Switching to Mac? EOS 5D MKII…

Yearend is coming. Shopping time, time to reward myself…

I’ve been eyeing for a Mac for a while, to replace my near 7 years old self-built PC. Now it’s time to make some decision, very much driven by cost…

Struggling between 20″ iMac, 13″ MacBook, 15″ MacBook Pro, or just a highend PC laptop running Vista?! Windows 7 is coming in one year time… Really not worth paying for the premium for IT gadget. Though I really like the new MacBook Pro. Sigh! MBP only nearly $3.2K, can get a very good PC laptop + some software that I want… Another headache, Adobe Lightroom 2 or Aperture 2?

It’s also time to get the fullframe DSLR that I’ve been waiting for nearly 2 years: Canon EOS 5D MKII. Expected to sell at $3.5K for body only… Attaching to my 24-105 f/4L IS, it would be a perfect combination for majority of my shooting needs. Drooling for one… Can take 1080p HD video some more!

Come to think of it, I shall just get the 13″ MB and stick to the “free” software from Apple & Canon… Let wait and see the review comparing MB and MBP. 5D MKII is a no-brainer.
