Great Bay Area Stores (CA) in Canon EOS Mount Posted August 14, 2008 Hello All! I need fast and intelligent help from you Photopraphers out there! Let me condition w/these points: 1) I am not the photographer in the family. 2) I normally don't utilize forums fro feedback. But I need help. Hope that you can help me and are willing to do so..... My Husband's last of the 40s Birthday is coming up next weekend. He has been photographing for years, but his last camera purchase was (from me - good wife) a few yrs ago and was the EOS1D (4.1 megapix/8 frames....). He has been slobbering over the EOS5D. We are in Fresno, so we make photo purchases in the Bay Area. We love the service, etc. of Calumet (S.F.), and have entertained KSP (in Palo Alto). Calumet has just quoted me a price of $2299 for the EOS5D kit. Wolf camera quoted me $2499. KSP quoted $2300. These prices seem high! Are they? What other stores do you pros recommend? Is this a huge up tick from the 1D? Please respond regarding most highly recommended CA Bay Area camera stores, and the quality of this pending purchase. He does alot of "weird" phtography: depth of field, nature, sports, has done a few weddings...... He's really good, just needs to gather w/a group for feedback. Thinking about the BAPC (?)..... Please advise.
