OMFG!! I just bought my new brick of a camera!!!
This things got more buttons than my bloody computer. I've lost a kidney in the process but gained 16.7 megapixels and full frame
The box is remarkably small compared to what I expected:

OHMYFUGGIN GOODNESS!!!!!!!!

The OHMYFUGGIN GOODNESS camera married to my tele lens. A match made in heaven!

The back compared to my 300D. This is gonna take a HELLUVALOTTA gett'n used to

Batteries still charging, and it's HUGE.
For those who don't know, the specs:
Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II (I used to own the 300D/Rebel)
16.7 Megapixels Resolution (I had 6.3 megapixels)
Full Frame Sensor (I had a 1.6 crop sensor)
45 AF points (300D only has 7)
Magnesium alloy body construction (300D is cheap plastic)
Bigger screen with more res, every manual feature and control/adjustment you can think of. More buttons than my keyboard and a built in portrait grip as part of the body.
Oh yea and RRP is $8000 USD, $14,000 AUD
I placed my order on the 7th of December 2004, it's been almost a 3 month wait.
Took me 10 minutes at the shop to figure out how to put the battery in, took me another 10 minutes to figure out how to change modes. Took me half an hour to figure out how to preview and scroll through the photos - I'm good arn't I
Time to read the thick manual.
