As a quick follow up, the evening went well, the new A1s/G1s lens gears feel really good and the new connectors will hold up better. The 5Dmk II really had everyone's attention. We saw alot of really good footage on the big screen, especially the night footage of the shuttle launch....shot from 3 miles away and you could see amazing detail plus it handled the massive light change extreamly well. But, its not very practical to shoot alot of video...yet.
As a quick note, we got a few A1s in stock today.
