of packing it. I live across the river from NYC and got the cam in about seven days. I still see they have them in stock:

No tax, but they mark up the cam about $250 to make up for the difference.
