5D Mark II now or wait ?

[akdwivedi]

If you get a feeling that you should wait that means you dont need it.. Dont try to get a confirmation of your feelings from others, you will be ridiculed. and unless you have loads of money dont spend it on something that you dont need.. there are so many needy people in this world who could benefit from your spare money.. Donate it to the flood vicitims in Pakistan or to those dying of hunger in Africa and India..

Get the best use of your money.

saw a similar thread in chinese...copy some comments below...very funny...if you read chinese...

估计5D3最快也要明年才会上市吧，5D2卖得好，市场上又没有太强力的竞争对手，佳能应该不会急着更新。纯属个人意见呵呵。

新机出来你也买不起。想入就早点如吧

出不出新机, 和5D2有什么关系???
就算昨天就出了5D3，喜欢5D2的人一样喜欢, 看不上的一样看不上.

早买早享受，晚买晚割肉。

just for laugh...

Haha, nice one

5D3 estimates it will take at least next year before listing, 5D2 sold well, the market has not too strong a competitor, Canon should not hurry to update. Oh my personal opinions.

The new machines come out you can not afford. Would like to join the breakfast as it

Out no new machines, and 5D2 What is the relationship???
Even yesterday out of the 5D3, 5D2 people like, like love, despise the same disdain.

Buy enjoy early morning and late evening to buy his own flesh.

Get the camera and start enjoying photography. Wait awhile more and 5DMIV is out.
On going technology advancement of tomorrow should not be a reason for us not to enjoy those present today.
Anyway photography is an art. Lots of fine art photographers are still using expired polariods to make picture. Check this youtube clip, and the related ones.

My guess is mainly because of the coverage of the VF. Currently for FF only D700 have an built-in flash but the VF coverage is even "smaller" than the D300. :think:

My feeble attempt translating the text.

It will be at least a year before 5D3 to be available on the market by estimation, 5D2 is selling well, and there are no strong competitors on the market for it, so Canon should not be in a rush to replace it. Purely a personal opinion keke.

You also cannot afford the new camera when its released. Want to jump on it then do it soon.

Whether or not if there's a new camera release, what does it have to do with 5D2?
Even if 5D3 was released yesterday, 5D2 lovers will still love 5D2, 5D2 haters will remain the same.

Buy earlier enjoy earlier. Buy later feel the pinch later.
===
Hope this captures the essence.

hi guys, i'm intending to buy 5D mk ii or should i wait for the mk iii?

Get the Mark I now and use it until the Mark III is out. Make a decision then. The Mark II's 9 point AF carried over from the Mark I is a significant disappointment.

Nobody knows when the Mark III will be released. Canon is under no obligation to release it after Mark II has been on the market for an X amount of time, so any speculation is moot. They can announce it next month if they want. The release of 550D so soon after 500D went on the market surprised many people.
