You're right. :bsmilie: Firstly, I wasn't sure if I could get one before my trip. Secondly, early reports that some copies have low ISO banding freaked me out. That's why I was vacillating whether I would get it or not.
Fortunately, stock arrived early so I figured I will have enough time for some rigorous testing. Just started on them... Luckily my copy is completely free from low ISO banding (tested with Rawnalyze)! :sweat: What a relief! Also, no AF micro-adjustment needed for my main walkabout lens too. Cool.
But AF is kind of iffy in low light... Cannot compare to the 450D and 50D. Hmmm.... let me investigate more.
