The 5D

Fresh from graduation and without a job, I broke and smashed my bank and spent close to 4 grand for the 5DMk2 and its peripherals. The irony is that while I have not fully-utilized the camera for my own endeavours, the camera has exchanged many hands. I'm quite upset that the camera, a prized possession, went out in good condition but returned with holes and knocks and scratches all over, and yet no one had the decency to admit, each time it came back with another flaw. Except one of course and I appreciate your honesty for it, and no, I'm not blaming you. If anything, I thank you instead for reminding me how precious the camera is and how I have to play it fair, especially since I've had my fair share of failures and sacrifices in my filmmaking endeavours. Now fortunately for the one-year warranty but it also means that the camera is now out of bounds.
