Calling to Order: the NEDAA (New Equipment Day Anxiety Anonymous) Meeting

[Normware]

Ha! You late adopters don’t know what it means to have to wait.

”Waahhh, 2nd day air. I ordered on Wednesday and it won’t be here til Friday”

When I wanted an R5 I had to wait on a list for three shipments from the distributors. It was months before my camera was shipped and when it shipped it was from Canada, Canada Post Ground, in the snow, up hill, one way, through customs, to USPS! It took 8 calendar days to get from Toronto to Seattle.

instant this, instant that has made all you whippersnappers soft I tell ya.



Congrats, I agree waiting is the pits I bet you are both loving those new bodies I know I am.

8 days from Toronto to Seattle? Thats like overnight shipping by Canada post. It takes over 8 days to get something from Toronto to Ottawa. And that's only a 5 hour drive away. Luxury I tell ya!

But that's shipping by beaver sled or something, isn't it?

Here we go again... RF 70-200 is on order to be delivered on Monday. We've decided we need two of these, one for hubs and one for myself. I think we'll need to arm (thumb?) wrestle to see if this one stays home or goes on the road with him.

Oh the horrors of waiting!! I just thought of a good reason that it's nice to have the same cameras and gear - if you break something you almost always have a backup!! I think the older one should go on the road

He's been taking the older lenses with him and I've been keeping the new ones at home, but I have a hunch he's going to want to take this one with him.
