Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love you, Tomorrow. It is only a day away.
I am singing....woo hoo. Just ordered my 7D and my 300mm lens and the EF1.4III extender and spare battery and I get them tomorrow.
Fabulous as I got them from WEX and got a bundles deal which they have been awaiting stock on for the last fortnight and the stock came in today.
I have one question about my order. I know some people use a lens filter to protect their lens and some hate them. I want one just to protect the lens until I get used to it. It was really hard choosing one and I ended up getting this one as WEX had it on offer with the 300mm lens.

If you guys think there is a better one that you recommend I shall order the new one. I have not got a clue on lens filters.
I am so jet lagged as we arrived home yesterday at 3pm after a 5 hour delay and 2 flights. It was such a fantastic holiday and as most of you know I did manage to get some quite nice shots of the local hummingbirds. I have to admit that I was pretty cheesed off with the Fuji as it kept overheating, would not focus, and it took an eternity to store pictures so I missed a massive amount of action with the hummers. Also my lens distortion was horrendous and every photo I had to edit to compensate this. I do wish that I had the new Canon gear with me as I know my photos would have been so much better but saying that the humidity was horrendous and it was so hot that I could only stand out for about half an hour before the heat got to me. Although Barbados is a very safe island I know I would have been too nervous with fabulous gear to stand in the isolated spot where I took most of my photos.
I'm just trying to work out how we can get it to you sooner, reduce all our stress. Now I'm in Suffolk, Norwich is only an hour or so away, so I could pick it up, meet someone over near Peterborough way, who could then relay it up the A1 - we must have sufficient people on here to be able to get it to you today, surely??

Hahahaha!! If they haven't dispatched it, we'll ALL be ringing them up!! :-)
The technical support desk was all set up and ready too....
PS - No, the telephone number is not mine, so don't bother ringing it!
PPS - Actually, better remove the number anyway, it may have been re-allocated
LOL! Hmm, do I have a red phone anywhere.....
Tomorrow, tomorrow...
Wait...
Isn't that where we came in?
Sorted the phone too
Hang on, let me ring WEX, see if they've another 70-300L in stock they can send me. I've got a 100-400 - what else do you reckon I'll need Lolly?
You'll have more Canon cameras than all of us put together at this rate :-)
Hahahaha! The 2.8? No, sorry :-)
The lens and camera body definitely look correct to me :-)
I agree - the settings which are probably a bit fiddly to change on the Fuji, will be mostly very easy to change on the DSLR - the controls all fall easily to hand.
Just make sure yon 15 year old doesn't snaffle the 2nd Canon!!
