Hasta La Gadget!

If you have $2700 lying around, an hour or so to spare and a visceral need to do something, anything other than eat turkey and – gasp – talk to your family this weekend, you could pop to your local camera store and grab the hot new Canon 5D MkII.

The camera is now shipping, body only or in kit form (Amazon has it bundled with the EF 24-105mm ƒ4 L IS USM Lens for $4000), but we expect this first batch to sell out fast, given the anticipation we have seen for Canon’s first video-capable DSLR.

Photography Bay has a rundown of online dealers, but if you haven’t pre-ordered, you might try the brick and mortar stores instead. And if you think that your spousal unit might not be too happy, hey, it shoots home videos, right?

Me? Nope. First, here in Spain we don’t do Thanksgiving. Second, I’ll be taking my new Nikon D700 out for an extended run. But that video looks good…
